The name of the missing brother is Christopher Forbes, Robin is the sister, please make that change! Thank you!!!
That is what I think, I mean, if a person dies from an OD, you leave her in the street, or even drop her body at the ER. You don't spend time and energy to hide and bury a body.
This really worries me, so many young women have "disappeared" in Birmingham. Do they have a serial killer there?
It has been sort of hit and miss over the last 20 years, but it seems like this area has a higher rate of missing and found dead young women, than would be normal for a city that size.
It really has been and it's also endeared us to Paighton even more - along with them.
Walker County Alabama Missing and unsolved MurdersOh that scary. Do you have a list at all?
What are they looking for in a microscopic exam if you know? And what’s weighing the organs about?
Thanks for sharing your expertise!Organs such as heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, etc are removed and weighed. Enlarged organs can determine diseases. Once the organ is weighed - thin slices are obtained and sealed in paraffin. Then the tissue slices are examined under the microscope to further delineate diseases that are not seen on the gross examination. Gross examination is done first and is merely looking and seeing what’s readily identifiable. For example...heart disease or lung disease can be readily seen on gross examination. The cause of the disease can be further delineated with the microscopic examination.
Does this help you understand more clearly @gitana1?
I was thinking either she hasn’t been dead that long or the temperature preserved the body. Either way it’s a good thing that the body is preserved enough to get accurate information from it. Hopefully enough to solve the case.Maybe she had not been dead the whole time since 12/21.
Thanks for sharing your expertise!
In your opinion, would an autopsy completed after 2 wks, show signs of strangulation or asphyxiation?
Amateur here but the presence of a broken hyoid bone can indicate strangulation.
Others will chime with more I'm sure![]()

Paighton Laine Houston - View Obituary & Service Information
Paighton’s obituary is up. May she Rest In Peace.
This is my best speculation, too. I learned something on Dr. Phil, of all shows, that is a good tip for everyone to know, even drug dealers.
If I am not mistaken, I think that Dr. Phil said that anyone can ask a pharmacist for NARCAN. You don't need a prescription. You can just ask for it. So, if you saw someone overdosed on the side of the road, you could potentially save a person's life.
Just think. If PH had overdosed and they did have NARCAN on hand, they could have potentially saved her life.
Here’s a fairly simple explanation of toxicology studies. Also states what specimens are collected for certain types of death.

Those can also be characteristics that can be applied to all who suffer from an addiction. It's a lifelong battle and each day holds some uncertainty to it. From my own experiences with family that has dealt with addiction, a relapse does not mean that treatment didn't work or that the person lost their willpower to live.
That being said, it's still too early for me to theorize what happened. I do think it's weird that they didn't release a clothing description of the men she allegedly left with
