Right.

I mean, that sucks that that happened to the kids.

But that mom wants nothing to do with them.

So Amanda, this is the daughter, also asked the public not to make any assumptions or accusations about what had happened.

Well, tell us what happened, then we won't assume anything.

I don't think she knows.

But she defended her father publicly, saying that her mother's disappearance should not be blamed solely on their marriage.

The family has asked for privacy while processing the situation.

Well, she's had privacy for 25 years.

She's had a lot of privacy.

Okay, so my theory is... It doesn't answer all the questions that we just asked, but...

she probably disappeared.

Like she went shopping, like she planned to disappear going shopping.

She probably thought I'll disappear at Christmas time.

I will, I will go shopping and I will tell everyone I'm going shopping when all along I'm going to disappear to this undisclosed location.

So that way it looked like she was abducted.

Okay.

Here's the thing though, in order for her to have pulled this off and for no one to be able to find her, not even the FBI, there had to have been a lot of planning that went into that because she goes shopping and then she disappears, which means she had to have had some type of residence set up somewhere.

She might've gone somewhere and just been homeless for a while.

We don't know.
