BBM Unless the message began totally differently -- a much shorter original message --then the author changed the message's intent, maybe even twice.
To me, if one were to isolate the "CAN" from the rest, it would be very difficult to read it as "CAN". It's a total mess, with no cross bar on the "A". The "S" in "SHE" looks dabbed on rather than brushed. The cross bar in the "H" in "SHE" is doubled, maybe even tripled, as if the person began writing something totally different (looks almost like the beginning of a "C"). It invades the down stroke in the "E". The rest of the message seemingly flows with the same type of brush stroke and determination IMO.
It would certainly help if there were a straight-on view rather than slanted so that the inner letters could be analyzed as well.
Forget my still-unfinished gardening, Rebecca's case is far more important. I've been meaning to post my thoughts on the message for some time but just haven't gotten around to it:
As of this moment, because it might of course also change in the future, I can only interpret the message on the door in one of four ways:
1. SUICIDE MESSAGE WRITTEN IN THIRD-PERSON
A very distraught Rebecca, likely shaking as I might if I'm about to commit suicide, writes the entire contents of the message in the third person. I'm going to leave the whys and why-nots to the rest of you because if this is in fact the correct interpretation,
then we'll truly never know why she may have written the message; and I refuse to speculate as to what a now dead person who cannot speak for herself might've been feeling and thinking at the time. It's just not fair. It's also for me way too painful.
2. SUICIDE MESSAGE TAMPERED WITH
A very distraught Rebecca, likely shaking as I might if I'm about to commit suicide, writes the words
I SAVED HIM, YOU SAVE HER. The words in this scenario line up as others have pointed out before. Also notice how the
I is well-centered before being followed by a long pause between
I and
SAVED HIM,
which in my opinion is not only very interesting but also chilling if you read it out loud and pause accordingly, as if you were writing it. This last piece apparently has never been discussed as far as I can tell. What
YOU SAVE HER might've pertained to or not I'm not going to waste your time with because it's also already been discussed at length.
This interpretation, however, is only possible if the remaining letter/words were added by someone else later as you keenly observe again, although perhaps not in the same manner I interpret it. Could this be why LE was so reluctant to disclose the content at first? Didn't they even go through all the trouble of Photoshopping the message out of the one and only photo of it they released? Could LE have allowed someone into the home,near the suicide scene, for whatever seemingly valid reason, only to later find that it was tampered with? And then had no choice but to cover it up to save his/her job? We probably all think we know who the tamperer might've been, if that's what happened. But, if that was the case, what would the crime be if proven? Maybe AZLawyer can help us with this?
3. INTERROGATION ATTEMPT TURNS TO MURDER
The perp wrote the entire message, in the beginning being very careful to disguise his/her handwriting by going to great lengths to distort the first letter
S, only to gradually and inadvertently revert back to how he/she might normally hand print (or might've hand printed at some point in time in their life) the letter
S as he/she adds the second one, and then the third one. I can easily see me inadvertently reverting back to my hand printing too under such circumstances.
4. MURDER
The aforementioned interpretation still applies, only that the perp might've chosen the message not to taunt JS, but to point the finger at DS. I fear this possibility. I also don't have any reason whatsoever to believe that it might be true, because
I do believe that Jonah loved Rebecca and wouldn't have done anything to harm her based on everything I've read these past few weeks of in-depth research/review. In fact, Interpretation #3 is not even possible unless JS tried to speak up for Rebecca in regards to Maxie's fall and that's what the perp was reacting to when the message was written. That leads me to conclude that this interpretation must be wrong. The Zahau family
likely agrees because JS was left out of their lawsuit.
CONCLUSION
Sadly, quite sadly, for both Rebecca's Family as well as myself in regards to my Father's death, for the moment I have to fence-sit on whether the evidence in fact points to suicide or homicide. We simply don't have nearly enough evidence/information available to us to even discuss it intelligently, let alone arrive at a conclusion one way or the other. And we might never ever have if her Family settles and agrees to it being sealed forever.
Thus, all we can do is question, and question, and question. And of course also pray that all of our collective questioning eventually leads to answers, even if it is not those we seek. This last possibility alone, that I might not be happy with the answers either if and when they come, is as disturbing and painful to me as the also very real possibility that we may never know.
What a tragedy, for both families. I sincerely feel and pray for both of them.
