Of all things to come out, this is the last thing I expected. A hired hit? Not sure I buy it, but time will tell.
I was leaning heavily towards SS being her killer - until the autopsy results came out. However, I still have little to no sympathy for SS. I think he's dangerous...maybe not enough to kill, but not someone whose bad side I would want to get on, seeing as how unstable and vicious he can be. It might and probably is a result of mental illness, but that doesn't mean he's just a poor widdle misunderstood lonely bunny. I'll save my sadness for Natalie.
I have been around the recovery community long enough to know that the vicious cycle of addiction can and does drive some to suicide. The saying "I don't know if I have another run in me, but I know I don't have another recovery in me." I've heard some say they'd rather put a bullet in their heads than go through it again, or those that prayed in the depths of addiction to not wake up alive, but I've never heard of anyone trying to get someone else to kill them. No matter the truth though, this is a sad sad story of a poor sweet lost soul. Fly high Natalie, your struggle is over.
