So if SM did do this and it was planned, the part I am confused about is she could not have known for sure that she could make an appearance at the school, take a photo, and have no one be able to say they saw him leave with her.
I am wondering if the plan wasn't more along the lines of she was expecting a call from the school saying he was absent. I am not sure what the plan was when that call came in but that is the logical outcome of a child not being at school.
Was she going to say he was sick, acting odd, that he was with someone else?
Did the plan change when no one called?
How good of job did she do when "finding out" he wasn't on the bus.
I have no problem thinking a parent/caretaker is responsible. Statistically they almost always are. But showing up at the school and being that confident that no one saw him leave doesn't make sense to me.
And they are being very clear to say SM was the last one to see him, that means no student or friend is saying they walked to the exhibits with him.
I am wondering if what the teacher's saw was SM walking around the school that morning. If we really do not know when the photo was taken I wonder if he was really there that morning.
I don't get calmly planning to kill a young child. I guess rage flip outs make so much more sense to and piecing together an alibi after the fact seems more logical to me. To preplan it and then have your phone ping in a place you didn't say you were makes no sense to me.
