Apart from that one apparent emotional breakdown at work, has there been any other evidence regarding Maura’s mental health/emotional state before she went missing? I know that episode is often quoted as indicating she was suicidal, but apart from that and the ambiguous comment from Fred about Maura being found “drunk and naked up there [in the mountains]”, is there any other evidence she wanted to harm herself? Any statements from friends, etc?
According to AFSP, 90% of all suicides have a diagnosable mental illness* at the time of death. Obviously, that indicates 10% do not – but is there any evidence that Maura was mentally ill?
I guess pathological lying would come under ‘mental illness’, but we only have clear evidence of one outright lie – the death in the family email, which I’m not sure would count as pathological.
Thanks in advance guys.
