Just to clarify... for accuracy's sake. A lot has been said about Bristol's whereabouts and I have tried to be accurate on this site. I can't always correct wrong information when it comes up in comments, but I try.
I need to post a clarification... again... about certain facts pertaining to Bristol, and her whereabouts during the time that "someone" was pregnant with Trig Palin.
Bristol was NOT AWOL for "five months" or "eight months" or "all of her mother's pregnancy." The assistant principal of Wasilla High has stated that she attended until mid-year. (I am taking this to be Christmas break, which is the end of the first semester at this high school.) She was seen in the Palin home by a reporter for Alaska magazine in December. (Note: the date of this article is listed as "February 2008" but that's the issue of the magazine in which the story was released. The article was written in December.) She was also seen at a Heart Association lunch on Feb 15th. We have a reliable report that she attended West High in Anchorage, living with her Aunt Heather Bruce in January and at least part of February. She was in a car accident in mid February in Wasilla.
What is true is that I can find no record of her whereabouts at all from late February until the prom photo taken on April 25th with Mercede Johnson.
Also, to correct another thing: I can find NO independent verification of where the "mono" story came from. None. It's been stated that people "said" she had mono for months and this is why it was said she was taken out of school. I can find no source for this whatsoever.
