There’s a stark difference between finding conspiracy in everything and judicially applied critical thinking.

Truth matters. Ignoring it in favor of “alternative” facts, even for funsies, is how we got into the current mess we’re in as a country.

Fair.

Guy goes missing for a few weeks. When they have the search at the park, the family finds the body within minutes even though police have dogs on the scene.

The body is decomposed, but the notebook and pictures seem to be fine? Parents also found that.

I get it is far-fetched, but I don’t think it is wild to think otherwise

The skull was confirmed to be his by the FBI. Dental records don’t lie. Anyone who refuses to believe that it’s Laundrie at this point is the epitome of willful ignorance.

I have a mom on this thread telling me she would do anything to protect their child, so I don’t think it is out of the realm of possibility.

There are also times when the FBI has made mistakes.

I am not Sandy Hooking it here, or telling you you have to believe it.

Once again, stating abject belief in a given conspiracy and leaving room for the improbable are not the same thing.

It’s possible that I’ll sprout wings tomorrow and then proceed to fly directly into the sun.

Do I believe it will happen? No. Am I open to it? Sure.
