The purported "transcript" of texts

8. Pastor and Family Friend are mutually exclusive?

And there can only be ONE other person that called the family after the photo was on every news channel in the country?

Personally I find it pretty preposterous that the parents didn't know it was Tyler the second the photos hit the news which IIRC was that not long after. So yeah, I don't 'trust' the story but I find it of little consequence in the grand scheme. They are probably giving the family cover for the fact they didn't call the cops for many hours after they figured it out. They probably got MANY calls in the interim from people recognizing Tyler. But they were trying to figure out what to do, discussing their options. Only after ENOUGH people called did they decide there's no way out of this for their son.
