I'll be damned. I was going to ask if anyone knew how she got the job in the first place. Why? You put your finger right on it. I had no idea that Stan was known to have changed his story about it.
There's only one reason: The first question I'd ask him is, "Uh, how did you come to meet and hire Ms Harrington as a babysitter?" I mean, I would have asked that the day they first reported him missing. I mean, after the parents, the babysitter is the very next suspect. And I'd have had her in another room asking her, "How did you come to meet the Patzes and become their babysitter?" First day.
And somebody convince me that this SoHo photog with the So Hot portfolio had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Howard Green. Or the Ford Modeling Agency. Or Michael Carr. Or Rodney Alcala.
Which reminds me--I wonder if we'll ever know who took all those "glamour" shots of Misses Voskerichian, Freund, Lauria...
...which reminds me of something else--if you were a high mucky-muck in the Church of Scientology, whom would you task with recruiting SoHo and Hollyweird stylists and photographers into joining the Church with promises of Thetan-scale success? If not Michael Carr?
It's funny (or not. The Manson Family were up to their eyeballs in educated members) that the Manson Family talked about reenacting the Flaying of Marsyas with Frank Sinatra as Marsyas. I've been in and around showbiz and fashion and glamour and art and design my whole life. Everybody knows that deal: "You'll get to be famous and adored and loved, but you'll have to sacrifice yourself to the critics. That's the price." Beauty and Talent ARE witchcraft. Everybody knows it. They need all the magic they can get. And they KNOW how stingy the Muses are. "Are you willing to sacrifice..." Everybody knows the Devil runs The Business. Everybody KNOWS you have to deal with the Devil if you want a piece of his business. Everybody.
I'm the least shocked person in the world to find out that some of them apparently sacrificed their own children. Hell, most successful people are monstrous parents, anyway. And it doesn't take much to get a narcissistic sociopath to sacrifice anybody, any time. Abraham (remember him? The guy God made prove he was willing to sacrifice his own child? How about King Agamemnon, who DID sacrifice his daughter--she was about 6-7 years old at the time. The same age as Etan, JonBenet...) and Mary Lincoln knew full well that Springfield and Washington were cesspools of disease, with sky-high child mortality rates. And sure enough, two of their sons were sacrificed to Abraham and Mary's political ambitions. Heck, Uncle Abe sacrificed 600,000-750,000 sons on the altar of Freedom...
It's a price too high for most to pay. But for a few...
