Two missing girls

Well if you have seen that one girl (forgot her name) who claimed she didn't kill her kids and was crying all the time. She ended up getting the benefit of the doubt while her husband (who was stone cold with no emotions) was the one that got the blame. Turns out it was her who killed the kids.
 
You know, I honestly think questioning parental emotion on national tv about this to be absurd. Unless you've had a kid missing, I really don't think you have much authority on speaking about how you would react to the situation. You might have an idea on how you think you might react, but that isn't the same thing as the way you would actually react to it in a situation like that.

I just don't think it's fair to paint with a broad brush about any situation you personally haven't been in.

Get's out of being interrogated and goes straight to the press saying he was just questioned by the police??? Why would you do that? If I was just interrogated wrongfully, the last thing I would do is go straight to the press saying so.

that's you, everyone handles things differently.

but reading what rux posted about the man he seems like a shady character.
 
I'm not going to speculate based on what emotions the parents or relatives show. Would it make them any less innocent to see them crying on camera? No. People can put on acts for the camera all the time.
The parents didn't cry on camera? ok.
The parents went through a lie detector test? ok.
The parents were questioned by investigators? ok.
All of that proves nothing and leads to nothing.

I'm just saying you can't really question people's emotions. Would it make you feel any better if they were crying their eyes out on camera? Because if they really wanted to, I'm sure they could put on a great act and cry for the people.
 
Let the authorities worry about who is or isn't a suspect. I am sure they know more than anyone on this board. the thought of losing your child on a bike ride is horriffic, give the family the benefit of the doubt before making up wild theories that have no known merit

That's not what I want at all, actually. I see exactly what you're saying, I just have a feeling they know something about it and their emotions just seem weird to me.
 
As trauma goes, it is experienced very differently. In regards to showing no emotion, it is not uncommon at all. Often people experiencing trauma are in the fight or flight mode. They are working hard to pull things together, and are ignoring their emotions for the time being. It is very likely that individuals who go through traumatic events will not experience negative emotional blow back for up to 6 months later. You can take the Parkersburg tornado for example. Many people experienced emotional and psychological problems much later after the tornado.
 
My question would be how would the parents be involved if the kids were at their grandma's house. How would the parents know when the kids left the grandparents?
 
did they not bring the dogs in until yesterday or did I miss something? Isn't that something you would do as quickly as you could?

The dogs brought in were FBI trained dogs, not the local dogs they used at the outset of all of this (they turned up nothing). In the press conferences on Monday, the Black Hawk Co. Capt said that the FBI were working on getting their dogs there.

Dogs were used on Saturday from the area/state if I remember right.

You might want to google the Riley Fox case. The investigators got the father to confess to raping and murdering his daughter even though it was later found he didn't do it.
 
Admittedly, I'm starting to wonder, but to the 'didn't show emotions' crowd....I'd say for a fact, that if my 2yo was missing, and I thought there was something I could do to help, I'd be stone f'ing cold on camera and cry my f'ing eyes out when I was helpless or couldn't be of help...whether that be getting coffee for the folks actually working the case or washing their damn shorts if that's what was needed.

thanks, I've been reading the articles sporadically and only saw mention of bringing in (I presume the FBI dogs) several days later.
 
Johnny Gosch's mom, Noreen, took similar heat for always having her hair and makeup perfect whenever she'd be on TV in the days following Johnny's abduction. And if I recall correctly, she and her husband were questioned by police, who she claims didn't take the abduction too seriously in the beginning.
 
As others have said, who are we to say how someone should act when a camera is shoved in their face? Sure, it's easy for us to say we'd be a wreck and in tears 24/7. But who knows. Denial, shock and numbness of a situation like that can leave a person emotionless. Doesn't mean they're any less sad, fearful or angry. If the parents had nothing to do with it, they're probably in "find them" mode right now, and crying may not come for awhile.
