I've listened to the pc twice and skimmed over the transcript (Thanks, Belimom, that was incredible and FAST!) and call me a Koolaid drinker if you must, but my heart really goes out to BD.
She clarified between what she knows and what she was told later by DD and SA.
When she brought up the Monday witnesses, she said she didn't understand why LE had ruled them out. I understand, because I'm an objective sideliner, but BD's daughter is missing. IMO, if I were in her shoes, I would be angry and questioning, and IMO, since LE has already come out with 'these witnesses can't be corroborated', I don't see how it hurts their investigation in any way to explain to BD, not me, but BD, why that is so. It's also my opinion if she can't see why these witnesses don't stack up, that puts the last sighting of Hailey at 8:30pm, which IMO gives her a lot of reason to be wondering why they are even looking at SA.
As far as BD defending SA and being on friendly terms with him, I'm not crazy about it, but I get it. Not get it in the way of it would be something I would do, but get it in how there are a lot of dysfunctional, messed up people in this world; BD is far from being unique in that area.
About her comments regarding the unnamed someone asking for handouts and blah, blah, blah. I get that, too. IMO, BD is no more involved in Hailey's disappearance than my suspicions of who he who shall not be named is. I have some anger issues, and if I was in a position of being reamed continually while someone else was practically being annoited for sainthood, appropriate or not, I would more than likely have a few things to say about it as well. I can't even say I would be as nice about it as BD was.
There's my :twocents:, make of it what you will. I also want to say I am not nor ever have been a 'ooohh, a mother couldn't do something like that' kind of gal. I pretty much think anyone is capable of anything.
