I really hope I'm wrong, but I'm always suspicious

of "dry criers", especially when their dialogue is "me-centric".

Think back to Casey Anthony and Susan Smith. Why does this video look so familiar?

1. I said the same thing.

If my child was missing I don't think I would even be able to talk.

2. Agreed.

Something isn't ringing true with the video. She's trying to squeeze out tears, but they aren't coming. There just seems to be too much of a sympathy grab going on, and the comparison to Susan Smith is astounding. Body language experts often cite eye movement as a major factor in determining honesty or deceit. IMO, her eyes are very evasive.

I wouldn't convict her based on just this video, but it sure does give me chills.

3. I'm totally suspicious. For me, it's the fact that she's wearing lipstick.

She did her makeup to go in front of the cameras. And why does she need notes to read from?

To me, if I were genuinely freaked out about my kid being missing, I sure as hell wouldn't need to read from notes to say what I'm feeling.

The moment I caught sight of her on TV, it just struck me as a near certitude that the poor little boy is already dead, and the mother did it - with the dad helping with the coverup.

I know it's a terrible thing to say, but I'd lay odds on it.

I'd be happy to be proven wrong, and the boy is found alive. Or if he's found dead, it's in such a way that clearly does not implicate the parents.

Either way, I hope this gets resolved soon.

4. I have a bad feeling on this too.

If my dog gets out of my sight, I am after her in a heartbeat.

Somehow, the dad could not catch a 6 year old who takes off?

5. The story gets murkier...

The park worker who made the 911 call doesn't recall seeing the boy at the park at all.

6. They've found little Maddox, but with the worst news.

He may be found, but the story isn't over.
