Jumping off from your post Dr. F...might this be about the time the parents stormed down to the command center?
Going back and looking at some of the things in the early days of the investigation have been eye opening.
Consider that on. . .
Oct 4th
The parent's are "interviewed" by LE starting at 10:30am. They are not brought into custody, so I assume that means that interview happened in the home.
The parents are questioned til 10:30pm
LE is "fixated" on the window according to MSM at that time.
LE cancels the Amber Alert.
IMHO, after investigating the window, LE knows that the abduction story is likely false.
Oct 5th
Parents did not stay at the Lister house overnight between the 4th and the 5th.
At 12:00 noon they return to the Lister neighborhood and meet with family at a neighbor's house.
Did the phones start pinging again during this time. Could somebody just not help themselves from looking at what was on the phones?
They enter the backyard with LE and then remove some personal belongings from the house on Lister.
LE brought canines into the home.
LE removed several bags of evidence from the home.
At 3:30pm LE is searching the woods behind the house on ATV's.
I think at this point LE knows this is no abduction and they know that the "scene" was close to home.
Oct 6th
Parent's have a "heated" discussion with LE.
Parents are starting to understand that LE is not buying the story.
LE is searching Buckeye Park in a shoulder-to-shoulder search.
Parents are interviewed again by LE.
JI speaks for the first time to the public about the cell phones.
JI says he needs a "break" and is let go.
I can almost see how it went down. LE: So JI, she's over there spilling her guts. So she was cheating on you, huh? Were you spying on her phone? We understand, buddy. Is Lisa even yours? Just tell us. We get it. JI: Idk what you're talking about. LE: OK, you don't want to tell us about the phones. We have our polygrapher her today in the building. JI: Uh. . .OK . . .Gee, I think I need a break guys.
One hour later, LE announces that the parents are no longer cooperating.
LE shuts down the command center.
Oct 7th
It is announced that the parents have hired an attorney
LE is using metal detectors in their search around the Lister home.
Sooooo. . .what I am wondering is if those phones could have started pinging again? Were they not pinging on the 4th? Did they mysteriously start pinging again on the 5th? Did LE question JI about this on the 6th? Did he refuse to take a LDT? Was LE determined to find those phones on the 7th? :waitasec:
ETA- I added some of my thoughts in red above.
