IMO, LE is withholding certain information related to Libby's and Abby's case (e.g. COD) because they have determined the manner in which the girls were murdered to be very specific and unusual. If that's the case, LE wouldn't want to release that specific information to the public because those details might help in identifying the killer(s) as only the killer(s) would have that knowledge. If they are interviewing the perp, and he mentions a specific detail about the murder that was not released to the public, LE could investigate that person further. In Halee's case, I believe LE is releasing the COD because doing so is more likely to identify the killer than not releasing the COD. Does that make sense? Sometimes I'm horrible at communicating what I mean via online post. This is ALL JUST MY OPINION, by the way.

This is a great post! Exactly what I was thinking, but I couldn't put it into words. You did so perfectly!

Community members react after learning about Halee Rathgeber's death
"We were already kind of worried that something had happened to her, but when it actually came out while there was sadness I feel like most of us are angry more than anything, because why would anyone who has the demeanor she has be taken the way she was," Drew Minor said

Workers tell us she had only been with the company for about a year, but in that short time, they had all gotten so close to her.

"Her personality just in itself brought everyone into a better place," Service manager Matt Dickerson said. "She had by far one of the most beautiful smiles to every walk through this restaurant"
 
Thanks for your post and thanks to the original poster for the original question.

I seemed to quickly dismiss the original question only based on this thought, that an experienced forensic medical examiner/ coroner would immediately notice a bullet sound to the head.

My apologies in advance if my recent posts seemed odd with all the link requests. What I meant to ask without sounding bossy is ?font)

I totally respect your opinion and love reading your posts. We're all here for the same reason. I don't think any of your posts sounded bossy!

I believe that the initial quoted post (from Indy Anna) was stating that they believed the initial investigators (the first investigators who arrived on scene) did not notice the bullet wound which could very well be feasible depending on the position of her body and the pooling of blood in the body. This could be the case if a small caliber bullet was used and the body was placed with blood pooling in the same area as the bullet entrance wound. One may not notice that until the medical examiner arrives and does a more thorough examination or until the body gets to the Medical Examiners office for a more thorough exam and that may have been when they realized there was a bullet wound. All MO of course. Just throwing another point of view in the mix.

That's what I was thinking. The head injury from the bullet wound was such that it could have been interpreted by police as due to blunt force trauma. And, yes, it was stated that it when the coroner examined the body that the bullet wound was discovered.
 
There's a special place in hell waiting for whoever did this to poor Halee. This is such a damn shame. Prayers for her family and all the people who loved her. Terrible to see such a bright light extinguished.
 
Was she dating someone, had she recently broken up with someone, was one of her customers bothering her??? So many questions....

I asked the same thing about a boyfriend.

My 2 main focuses right now are a boyfriend and where is her darn car. I'm thinking LE must have it. It would be great to know if it was still at her place of employment, her home, her school, or abandoned somewhere.

Also, knowing about a boyfriend is crucial. I think it was my first question on the first page.

Maybe we'll get more info today...or not. :gaah:

In September 2016 she tweeted a couple of times about a boyfriend. There doesn't seem to be much before or after. If she went through a breakup, she may have deleted everything about the SO when it happened.

The last thing we know for sure is that she last retweeted a tweet that was sent at 8:30pm Sunday night. Since she retweeted it, it could have been any time after 8:30pm. On FB a friend said she spoke to her at 10 or 11pm, but that can't be verified (by us).

(Sorry for asking for all the links...I guess it's just hard when I'm on my phone, I think I meant to say please "reply with quote" so the specific references are right there.)
 
if you are shot In the head with a small caliber weapon, a lot of times the bullet does not exit and it may indeed look as if they were beaten about the head. sorry for any visual :(

Doubtful, moo. :moo:

The transcript on this page mentions an ex boyfriend by name. Not sure how long ago. And the video corresponding to the transcript is not loading for me..
