Question F

[Jonetta]

Hannah/Ivy trusts no one, rightly so, and created certain challenges because of that distrust. Did she make the investigation harder? Should she have reached back out to Lucy after the accident?

[Anita]

Her #1 goal was protecting her sister. #2 was protecting the other girls. She believed that her father was so powerful that she couldn't trust anyone in law enforcement. She made the investigation harder for sure. She didn't know Lucy and had no reason to trust her.

[Robin]

I think she thought that if she answered Lucy and Genie's questions, they would demand the sister be returned to her home. Hannah wasn't about to let that happen.

[Jonetta]

I agree with both of you. She made the investigation a lot harder but trusting Lucy and/or Genie was a big risk. I understood why she didn’t. I kept wondering if there was anything Lucy could have done differently to create that trust.

[Melissa]

I agree. She didn't know Lucy or Genie. I wondered the same thing, Jonetta. Lucy is usually so good with words.

[Anita]

Both Genie and Lucy were injured in the crash. Genie seriously. That may have thrown Lucy off her game and getting Hannah to stay and cooperate was just beyond her at that time.

[Jonetta]

No, she was given enough time because of that accident.

[Sharon]

I agree with everyone. I understand Ivy's fear and lack of trust though.

[Charlene]

Ditto, again.
