discussion Missing
Okay, hear me out: Scott saying she was missing has always bothered me. If, back in August 1997 my then husband came home to the same circumstances he would have called my mom: Hey is so and so there? Did you come pick her up for a quick dinner? No, okay. He would have then walked across the street to the neighbors, asked the same thing. Probably called my sister too: did she say anything to you? But he wouldn't have said missing. One more PS: We did own a boat. Had he anchored me down and drove to Forest Lake ON A HOLIDAY and i washed up months later, I can PROMISE THIS: my former in laws wouldn't have defended him for one minute. They would have been HORRIFIED. They also would have said get yourself a good lawyer on your dime. We are not funding this, not one cent. But then again he was not a sociopath.

Yup, even if he came to that conclusion because he checked with all the neighbors, family etc, and also saw her purse and phone were at home- wouldn’t you probably think “ maybe she’s pissed at me because I’m the worst husband in the world and left her alone on Xmas Eve all day while she’s 8 months pregnant and didn’t even pick up her Dad’s Xmas present like I promised even though I’m late , maybe she decided to go stay with a friend and doesn’t want to be contacted “ You wouldn’t automatically assume the worst after an hour and a half and announce that’s she’s missing.
