Just some musings on a Sunday while my household gets ready for a day of football:
I grew up in NC K-12 not far from JFD. As a child, those woods by her house were my woods. We used to call the area our
“magic kingdom”.
Sad for me to think that my “magic kingdom” will always be associated with evil now. Foremost though, I mourn for a life lost senselessly. I want this case solved and the monster(s)who committed this to be locked away.
There is a poster here ( sorry not to recall which one) who thinks JFD’s body will be found in those woods and part of me agrees.
A long time has passed since I played in those woods, but back then those woods were full of poison ivy. IMO FD spent a lot of time creeping thru those woods. He had plenty of time to prepare a burial spot.
IMO FD killed JFD. Narcissists in my experience can come to a boiling point very quickly when they perceive
“disrespect” and when they feel they are backed into a corner. To him I believe the final “disrespect” came that Wed night at Welles Lane, when he was not allowed into the house.
FD was running out of court filings to delay turning over info on his finances. Totally backed into a corner. Lots of rage boiling just below the surface. Narcissists always think they are the victim. He felt it was all JFD’s fault..
IMO there are no quick books/ organized accounting. Just FD spending money helter skelter. I believe he has a disorganized mind. His lifestyle of expensive restaurants, lots of travel, skiing – water and snow – all very expensive hobbies. Money went to the sister, the “admiral” and their daughters. IMO the sister has always been his most important relationship. Hence the name of the company. If you live a big lifestyle money does not last.
I think MT is a combination of a lot of things others have written. For sure, she is involved in the cover up. The rest I don’t know.
IMO it is tough to put a label on MT and paint her or most, with a broad brush. To me, most people are not black and white. IMO people that do bad things are rarely all bad. And people that do good things are rarely all good. IMO People are a lot more complex than that. FD is my exception here so far. He is bad. He is not capable of love, empathy or good intentions for anyone but himself.
All the events that we believe MT to be involved in, definitely point to a lack of good character/ lack of morals and ethics as well as very low emotional intelligence.
Why hasn’t MT come clean? If I try and put myself in her shoes( yes the five inch heels from Jimmy Chou ), I would say she has not come clean simply because it appears to be not in her best interest to say much, until all the charges are on the table.
Selfish strategy? IMO very hard to have an expectation otherwise. Very unattractive to me and all of us as posters
Not what any of us think we would do –
I expect none of use will ever find ourselves in this situation. I struggle if this were my loved one/child/friend,
to understand how I would advise her. IMO, if we are honest, I suppose none of us will ever truly know unless we are actually in that situation. Concept vs reality – sometimes two very different things IME.
The longer she can drag this out the longer she remains free (albeit stuck in CT). Seems she has chosen to roll the dice. She appears uninterested in doing the right thing and speaking up yet for JFD and JFD’s family etc –. Once all charges are in place /somewhere down the road, hopefully she will find it in her best interest to tell what she knows. I am not sure her lawyer
is advising her any differently.
IDK what will unfold. What I do know, is that more will be revealed and my opinions will remain fluid.
