What if we are looking at this all wrong? What if Terri's actions caused her not to be the perp, but the recipient of someone's revenge plot? Her not so recent past has cast a light that she could be a rather impulsive person, not always participating in reality or the cause and effect of it all. Personally, I believe she had a 'bat phone' wayyyyy before any of this started. Her disdain towards her life and her enjoyment of er, odd activities, would dictate she needed to keep much of her life hidden.
Perhaps the LS was a darker soul than she anticipated? Perhaps she brought the truck to school to not be noticed by the likes of him or his friends. Maybe DD was brought not to help Terri but to help guard the baby from some very real threats.
All seemed to go well, for a while. DD goes to the farm, Terri was out running errands and she received a phone call. Someone has Kyron. Terri goes into her panic mode, retrieves DD, they start driving everywhere she can think of to find Kyron, thus making her ping from towers that clash with her newly needed alibi.
She's detached enough from reality to calm herself into believing she had nothing to do with his disappearance but cannot pass a LD test because she is well aware her actions set this horror into motions. (and in reality, quite responsible for what happened, though not directly)
Do I beieve anything I just wrote...no clue, but they seem to be a different set of dots...
These are more or less the dots that I can see. I but I think the abductor was the person in the truck with her that morning, and that he had his own vehicle parked there as well. He was seen in her truck b/c he was there speaking with her. I don't think she had necessarily expected him to be there that morning, perhaps it was a face to face conversation in the midst of an ongoing argument that had been via electronic means. I agree there was a "batphone" already in her possession. I think he was frustrated with her and her games, he was waiting for her to show up and then got in the truck to argue with her. At some point she got out to take the kids into the school.
I think she did leave Kyron as she said. I think she did go shopping. Everything was like a normal day except she had a cranky baby and, at some point, probably not long after her last store visit, she received a message or phone call telling her that this individual had Kyron. I am wondering even if she might have received this communication while waiting at Starbucks. If, as I suspect, that person was in the school at the same time that she left and that he took Kyron immediately there after, by that time he was an hour or more away.
But here's where I can't explain what she did and why.... why not call 9-1-1? Why did she instead call Dede? The only answer I can come up with is that she didn't think he was really all that dangerous.. she thought he had Kyron someplace locally... not that it was a joke, that's not what I mean.. but that he was trying to scare her and that she could possibly find him, get Kyron back and somehow conceal it all so that her "perfect" life wouldn't fall to pieces. Another idea I have is that the abductor knew about the MFH plot (because perhaps he was an associate of the MFH LS? I think he probably was somehow connected to Dede so maybe they had some sort of landscaping/gardening etc connection?) and threated to tell the police that she hired him to do it. Just a thought... Anyway, I think they couldn't find him or contact him, and while they were trying they dropped baby K off at the gym. I think this was something she had likely done before.. checked the baby in to the gym and then slipped out again. So eventually she went back home... to pray that somehow he ended up returning Kyron to the school or to her by the end of the day. But first, Dede took her phone to destroy any connection between the abductor and TH. If her relationship with the abductor was super secret and assuming the phone was destroyed, there would be no easy way to connect her to him so it was a "you didn't do it, you know nothing" policy that she was able to maintain.. until the LD test. Then,... not so much.
I have a heard time figuring out why, though, she has remained quiet if this series of connect-the-dots is reality.... At some point she would have decided to come clean, right? Its the big sticking point for me.. .but I have a hard time understanding why she has been so silent under any circumstance... about as hard a time I have believing that she plotted it all, settled on THIS particular plan, got people to agree to help her, and then carried it all out to apparent perfection, especially given the tight time frame.
