It's the natural parental reaction... what if I had done something differently. Guilt something that has been sorely lacking in this case, IMO.

Several things about the mother's interview struck me. First, it is apparent that they are not close, and apparently weren't raised to be. Mrs. W. seems to have a fixation on the man that she left. There's not quite as much David detail, stuff we'd already heard. On RR yesterday the interviewer stated mom said he was a loner and didn't have any friends. That statement was actually made by a neighbor. Spin... I just thought parts of it were odd, that's all.

Guilt? Reference the "Smart" family of Salt Lake. The father says he would never have hired the handy man if he had checked out his background first. THIS is an example of parental "guilt".

OTOH, we have the Van Dams, who absolutely 100% have never uttered one single word to take back the events of that evening, which when added up, certainly contributed to the culpability of their daughter's disappearance.

"We have no regrets"...

So much for guilt.
