As sad as the case is, I know people OD every day. I trust that LE ruled out homicide (maybe still investigating who provided the drugs for charges) and any tampering, etc. I don't see their silence as extraordinary when compared to other similar cases. They just usually don't go viral and get...

I wonder if everyone at the house was using and woke up to find her deceased. I still agree help should be called and her family notified immediately but I'm conflicted with the homicide/murder charge in circumstances like that. Moo

I read that to mean the abuse of corpse will be the most severe of the charges we will see, not that other people will be charged. Moo

I think this may be true at least initially. But in time, it seems easier to accept an OD in which she likely didn't suffer than an assault of any type. MOO I also think it will be very important for those close to her to get counseling, possibly attend some NA meetings, etc to shift feelings...

Agree. I'm also wondering if the second dude is who called in the tip? Or perhaps someone who lives at the Brighton house and was there when they got there?

I guess I read it differently in that it specifically states it is often not found in postmortem autopsies. Either way, morphine is a "close cousin" to heroin and consistent still within her DOC group. Moo

I've read quite a bit on this to understand but certainly am no expert. From what I've read, heroin metabolizes into morphine within minutes. This chart is for a urine screen and not specific to after death testing but it indicates heroin is detected as morphine. ETA: Identifying cases of...

I've also considered that the person(s) giving the description may not have been completely sober and may not be the best judge for weight/ height. I know I'm horrible at estimating weight personally. Moo ETA: The descriptor "heavyset" may have been the words of the person taking the missing...

My hunch is the timeline is off. Perhaps she left closer to 11:30 p.m. and texted that when she got to the Brighton home and there were some people there that made her uncomfortable or she was worried about using. MOO

The last one is interesting. I have wondered if an informant is involved in this case. Would failure to report his address and leaving across state lines as a convicted sex offender also be considered a federal charge?

I agree. If more charges are issued, I suspect this may be it.

I haven't seen anything of the sort. But, I was just referring to your frustration with the WS rules. Sometimes it isn't the best fit for all. It took me a bit to get the hang of it but now much prefer it to other sites and SM. I can see that not everyone may see it the same, though.

Perhaps WS isn't the site for you. MOO

While I think this is all very important, hindsight is always 20/20. I've been left at bars and left others at bars (usually when someone was hitting it off with someone, or we planned to reconnect a bit later and wanted to be at diff bars, bc someone wanted to leave before someone else...

Agree. This is the most logical and consistent explanation with what LE has released. MOO

Urban dictionary has a couple definitions, neither of which have anything to do with digging a grave. MOO ETA: There does appear to be a book (and movie) titled Diggum, which is about a gravedigger. I tend to doubt this was the way FH was using it, though.

DBM- OT post (Don't want to add to clean up ) :)

Thank you for sharing your story. You bring up another important aspect of living with addiction. We don't know if Paighton relapsed or owed any debts but it is something to consider. Hopefully we get some new info soon from LE or any investigative journalist. Still a few more weeks before...

Agree! It is really interesting that an investigative journalist has not dug into his life a bit - place of employment, etc. though.

Maybe he stopped showing up to work after he was released following the kidnapping hold? That would explain why they couldn't have kept him/ brought him in on the violation charge yet.
