The last time I checked the name of this board was WEBSLEUTHS. And I think we are here to sleuth? No?
Yes, we are here to sleuth and hopefully find the answer to where Hailey is and what happened to her. Thank you for pointing this out teh! This is exactly the reason that it is recommended that people close to the case post on the "support" thread, not the "discussion" thread. That way they are not unduly upset.
I know that it must be hard for Billie's friends to understand what we do here, and to see people point out the inconsistencies in Billie's story. I know it would be hard for me.
I know that I believe LE over just about anyone. And LE had filed affadavits that prove that Billie has
NOT told the truth about her drug use. She admitted to LE that she took money out of an ATM to buy "illegal narcotics" for both her and SA. Then, she turned around and lied about using drugs on Nancy Grace. I am paraphrasing here, but she said something to the effect that drugs were not a part of her life. That is one of the things that I can't overlook. If a person is untruthful about small things, they will be untruthful about big things. Plus, she is so worried about what people think about her reputation, she seems to mention it way too much for someone whose daughter is missing. If my daughter were missing, I wouldn't give a rat's behind what anyone thought about me or give a carp about my reputation, those things would be the last thing on my mind. I would also
NOT be untruthful to LE. I would tell them everything, no matter how unflattering it might be to me.
Last and not least, I would cut off any and all communication with the person LE has named a suspect or "person of interest." In fact, it would be a cold day in H3ll before I had any contact with that person at all.
I know that there are folks that don't agree with me about Billie. I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I just don't trust a word that she says. I am sorry if this sounds harsh, I don't mean it to be that way.
As for "the story isn't changing, this is information finally coming out." I respectfully disagree. The story has changed. Billie hasn't been truthful to LE or to the very people she wants to help her find her child, the public.
Hailey needs to be found, bottom line. Hailey is the utmost concern to all of us.
However, like it or not, Billie's inconsistencies are
NOT helping bring Hailey home. And someone needs to make her aware of this.
One other thought, if it is true that Clint has cut off communication with Billie, that speaks volumes to me. That tells me he doesn't believe in her anymore, and quite possibly holds her somewhat responsible to what has happened to Hailey. I feel so terrible for Clint. He seems totally destroyed. I'm sure Billie is destroyed too, but in my eyes, Clint is
NOT to blame for what has befallen his daughter. He hasn't given inconsistent statements to LE or tried to mislead others about what has happened.
This is all in MOO, IMO, JMO, and all other disclaimers.
