This is a very difficult case in that the witnesses are family.
You cannot force dis closer unless there is a court proceeding, there is no proceeding unless there is an arrest and there is no arrest unless there is an accusation.
So the gating factor accusation. Who? one must look for a motive which leads to an act.
Motive
An issue I see, that is questionable and skews a motive, is the time of death for MS. It is slowly being changed and move back. MS death occurred before RN death not after. Here's why.
There is clinical death and brain death one can occur before the other but one is preemptive. Brain death is ir-reversal and limits recovery from a clinical death state.
The question is did RN know this before her conversation with her sister? and if so when and how was it conveyed. These are bit and pieces of the picture that can prove important in uncovering the mystery.
What if the hysterical 13 year old female who called 911- and didn't know the correct address- was
Rebecca's sister? How much worse that would have made everything for RN...
<respectfully snipped, Morag and Inobu>
Maxie seemed to be not breathing and no pulse when the 911 call was placed.
RN was doing CPR and had the 13 year old call. How long do you think it took the squad to actually arrive?
--Here's the question -- How long was Maxie there before someone found him???? Immediately, 2 minutes, 5 minutes?
--He may have immediately been declared brain dead upon arrival at Childrens. Therefore, the decision about organ donation may have been presented on Monday.....36 hours, is it long enough for someone to get really, really angry at RN? This may make the dog boarding more significant. I think she was told to board the dog.
--Which ever young girl that was there is being protected (and should be during the investigation). And if it was RN's sister, would that have made the 'anger' even more???
--and how angry was DS when she was finally reached and went to the hospital??? Anger at herself could very well have been directed at RN....
I still believe RN went through way too many steps and too many different articles (orange extension cord, rope, blue scarf, table.inside/outside..dark..you know the scenerio) to commit suicide.
