Going back to the WaPo piece, the reason I questioned the locations is that they reported that grandma had "gone to see" a school counselor a week-ish before the shooting. So did she drive up from Fitzgerald too? And again, if they understood it to be so critical that it was worth the drive for an in-person meeting, were they choosing not to communicate with dad, was dad ignoring them, or...what?
Lastly, all he texted her was "I'm sorry, mom" and THAT caused her to call the school and then drive all the way there??? 
I'm thinking we should take everything sourced from the Polhamus clan with a gigantic grain of salt. This stuff ain't adding up.

Sure, but there is a couple of things cverified in that article. First, that she made the call to the school. They have the call record and the school did react to the call, if poorly. Second, they have text between them and the school a week before the shooting about Colt's mental health. They also have text after the grandmother met with the school administrators talking about the meeting. I doubt that is made up. The text are going really hard to pass off. I wouldn't trust their statements per se, but they don't strike me as [eople who would know how to dupe text messages.
None of this necessarily proves anything about what the dad knew. It is all going to be guessing until we have more of what the prosecution has.
