Found Deceased MI - Adrienne Quintal, 47, called for help, foul play possible, Honor, Benzie Co., 17 Oct 2019 #2

I think her sister said in an interview that she had more ammo at the cabin.

Yes, Jenny did say that. She said she didn’t understand why Adrienne didn’t stay inside where the ammo was.

Could she have partially asphyxiated with the space heater?

You'd think they would have tested it. I would bet that cabin was pretty drafty and had fresh air moving but if it was burning badly it doesn't take long for carbon monoxide to build up.

But the dog was okay.

I read this thread daily but haven't posted because I feel like we are going around in circles due to limited information from LE. It's frustrating to not have any updates and, seemingly, little or no progress in the case. Adrienne has been missing for two months. Her family and friends deserve answers to her whereabouts. Praying that Ada is found soon.

I think Adrienne's family and friends have a good idea and answers of what happened to her. They do not seem to be going full force trying to find her. Use the collected funds to hire a private investigator? Haven't heard from the son. No more reward money? There are facts to this case that the family knows that they are not sharing.

If the space heater is electric that wouldn’t be a problem, just if it’s gas or propane. But someone mentioned the dog wasn’t harmed. Good thought though GizzardMan.

There was a reward offered by the family weeks ago. The family has been very active trying to find her, the sister being the most prominent. This happens in most situations like this, where one family member is just more comfortable dealing with the media, so the take that role. I wouldn't think anything about the son not being on TV every day.

Lets also remember that the media decides who and what you see. If a missing person is a cute little girl or a bubbly and beautiful college student, they get nightly coverage. Ada is pushing 50, unemployed, and dating a biker, she is simply not newsworthy and will probably not be mentioned on CNN or any of the other news agencies.

If Ada had been overcome by carbon monoxide or suffered another type of health crisis, I think she would have been found in or near the cabin.

Adrienne was not receiving workers comp. After the injury and surgeries in 2015, she was released to work. She then had a (great) job for a short time-not long enough to be eligible for any benefits. But, she’s always been resourceful and never really required much. Whether she lived in Warren or Bloomfield. If she had $10 and someone needed $9.50, it was theirs. It’s never been a concern for her that she was left with only 50 cents. I’ll say it again, she’s extremely intelligent, sometimes to a fault. One seemingly simple idea can turn into a multi-faceted engineering feat that can have others shaking their heads at the extended complexity of the final plan/idea.

@cabff - Can you expand on this? What do you mean by simple idea that has others shaking their heads with extended complexity of the final plan? Wondering if you think it is possible she staged this?

I think what cabff was lying is that although trying to escape through the window with an unloaded gun might seem like a bad plan, Ada may have had an ulterior motive that we don't understand. I get that, we just don't know everything. Lets say the men outside were threatening to douse the house with gasoline and light a match? In this scenario, getting to the roof might be the smartest thing to do. That said, that scenario could have been used as a ploy to get her to quickly vacate the cabin.

Outdoor lights (front porch and garage) are on timers and always on from 5:00-10:00PM. Will light indoor holiday candles for Ada, as well.

I took that to mean Adrienne could take a simple seed and multiply it into a full blown farm field. In other words, if someone suggested a design concept, she took it further and built the machines and the factory. MOO.

Yep, damned autocorrect!

This is the point that causes me to rethink this whole case. She is alone in the cabin, two men outside. There are no shots fired in to the cabin, and no apparent attempts at forced entry. Yet she does not reload! Instead she heads to the roof and abandons her safe refuge. Why didn't she reload and call 911? She appears to have done the exact opposite of what any sane person would have done.

After taking a break from this case for a few days, I am now wondering if she just wandered off in a state of deluded and paranoid.

I have read that when adults are in the “fight or flight” mode, their mental reasoning is that of an 8 yr old child. This may explain why she wasn’t thinking clearly or as we feel a “sane” person would.

Wow. At least she’s been found and the family has some answers. RIP Ada. I have to wonder what happened to her. She was highly skilled in hunting and firearms. I don’t get it.

Rest in gentle peace, Adrienne !
I am sorry that you didn't get to live out your life !

Hoping for answers for the families' sake.
And justice if foul play is suspected.
