[quote=Anonymous]A few comments as someone who used to have au pairs:

1.  You agree with them in advance on their weekly schedule.  So if Juliana is to be believed, she probably was slated to start work that morning at 8 AM.  She could've taken the family's car to run an errand before her shift.  I would be interested to hear if she took the child with her to run the errand.  That would be highly unusual, since the au pair's "off time" means no child responsibilities.  Would be quite suspicious.

2.  Au pairs get a J-1 visa good for 1 year.  Once her year is up (which apparently was now), they can:

1.  Return home;
2.  Continue staying with their host family for another year (called extending); or
3.  Request to extend with a new host family (in which case they interview and hope to "match" with a family).

In the case of 2 and 3, that allows them to stay legally in the US for an additional year.

However, 2 and 3 require (1) the au pair agency to agree to the extension and (2) the Department of State to approve the extension.  I'd be interested in how the agency handled this.  I imagine they wanted her to leave the country right after the murder, or immediately re-match with a different family.  The au pair agencies are pretty hands off, but allowing an au pair to stay in a home where the host mother was murdered seems... a lot, even for them.

Also, what BS that the au pair knows all about some sordid relationship between CB and JR but doesn't recognize his car?!  Sure.[/quote]
