OK good day for it obviously I am not privy to the LE info or medical info that would convince me so I can say......I am not sure the remains found are those of Mariam.
I wrote a post of 20 reasons why but deleted it for now probably will just leave it at this unless anyone else has anything.
Quoting myself and at the risk of sounding like a lunatic (no doubt not for the first time) and keeping it vague for obvious reasons:
1. Necropolis handy just on the other side of the bridge lots of skeletons.
2. DNA comes back super fast just over a week.
3. Don't have post number but Toronto papers run strange articles about people going missing/being found day before Mariam discovered by 'hikers".
4. The hikers never get interviewed it is surely interesting that they found her given the thousands of people that would have traipsed through there in the two years and a bit previous. Why is that not part of the story.
5. Someone involved in recovery of remains (not LE) involved in mysterious controversial gov. case involving DNA - can't say more.
6. Someone involved in backpack find starts bus. in 2009 one of its offers is to do DNA testing of employees. (So I am not suggesting LE corruption but something manufactured beyond that.)
7. Some of the clothes FIRST mentioned in media when remains found don't seem to match Mariam's though I am sure no doubt some of it did. But kidnappers would have her clothes and in fact to some extent her DNA.
8. All the creepy elements of her disappearance, backpack location, patently absurd suicide theory, fact she wasn't found we've been through all that of course.
9. The following is a feeling and I have no absolute proof but sense that the investigation is being managed from above including some, obviously not all media reports. I am thinking especially of the W5 show that was changed after remains found with suicide expert added and Sandy Rinaldo apparently it seems to me upset at what she was hearing. That shows it seems was pulled from online not sure about now.
10. Sorry but I do think someone is keeping an eye on things for example at the golf course and at Yonge Eg. I have no idea why nothing makes sense to me. it certainly doesn't fit a suicide.
For the above to be possible and make sense for sure we would have to be missing lots of info about her family most probably her Dad - possibly (I am not accusing just an idea) that he somehow got involved in something just as likely in US as in Georgia. Maybe even unwittingly just in over his head.
11. Again staying vague is there a "Pussy Riot" element to the case? I have never met Mariam's family and know little about family names in Georgia, their frequency. But e.g. there was an interesting post in early thread where in Georgian media someone with Mariam's Dad's name was mentioned in movement or retreat during the war don't quite remember - and someone with his name was listed as part of a pol. party in Georgia though it that seemed benign enough. So internecine Georgian or Russian.
Not sure how common her Mom's name is but as I have mentioned there is a bridge in Tblisi named after poet with that name (two major poets at least with that name both with tragic histories one a suicide from a Soviet pseudo mental hospital *advertiser censored* prison see Wiki link earlier post one who brilliantly answered when asked who is collaborators were "Pushkin and Lermontov" something wonderful like that.
There is this Wiki article about a failed hijacking one of the hijackers killed Gia Tabidze I STRESS I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE THAT HE IS EVEN DISTANTLY RELATED but my point is......there can't be more than 5 non-Georgian Georgia experts in the West so who they heck knows what could have happened.
Aeroflot Flight 6833 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As crazy as this seems it is less crazy to me than what we are told happened or likely happened.
Something that would fit the whole thing IMO would be a Pussy Riot element (so to speak) and some direction from gov to LE to lay off it - for reasons unknown.
(Yes I was reading some suspense/mysteries over the holiday but just Simenon very weak if enjoyable stuff!)
Just so it doesn't seem I am being too hard on the Russians with little proof (I am mostly a Russophile) there is also the link of Claremont College where VM taught to Soros Res Republica etc. (and here we are really going through the looking glass so knows where that would lead).
