It was a year ago that our search team found Susan's remains. The amazing support of WebSleuth friends helped with the search teams, and most especially with my adjustment over this past year. There were some hard times, but I was able to lean on several WS friends. You understood the situation...
Typically, a life insurance policy requires a death certificate before paying out. If there is no body, it depends on circumstances before the person can be declared deceased. For example, after 9/11 the insurance payouts were prompt. On the other hand...
And that't the article addressing why the police raised this from medium to high risk: "Over the weekend, however, police officers spoke to her brother and her mother, who said this behaviour was very unusual and out of character, so the case was raised to high risk. High risk means that it is...
A friend from Perthshire visited Susan's site today to plant forget-me-nots and periwinkle. Susan would have loved all the dogs that visited today. And she's smiling down on us WebSleuthers with thanks and love. The people of Aberfeldy left a nice message and flowers at the gate where Loch Hoil...
JoyM, I don't agree with your comments: "The pain of the loss is always much greater than whatever difficulty the depressed individual worries they're inflicting upon their loved ones. But I know that this lie feels like the most profound truth to many people afflicted with suicidal depression."...
Thirteen seems fairly young for suicide. I wonder if she was prone to impulsive behavior. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2008/10/do_children_commit_suicide.html [Slate isn't my #1 go-to site for scientific data.]
Or was it Nichole's 13 year old brain flipping between being a little kid with her fuzzy blanket, and being the suave teen sneaking out for a rendezvous? Between knowing she needs meds to prevent organ rejection, and a devil-may-care jaunt into independence/desirability? It must be so hard to be...
Zazzz,
I routinely stay in touch with a fellow searcher, voyeuristically. I watch his FaceBook posts, and vice versa, with a monthly PM to say hi. He keeps me up to date about things in Aberfeldy. And a kind woman who shared her home and searched with us still email I occasionally, as does the...
Hi Friends,
I've been thinking of how to say this for a month now, and the words still don't come to me easily.
There were 7 of us searching for Susan in the forest the day we found her, and two others who were a short distance away at the nursery with Barra the recovery dog. Sadly, one of our...
"might generate an unnecessary warning"...
How could it possibly be an unnecessary warning? How many assaults does it take for them to recognize that warnings (and police on the camino) are necessary?
Yes, paradoxical undressing is theoretically possible. But the depression in her coat where she sat leads me to think she intentionally took off her coat and sat upon it. And that doesn't fit with paradoxical undressing being the "last effort of the victim". Susan moved from sitting on her coat...
Are there any insights/comments about his pickup having sat in that location from Sep 8 (Sheetz sighting) until Sep 14 (when found 1 mile from his home)? I'm curious to know if it was driven and later dumped off there? Was it wiped clean of all fingerprints, or were Morten's prints there as if...
ZaZara,
You have done such an amazing service for Denise's family, but more so for all pilgrims. Now if only they will listen to the warnings you have promoted instead of their "intuition" or "guardian angels". Facts are facts, and the Camino is NOT SAFE! Travel in groups!
