I think it depends upon how old the girls were. If they were 6, 7 or 8, he could throw out the pills and explain it away.

But if they were 10 12, 13 or more, then he couldn't easily do that. And I think they might have been older because they noticed and recognised the problem. I think that if the girls were old enough to realise it was drugs spiking their shakes, they were probably saying 'Hey, lets go show the police what happened" ---Grandpa had no choice?

I don't think it was about targeting DQ. If he made a very public claim about DQ in an effort to sue them, whoever sold him those pills would be blackmailing him, for sure. He'd never get away with that if he won a settlement. IMO

OK, so it happened at 10pm and the victims were 15 and 16? It was sexual motivation, IMO. I have no doubts now.

He was putting the pills in the shakes inside the store, away from the girls seeing him. That's who he was trying to fool.

If he was going to sue DQ he'd have put the pills in outside, away from the employees. imo

He was a perv up to no good and those girls are lucky to find this out now before it was too late, imo.

My gut reaction is that of shock seeing that this lady is protecting her husband, but I can rationalise that denial may be strong especially towards a person you have been with for a long time (if that is indeed the case).

However, it's quite disgusting to see her response: she had no intention of hearing her granddaughter out? I mean, legally you shouldn't speak about the case anyway, but it sounds like a very dismissive and nasty response toward an alleged victim (who btw is her relative and a minor) who you think is reaching out to you, especially when your husband is accused of being the monster who did this to her.
I would probably be mortified and ashamed if I was Jan, but she almost sounds blasé about it.

MOO

It's his step granddaughter, anyway His wife has probably known about many other similar 'incidents' over the years with others.

I definitely agree! Is the text he sent from his wife's phone available anywhere? I keep seeing reference to it but not what it actually says.

That is terrifying and certainly a possibility.

But if the granddaughters discovered the pills, the grandfather didn't have to alert police. He could've just thrown everything away and gone somewhere else for ice cream. He purposely called attention to the pills, and that's why I think he was targeting the DQ employees for some unknown reason.

I still want to know where Pops got the pills.

Well, for one thing, the children were old enough to go home and tell mom and dad, who (probably/most likely) would notify the authorities.

Grandpa, is ATTEMPTING DAMAGE CONTROL. However his motive is perplexing.

MOO

Absolutely vile
He had to have planned it too - get the pills from some clearly illegal source in advance, get the girls to the ice cream place on the right day.
And his wife closing her eyes on it.. How possibly?
MOO

Would Grampa have a a claim in a lawsuit? He wasn't the one harmed. Surely if there was a claim it would be in favour of the girls.

If that is the case, even more inexcusable that she is still on his side!!

Sickening

With grandma being so unsupportive (to say the least) of the girls, it makes me wonder what the parents are like. Better than the grandparents, one can only hope.
