It's been a long time since I've been on this thread so need to refresh myaself on all the details again, but a question before I forget: Looking at these cases backwards, other than suicide, and other than foul play, can anyone provide any plausible scenarios as to how these could be accidents. Tia.
Hi, margarita!
Oh, yes. Just as an example, motor vehicle accidents are one of the leading causes of death each year, and we all know how to drive. Another good example may be an electrician that gets electrocuted. We are all always aware of the dangers surrounding our everyday lives, but can be guilty of having one second of poor judgment, or a lapse of attention, and sometimes that is all it takes.
Now, to be more specific to these cases: Yeonhee and Genevieve were travelling on the same path. I would consider the path safe, although somewhat isolated--it has a firm basin of solid rock beneath it. There are, however, parts of it that are very close to a dangerous body of water. Genevieve would have been especially aware of that fact, as she was from the area and had travelled the path even as a little girl. Yeonhee, perhaps not so aware.
This, imo, is what has to be acknowledged as giving law enforcement their "leg" to stand on--accidents do randomly happen, and Yeonhee and Genevieve were in an area where it could be justifiable.
With Shelby, as with the latest victim, we can't confirm how they ended up floating at Long Wharf. Shelby was last seen in the uptown area, and at the time was actually living within walking distance of it. She had spent some of her childhood being raised on the west side, and did have close relatives still living on the west side, including her young son.
Now, with the suicide theory--that can also conveniently fit. Yeonhee was new to the area and was one of the many millions of women in that age group with a prescription for anti-depressants. Shelby had recently lost her second child, and was seeking help to get her life together. Including Genevieve in a suicide theory is really, really a stretch; but it was put out there and only slightly retracted because it upset her family so much.
With our latest victim--I know without reading another publicized article about it--the "suicide" theory would be hard to dispute. A woman alone--that no-one even bothered to report missing? Oh, yeah. They would say that was suicide and promptly close the books. You can bet on it.
I will add this to support my personal theory--the serial killer scenario. These four victims were all petite women walking alone when last seen. (Okay, I can't be certain that the fourth victim was walking alone when last seen, but I would bet on it.)
The dates and intervals of their deaths fit. He (?) gave the six month intervals a rest, but that is most likely because the heat was on after he took Genevieve. This time, he (?) seems to have chosen with more care.
But even that all fits with a serial killer's modus operandi.
With the greatest respect and heartbreak for all four victims, I will mention that the evil I believe is behind these deaths, is interested only in violence against females. Age doesn't matter. When the urge within him (?) arises, he (?) searches for a female alone--a petite female, one easily overpowered. One that is in a secluded area, or at a time when there just aren't a lot of people up and about. He probably can't sleep until he is sated.
He (?) enjoys reading the press releases of his "suicides."
Of course, this comment is totally a "my opinion only" comment.
