And, like, I’m not convinced in any direction about suicide or coercion or anything, but everything JPM seems to just create more questions and cast suspicion on him.
Going along with the suicide hypothesis, why on earth would she go to Lumber River State Park? Especially if being found was important to her. Women tend to not want to be inconvenient, and I can imagine Mica being that way. Was she maybe living in the area after the separation? Or, if she was mentally ill, perhaps an episode of mania landed her across state lines and thinking that was a sensible idea.
And then the gun. How did she get that? When? Was it hers? Was it legally obtained? Did her family know about it? JPM says she had been gone to a mental institute multiple times. Would that not make it difficult for her to get a gun? Without connections, illegally obtained guns can be pricey to get, especially for someone who was allegedly struggling to pay her divorce attorney while making her car payments.
And lastly the previous alleged suicide attempts.
85-95% of suicide attempts involving a firearm are fatal, and so it would seem impossible that her previous alleged 2+ attempts used a firearm. If that’s true, what were the other methods she had attempted? Was this the first deviation into something more “messy”? Were those attempts during mental health episodes (mania, depression, etc.)?
I assume LE is looking into all this and already knows a lot, but IMO JPM is not doing anything to help the optics for him, and is just creating more questions.
