Poor little girl never stood a chance.

I'm guessing he didn't own a firearm. An "incised" wound is longer than it is deep, a "stab" wound is deeper than it is long. So, he slit his throat is *what it sounds like. MOO.

ETA: added the word *what

What other proof is there besides the clue in the trash can that could have been easily planted and a suicide that sounds more like a murder?

Also a soup ladle to dig with?? That would take forever. This whole case is weird (again, I'm not saying I don't believe what has been shared, it's just very odd)

Thanks everyone for answering my question. I guess maybe, especially if they're still trying to pinpoint motive and movements. Maybe so they can learn from it. I just thought it was weird bc LE doesn't usually like to leave cases open when they've been solved.

In the PC they said DNA linked the two.

CT's death was way too easy and the coward's way out. IMO

I believe this is the better option than a long trial with gruesome details.

 

[SpanishInquisition]

Yup, that’s exactly how I think it went down.

His last minutes would have been filled with panic and pain.

Karma. Good.

To me it seems like a version of suicide by cop, except he pulled the trigger on himself. He had at least temporarily gotten away with it successfully passing the LE interview and search the day before then after that he set it up for LE to find evidence against him, which once LE found the breadcrumbs that he left he then killed himself. Maybe that strange ending is why the case is still open as they're not entirely sure what to make of it and not wanting to close the case too soon.

Conspiracy theories...not helpful. I’m signing off this thread now.

RIP Faye may you rest in peace with the angels!

 

[StarryStarryNight]

It’s scary to think the killer is still living in that neighborhood.
A person that wants to commit suicide would not stab themselves!

CT would have had to kill Faye then take her body to the woods then go back home and plant one piece of evidence in his trash can and then stab himself.
Crazy that anyone would believe that,
Scary that the killer is still roaming free.

I’m not going to debate this. You can believe what you want. But I will point out, it’s obvious LE knows more than they are saying and there are many many ways to kill yourself. If you are in a panic and you’ve don’t have a gun and you don’t have a bottle of pills to swallow, you just might pick up a kitchen knife and cut your throat. It’s not a crazy thought.

CT's method of suicide is quite interesting.
Suicides occurring from cut throat injuries are rarely reported in the medical literature but they do occur. Taking one's life in such a violent matter can be correlated to a strong self hatred for oneself. He could have easily just took a bunch of pills and then hung himself.

 

[Ray_of_hope]

Okay I have a question and I'm hoping someone here has experience to answer it either through their own work or another case...

The coroner said she wouldn't discuss some things because it's still an ongoing case. But Snellgrove said that they believe Coty was the sole abductor and perp.

Why would the case still be ongoing if the believe he was the only suspect and that he committed suicide? Am I missing something?

I wonder if they're investigating whether the perp had more interactions with young children.

DNA evidence on her body.

 

[Meloni88]

Curious how many suicides are done by cutting their throat? I feel like it's not a ton compared to other ways. Seems slow and painful. Not to say he didn't commit suicide, maybe a knife is all that he had at the time

Cutting your carotid artery would kill you fairly quickly. And you would lose consciousness even faster (it supplies blood to the brain.)

Dna doesn't lie.

 

[SpanishInquisition]

So sad. She was still alive when thy started to look for her. So very scary! RIP in little Miss Faye

We don't actually know that. They can only give an approximate range.

I don't believe this was ever his plan. I believe this a spur of the moment decision. MOO

You state this wild speculation as fact. The fact though is they have DNA evidence that links Coty and Faye. Sorry to be graphic but probably his DNA in places it shouldn’t be.

Nobody set that up. Yes cutting your own throat is very unusual because it is horrific but he was in an absolute panic because he was Yes cutting your own throat is very unusual because it is horrific but he was in an absolute panic because he was watching them close in on him

Police investigation and forensic evidence.
