I find it strange that MP in his last interview wanted us to believe that he thought Gail was off somewhere with a friend for 8 months with no word from her, when he stated in his first interview after she went missing the following:
“We’re very upset,” Matt Palmgren said. “She’s had psychiatric issues in the past. ... Usually she just goes somewhere and decompresses but stays in contact with the kids.”

Here he doesn’t seem to answer the question re when he started being concerned, now if there was a pattern as he claims surely if she didn’t answer the kids at all Saturday or Sunday wouldn’t he be concerned.
MP: She left the kids. She said she was going out to make some phone calls, uh, to her cousin, Sherry. That’s what the kids told me. That’s when we sat there and called her to find out where she was and what she was planning on. And she’s taken off to the lake house before from Louisville when we lived there, as well as when we lived in Birmingham. Just kind of went there for her peace of mind. So we kind of thought that’s where she went. So we spent the day together after that.
JM: When you didn’t see her on that Saturday, how much time passed before you started becoming concerned or when did you . . .
MP: The kids and I texted her, said . . . you know, there’s been patterns of this before. Said ‘we hope you’re okay’ . . . everything else . . . uh, find out what you’re thinkin’. Uh, she said she was going to spend the weekend down there and the kids were mine for the weekend. We were going to do baseball games, bike riding and everything else.
I also don’t get how she told him she was going to the lake-house when she was at the bottom of a cliff not far from home or is it just the way I am reading this when he is stating they were texting and asking her if she was ok etc after she left and that seems to be when she said she was going down there for the weekend!!!!
This is another thing I don’t get, MP is more than happy to not find out what made Gail’s jeep go over the edge of the mountain and yet even he stated she had fears of being followed, now I don’t know about anyone else but if she had been stating those fears and there seems a big question mark over how she lost control I would be asking for anybody who might know more to come forward. Not bashing those who are asking hey wait a minute something seems wrong here.
Mathew Palmgren alleges his wife became paranoid recently and would write down license plate numbers to try to identify drivers because she believed people were following her, according to court records.

Ok one last thing I don’t get, the phone ping on the Monday. The report said the last activity was just after she went over the cliff, but right from the start there was talk of a phone ping near Walmart. Ok so now I really don’t understand phone pings.
Believe I had to use your post re the ping as it was the only comment I could find verifying it at the time (I had to copy and paste as I didn’t know how to do it any other way)

I gave her the info JD-you will just have to take my word for it I am afraid. You are free to question the validity of it for sure, but it is in fact true and it would be a good way of drawing anyone who might have seen her or her phone.

I understand with the data the LEO had to work with the only answer they can give is accident, but so much still doesn’t make sense and I get the feeling we will never know why it happened. Like most people I was hoping for a straight clear cut this is how it happened report that would remove all doubt in my mind that Gail wasn’t forced off the mountain….some bits make sense but other bits just don’t.
I know one thing for sure I will never understand MP's words or behaviour through all of this especially the fact that even after the accident report he couldn’t speak with out his attorney, that just seemed strange to me. What did his attorney think he could say wrong at this stage….well that’s me done rambling and as always this post is just some thoughts that were running around in my head.
