In everything posted by Shadow, I can't find anything that mentions an attorney for her! Was she going to court representing herself? She mentions attending court a few times, so I don't think she left to avoid court. It seems for at least a year, or more she's been dealing with the accusations, arrests, courts, etc. It wasn't 'new' to her. She's 25, and a prolific poster on various social media venues. I see stress, the starting to color in the adult coloring books for relaxation, reading more books, getting out and enjoying nature, etc. Healthy ways of dealing with an increase in stress. So far I've read nothing about doc appts, or psych appts, only about the charges, a boyfriend very infrequently mentioned as if she's protecting him, photo of her roller blading, again, nothing blaring obvious as a mental illness, or unhealthy way of dealing with life.
She even mentions the arrests, that her mug shots have been shared, her wishes for an honorable discharge...so she isn't hiding, the bad, and only reporting the good. IMO. She's posting as she sees things happening.
She was house sitting, and then vanished. Very unusual for anyone that takes on the responsibility of someone else's pets, and home to just leave with no notice at all. VERY unusual. People that I know that do pet and house sitting are reliable. It's a job they enjoy, and it's extra income, for little work. In this case, it also allowed a place for Shadow to go off base and be away from the drama and stress.
I'm not surprised to not see much from people on the base. Social media IS monitored by the military. I'm surprised someone hadn't told Shadow to make her stuff private, but she wasn't revealing anything against military policies that I've seen. (My Brother does monitoring of Social Media as one aspect of his career.) I'm not even surprised that it appears from her postings she isn't getting the support from her command officer. Unfortunately, just like in civilian life, who reports first usually gets the benefit of being supported. Gaslighting DOES happen.
If her husband could potential lose his military position, salary, or be discharged, he is going to fight that. Just as Shadow needs to fight those charges against her. She's accused, but not found guilty. If she was experience something psychiatric, I feel her commanding officer, or others in the unit would have reported that and had her in treatment before discharging if the issue was something that would affect her career. Even counseling to get through this should have been offered, but I'm seeing nothing to indicate she was talking to anyone.
I'm worried for Shadow. I don't know if she missing due to foul play, and if foul whether it's someone she knew, or a complete stranger. I don't think she left on her own, as in hiding, though the possibility of anyone missing under this much stress committing suicide is worth considering.
