You meet these women and it is quickly apparent which ones are actually cool with just being friends, and which ones still have lingering feelings or an unhealthy attachment to the guy. I've dated many guys who have had exes still in their lives as friends. I was like, wow, for once the boyfriend didn't kill her.But his obtuseness contributed to getting her killed. Never a crack in her voice, never sounds upset or like she’s been crying. When you hear her in the taped calls, asking her father the hard questions about why there was no death certificate, no ashes, etc., she sounds beyond calm, she sounds like she’s reading a grocery list. Her GPA and speaking several languages prove she’s intelligent. I agree that she didn’t seem as bright as she apparently is. Either that or there was some other case that was eerily similar (which, sadly, may very well be true). I could swear I've seen Hope Whispers before. The dad really got under my skin and it infuriates me that he is not going to be held accountable. I'm getting angry all over again! I cannot believe that the authorities cannot do one single thing with this guy. There's no way in hell I would have accepted not telling relatives, not having any sort of service, and not getting one single answer. I would never have accepted the first story of my mom being taken off the street and my dad not telling me where she was. ![]() And Ellie told the interviewer "that wasn't my place." At 18, even if I didn't suspect my dad of having done anything wrong (even though his actions and words were clearly lies and made no sense) I would have at the VERY least thought my dad had lost his marbles with grief and I would have contacted my relatives. Perhaps Ellie is "book smart" but not "street/common sense smart." Damn girl, your dad says NOT to tell your mom's relatives she's dead. I don't care if she was 18 or 20 and had just lost her mom. I knew I'd be at the Forum wriing about my frustrations! I was extremely frustrated by the daughter's lack of questioning or action. You can have those skills even though young. Either she was too sheltered or lacking in critical thinking skills. The father is obviously guilty of something. I really hope that she and her Mother's family find out what happened. On a terrible shallow note, she obviously didn't get her looks from her father (unless it's deeper in the family tree), and she looked much more Asian when she was a little girl than she does now. Maybe under the flashy beauty she is a Nerd and the Dateline spotlight makes her uncomfortable. When we were told about her GPA and how many languages she speaks, I was rather surprised, as she doesn't come off as being brilliant. I'm glad that I'm not the only person who thought this. And I tend to think people that attractive don't have much motivation to develop strong personalities, so maybe that's part of it. I mean I know she had a 4.4 GPA and was in college so clearly she's not a dummy but maybe she's just not a great communicator, or she's the type who's book smart and people dumb. I hate to say it but the daughter just didn't seem all that bright. The world of college is very different from the actual world, so I don't fault Ellie for what she didn't do, I fault the one person who should be at fault-Jeff. In addition to being a lawyer, she had been in the working world. Seven years is huge in terms of adult maturity. Dateline made a point of saying Ellie's cousin was seven years older. I think asking Ellie to tackle this was a huge ask and an unfair one. ![]() She had no sibling perspective for context, and I think her dad played on that and on the authority he had by being her father. That's a huge leap to expect Ellie to make, especially as an only child. To challenge your parents at that age is a thing, never mind that your dad is telling you some strange story about your mother being dead. At that age, you're just beginning to figure out your own stuff as an emerging adult. Doesn't matter how brilliant she is or isn't. Ellie was what? 18, 20 tops? She was a college student. I don't think critical thinking had anything to do with it. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I think she was involved because I don’t, but the show made a point of talking about how brilliant she was, so it was odd that she lacked critical thinking here.
