They dont show you the replies from the guy accused on that text msg..he could have replied WHAT ARE YOUBTALKING ABOUT. i've hung around criminals long enough to know that what his brother did..sending those messages..is exactly what you do to have someone else framed for something. He was just bignoting himself in jail saying he did it..everyone does that. Without her phonecrecords I one hundred percent believe they've got the wrong guy.

My first question is how does a 16-year old just walk out of school at 11am without anyone really knowing? The other thing I noticed is that when he was talking to the police outside the house he used the past tense. He said “she knew who the father WAS and she ain’t saying” and then “yeah, she knows who the father of her child WAS”. Both times he used the past tense. It’s always a red flag when people use the past tense when describing someone who is missing.

[@johnnyblaze387]

I used to leave my high school at 16 to skip at times and not 1 person even realized! Also our hs had a program where students would finish at times between 10 am and 1 pm so I guess no one was really paying attention or caring lol!

This. So one time my son had wandered off when he was being watched by his own dad...I had run to the store. When we realize he had just walked away (we were at a playground), I literally lost it. I called 911 right away. I was hysterical...his dad was just acting aloof. Obviously I'm not completely blaming him since the kids were playing, and we think he walked over to my car when I got back. But when you think you're missing a child or something like that bad is happening, the way people react says it all. I was hysterical and it was only a few minutes!! His dad was another story, he was acting aloof bc it might be HIS fault. And I always think of that when you see the Chris Watts type cases on KZbin where the people are acting like they don't know where their own kid is but also they're not bothered 🙄 HELLO?! Once that happens to you you're going to freak tf out.
