I agree with your main point that making a rock concert or other public venue 100% safe for everyone is not possible. Adults do have to accept responsibility for themselves. However, we don't know a lot of the facts. The UVA student and her father both witnessed MH appearing to hitchhike...

Followed My Republica with regard to another case in Nepal, and found the articles found there to be more detailed, apparently more carefully researched & much less sensationalized than Western media coverage. Seems odd that they would publish a total fabrication. Perhaps one of the...

A fascinating read: http://www.highcrimesbook.com/ Find out why some Himalayan expeditions are bringing armed guards. Being robbed of your water heater or sleeping bag or rope or other gear @ 20K feet can cost your life. The motives for the thefts are two-fold: local people...

Quote from Inquisitr link: The original case was bungled. Her father Paul Sacco himself discovered items belonging to his daughter in May 2011. They had been left in her hotel room and included a laptop that had presumably not been checked since her disappearance from the area over a year...

Did the concert arena do anything wrong? The only suggestion of possible mishandling of the situation is that perhaps the staff at the front door was abusive in how they ordered MH to go away. The Hook mentioned that one of the witnesses described a "commotion" at the entrance. Was the staff...

Who seems to have made a big effort to cover it up? Do you mean the Harringtons or the friends she went to see the Metallica concert with? Speculation: "Group #1" whom MH went to see Metallica with were basically nice, trustworthy friends. They didn't give her the car keys because she had...

Speculation: Lt. Rader's suggestion of a potential witness may have been based on forensic evidence found near MH's body which indicated that someone who had been at the crime scene had been physically ill. Maybe they had a DNA sample to indicate that this person was not MH and not "Sketch." We...

AF refers to Anchorage Farm, a large, privately-owned, cattle farm, upon which MH's body was found in January 2010.

We don't know the number of perps. My own theory is that a group was to blame; however, the "single perp" theory is more popular. The evidence seems to point to a group: 1. the tee shirt found in the student neighborhood in C'ville; 2. Joe Rader Retired Lieutenant, Virginia State Police made a...

Goenka Vipassana is deliberately organized in such a manner that each of their facilities in their various locations is considered separate and independently-managed. If there were sufficient grounds however, GV could be possibly be prosecuted under the US Racketeering and Corrupt Organizations...

Maybe a private investigator could persuade a group of college student volunteers to help out; he could first create the appearance that they have important social, political or business connections, and send them into these 10-day sessions to observe. They wouldn't have to stay the whole 10...

http://www.anikolouli.gr/index.php?pathID=1_118_119_126_129&aid=2571 From the above link: We have two pieces of evidence that ZS did not have plans to deliberately disappear as of April 24, 2012: 1. the email to Ford Nepal requesting return of volunteering fees; 2. the email to his...

That ZS felt disappointed in Ford Nepal, the non-religious org that builds Buddhist monasteries in a predominantly non-Buddhist country, is perfectly understandable. http://fordnepal.org/Monastery_Construction Also, charging people money to volunteer isn't fair. However, since his career...

Re-post of the E-Kantipur article: Of course, sometimes reporters make errors on details, but did ST actually have a conversation with ZS on the 27th? The comment about "glacial pace" seems somewhat odd. Of course, maybe it's a reflection of some colloquial expression in Nepal.

The most common adjective that I have seen in connection to this case is "naive." When you hire someone for a job, you look at their employment history and references. If SS had arranged to meet up with people who had references, or stay in a place with references, she would have been much...

So you are saying that many Turkish women do cover their heads for religious reasons. What's acceptable to some people in a country is not necessarily acceptable to all. Her lodgings were in a dive on the back streets with bars over the windows. Among the criminal class, she might have been...

A fall or a push, maybe? The jewelry may have been buried because the perp saw it as unclean; that is, like a jealous wife might not want the jewelry of someone she saw as hateful.

Yes, I agree. The resentment could be a factor. The wife/gf theory may also work, too.

Maybe there were two bodies found in the area.

The clothes reflect her being "too trusting." She should have been suspicious that some foreign man might not understand, and therefore attempted to avoid (not seek) attention. Trying to get attention is to trust that everyone around you actually likes you.
