And maybe adds to the question, was LR liquidating these assets in preparation for early retirement and to leave town ? Maybe she just got tired of it all. Tired of taking care of everyone. Tired of driving back and forth from one house to another. Tired of living in a trailer behind a metal fab. plant. Only saw her husband on weekends? Idk, but that doesn't sound like much of a marriage if you ask me, but that's jmo. So, maybe she thought she'd take her chances and did go to Mexico or somewhere else, though probably not alone imo. It certainly wouldn't be the first time some family member decides they've had enough and just disappears themselves. Unfortunately, doing it so secretly without informing her children, and fleeing in the middle of the night, if that's what she did, does make it appear there was some motivation that involved something illegal, such as the embezzling allegations.
As far as Mexico, I've read that a lot of Americans are going there to retire because one can live there very inexpensively. Lake Chapala comes to mind as an American retirement destination. They can live a very comfortable lifestyle with maids and gardeners, in a beautiful area with a great climate, on the same amount of money that in the States they would basically subsist on.
Of course, the question remains to be answered, again, if this is what happened, if she has cleaned out her bank accounts. Or, did the bulk of her money from the property sales, etc. even go into local banks or was it deposited in off shore accounts, or maybe in Mexican banks, if that's where she went ?
One thing nags at me constantly, why was her vehicle left there and they picked up her scent, no one else's. What was never clear to me is if they tracked her scent all the way back to the main road and that's where it ended?
Whatever the case, this is all nothing more than mere speculation, for which there is plenty of room, all because LE has remained so tight lipped, and now even the local press has become mute. I wonder if we'll ever get answers. :maddening: Regardless, something tells me that they know more than they're saying.
I agree, not much info at all. I still find it hard to believe that Linda would go off and leave not only her children, grandchildren and husband, but she left her mother! I need to keep reminding myself that not everyone feels a strong sense of loyalty to their family though. :deadhorse:
The Mexico scenario - many people's fantasy, do-able without outrageous funds, shame we aren't privy to the accounting results, that might help get things started in the right direction.
Possibly the press has become mute due to the incorrect reporting a few weeks ago. They may be a little hesitant to print without a stellar, provable source of information this time.
Like you said, I think LE knows more than their saying, I HOPE they do.
Linda, if you've flown the coop, please call your family and let them know you're ok. And, if you're in Mexico living your fantasy retirement, drink a margarita for me~
