Just caught up with this case - went through the MSM & timeline thread (big thanks to all who worked so hard on that, especially @oviedo and @Seattle1) as well as reading this latest thread from scratch. Phew!
A couple of things.
I too have felt the undercurrent in this thread mentioned by others earlier, and it has made me extremely uncomfortable. Whilst it is within TOS to speculate as to what may have come to pass that night - and DS’ attendant potential guilt or innocence - I am sure we can all agree on one thing here, and that is Savannah is indisputably a victim of crime(s). Please let us try to be mindful of that, and respectful in our posts.
(Also, if you see a TOS violation, report instead of responding: it saves mods work in clean up.)
I’ve seen some theories regarding accidental death/death from natural causes, and subsequent fear/panic on DS’s part leading to a cover up, concealing the body etc.
JMHO, I have tried in vain to reason this out, but it is just too much of a stretch for me. For me, if he is truly innocent of any culpability in her death, then I can’t understand why he wouldn’t report this to the authorities. Surely an autopsy would clear him of any wrongdoing - if not the initial assessment by responding paramedics? Concealment of a body seems like a mighty big risk in comparison. Perhaps I am being naive, but if I honestly try to put myself in that situation, and imagine how I would behave, then I think that if I awoke to find somebody unconscious/seemingly deceased on my property, I would trust LE to help me (and more importantly the unconscious party/decedent) over framing me for a crime. Overridingly, I think my first thoughts would be in conflict as to whether I should attempt the recovery position &/or resuscitation first, or whether I call an ambulance first (probably the latter while multi tasking with the former). I don’t think that disposal of the body of the (seemingly) deceased is something that would even cross my mind. Further, I am not a qualified medical professional, and so couldn’t be confident in my own assessment as to whether the person was truly deceased. I could not live with myself if I inadvertently caused the death of another by failing to act (ie by calling an ambulance).
O/T I also noticed a lot of critique re the Daily Mail earlier in this thread. I just wanted to reassure everyone that the Daily Mail isn’t generally considered a trusted news source over here either
- and (as a bit of light relief) is sometimes jokingly referred to as “The Daily Fail” (in reference to its many misquotes, questionable ‘facts’, frequent retractions etc).
@MarieWS I just wanted to send you my very best wishes and big hugs from over here in the UK. I cannot imagine the pain and anguish you and your family must be going through. I have so much respect for you advocating for Savannah here, some posts and MSM articles must make for exceptionally difficult reading. She seemed like a beautiful soul, and it breaks my heart to know that four young children have lost their mummy. My thoughts are with you all x

It was in the Garrard County Central Record today that Savannah’s case will be heard on September 4.
