The sales person has no name. Those arrested with Wint have not been named. I expressed my own strong feeling as well as my own interpretation of the last time a Mod posted about this issue. I feel several posts since that last advisory have not followed it, but perhaps the Mods want to make an exception for NG, though she did not lie TO LE and is not listed on CD or SW.
As well, unlike the anonymous salesperson and those arrested with Wint, she has lost a family she worked for for 20 years, as well as an employee and friend, Mrs. F., in the most horrible of ways.
Maybe the fact that she has made numerous statements to MSM makes her okay to discuss? The fact that LE stated there are others involved and they believe this was "an inside job" makes people who were in close contact with the family interesting to us. I hope that people close to the family and Mrs. F would not lurk in this forum. It would be painful to see all the theories put forward as we try to figure out what happened.
I'm also on a scuba diving forum. A woman disappeared on a dive in Mexico. I was diving in the same area on the same day, and the conditions were NOT appropriate for novice divers. We, the diving community, were deconstructing the events leading up to her disappearance, as this is a way to learn from others' mistakes. (The woman was off a cruise ship, on one of her first OW dives and her husband/diving buddy left her in distress to "tell the dive master" - big no-no.) The child/stepchild of the husband/wife found her way to the forum and was defending the dad's actions, even though she was thousands of miles away at the time. We were all so sad for the child, but the thread was a place for divers to share information, to try understand what went wrong and avoid repeating it.
IMO, none of us wants to vilify any of the individuals associated with this case, but given what LE has stated, it seems like
somebody who lost a family member, friend, fellow-employee, employer, former employer, etc., is
probably involved. That could turn out
not to be the case, just as the person named by LE as lying to them could be a red herring. I believe LE has someone(s) else in their sites, patiently gathering information before they name them a suspect and are forced to treat them differently in interrogations, etc. We have NO IDEA what SWs are still under seal or what evidence LE has accrued. I imagine the SWs that are leading somewhere are the very ones they would keep secret to avoid damaging the case they are carefully constructing. (That's the
only thing that makes me think JW isn't involved, although when I read about the Mosler registration, I felt a THUMP in my belly - gut instinct?)
Lastly, I think it is condescending to discount the information an individual has provided to MSM, just because he/she was not born in this country. NG has lived here longer than DW and is by all accounts a successful, sophisticated business woman. She knew how to set up a crowd funding campaign, for instance. That's not something everyone knows how to do. Having accented english is not an indicator of lower intelligence. Yes, we can all make mistakes when not speaking in our native tongue, but grammatical errors should not be confused with giving different answers to the same questions. Since NG has chosen to speak to 20/20 and PEOPLE magazine, in addition to the local news immediately following the tragedy (when the fog of shock would make honest mistakes more likely), I think her statements ought to be open for interpretation and discussion.
If we're really trying to figure out what happened, we need to be able to consider all the possibilities. Otherwise we risk getting tunnel vision, only retaining information that supports our theories and discounting that which doesn't. That is a good way to railroad a suspect/POI and miss the true perpetrator(s). We don't value that behavior in real detectives and I don't think it's a good trait for us amateur sleuths, either.
