Actually, hitting your nose can cause black eyes. I know this because I'm gifted and talented that way, unfortunately.
Can't dispute a first hand account.

My question about the theory that LS never made it back to 5N is if she didn't then how does JR know about her facial injuries?
OK. Looks like you may have a point.
Nobody said it was a good idea and it really doesn't matter overall.... If the story is true that is what happened and she walked out the door by herself.
Her condition at that point is a matter of conjecture.
If the story is not true then why it hasn't fallen apart and been impeached by this point is something I can't figure out.
My point was that the idea that he just said, "later," and let her walk alone in that condition seems suspect to me since it's not really a normal thing to do in most circles. It's possible that that's exactly what happened, but it seems unlikely to me.
as far as Lauren mistaking an ipod for a phone, I have tried to answer my television remote control when the phone was ringing... in a perfectly sober state...
I'm not sure why I felt the need to share that!
I am a long time lurker, checking this thread daily but I have not joined/posted until today as I did not feel I had anything to contribute. Thank you to all of you. "regulars" who do post and keep this discussion alive!
However, I finally have something to say. I just can't shake the feeling that it is what is NOT being said that is most important. WHY did the JRNTT author feel threatened, and by whom? Who didn't want Lauren to be found?? What happened to Tony Gatto?? Both people were doing important work, I thought -- and both were passionate about their work so what (or WHO) made it end?
I can't shake that thought- and I don't understand why we are not exploring that subject more. Did both of them get too close to something?
Maybe they did, or maybe I am reaching ... I don't know.
And what happened to sweet_blush/Dorothea? She seemed to have a lot of information (some rumors, yes, but either way I found her insight refreshing at times). Anyone know why she was banned?
Thanks for hearing me out. --- and it feels good to finally post something!!!!
Another question, since I don't know enough about how attorneys work and what would and wouldn't be likely for one to do but it seems like there are enough people posting here that seem to know so, my question is: given that the POI's retained counsel very early on, if one of them told their atty that not knowing about LS's medical issues that they panicked and thought she OD'd (i dont really think this is what happened but it could have) so they hid her body, how likely would it be that an Atty would convince (or try to) his client to reveal the location while it was still possible to find out if she died of "natural" causes, thereby lessening their responsibility in her death? Would an Atty attempt to do that? If so, doesn't it seem likely one of the 5N boys would go that route? If not for the sake of principle but to possibly save their own *advertiser censored*? I don't know, it just seems like one would?

To play devil's advocate (Even though I totally agree with you), it was true that both of those blogs, particularly JRNTT, were FRIGHTENINGLY detailed about every single possible facet of JR's life and family - his dad's family business, grandparent's health, childhood habits..EVERYTHING. What powerful, means-filled family (as JR's was), WOULDN'T do everything in their power to shut down the public flow of such detailed and private information, even if he was totally innocent? In all likelihood the family paid big bucks to a hacker to have it shut down, or had a lawyer/IT guy contact the blogger and find some clause that would rule it illegal and an infringement of privacy to post such things.

As far as JRNTT and whether threats were made against her...it's totally possible, yes, but you might also want to read other blogs the author has written and consider how/if her mental state allows her to understand reality (just google JR Needs to Talk and you'll find another blog by her, her name, etc). I grew very fond of the author as I followed JRNTT but I think she may have some issues with paranoia. I don't say this to criticize her at all. I've read some other blogs by her that have since been deleted and her writing definitely made me question her state of mental health.
