I agree with you on everything, except what I bolded. I don't disagree per se, only question it bc her Facebook (that her family was on) was entirely different than her Tumblr. Her Tumblr was way more graphic. Maybe she was exploring? Idk, don't care, might not even matter. However, the main reason I asked about her church and if her parents were pastors earlier is bc I had a very good great grand wonderful beautiful best friend that killed himself when we were 17 bc he was gay, his parents were very religious Baptists that wouldn't accept it bc they were taught it was a sin. He was told he'd be excommunicated as well as disowned. So he ended his life. His twin brother has never gotten over it. He is the reason I'll never ever judge orientation, race, creed, status...yada yada. Not all churches are like that, I know this, but it made me wonder when I read how religious her family & loved ones are.

I really hate to say this~but, deep in my heart, I have the same feeling and I can't handle it. :cry:
You read my mind. It does seem so much like the Natalie Holloway case.
I'm going to be blunt and hope this doesn't break the rules
Warning Discretion Advised!!!
90 + % of females that choose suicide hang themselves. Not to get anymore graphic of how and why it is just that. Extremely heart breaking when investigating.
And usually planned well and in a well known area in the woods where they have been several times before or inside their residences.
Jumping in the water it's very uncommon unless off a bridge.
According to all public information there is nothing indicating this.
However here is the catch 22. She did go boating what appeared often and in the same area if I read correctly from her twitter post. Which I believe she was very familiar with the local waterways.
Sexual identity issue ? What I got from reading her posts is it appeared she liked both genders but I didn't see any identity issues nor did she mind saying who or what turned her on.
Typical 20 + Y/O ?? I don't think so. IMO she appeared comfortable with expressing every detail in a how can I say , profound way ?
Her parents appear to be god loving church attending people. But on her SM it was like she is and was in a 20 YO rebellious living out in her own type way if that makes any sense.
And this is why some people judged her for that , this is why I believe she was very capable of handling her own.
Not to nitpick but I think that might be backwards. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11079640 Women are far more likely to use poisoning and other "nonviolent" methods as opposed to male-preferred methods like guns and hanging. It accounts for why more women attempt suicide but are prevented from completing it; overdosing isn't immediate and you're likely to be found by someone in the meantime.
Overall, suicide victims are found rather quickly after being reported missing. It's hard to hide yourself unless you're an avid outdoorsman, which I don't think anyone believes HE to be. JMO

I think that too much influence is being placed on HE social media, especially tumblr. tumblr is the new version of a diary. It is for anything that a person finds interesting/tittivating/shocking/whatever it does not mean Heather is gay. It doesn't mean she's not. She is young, in an age where young people fully believe that any bodily expression of love is beautiful, like the Hippies.
I know it may be a shock to her family, but her tumblr doesn't mean anything. Gosh, if I went missing my tumblr and other SM would suggest all kinds of things but in my RL it would be 99.9% my x was involved.
MOO I think she met up with an on/off boyfriend and something happened. OR she met up with her on/off boyfriend and his girlfriend and something happened. I wouldn't be surprised if she was found in the water somewhere close and it turned out to be a sad, pathetic, case of jealousy and immaturity. JMOO.
I'm not sure how familiar you are with song lyrics but, much of what appears on HE's Twitter are one or two lines of songs. If you copy some of the 'darker' ramblings and do a search ~ you will find the entire song. I made the mistake of thinking...Wow, that's deep thinking for a 20 year old...then, my son enlightened me. Nevertheless, I'm heart broken that after 15 days we still don't have answers.
I don't know. I personally witnessed a male take his life just a few yards from me.
Till the day I die I have always ask why how or what if.
No study or statistic will ever make sense of it.
Not too long ago we had a young girl take her life because of family issues.
It's so sad and yes all the signs were there before hand but most of the cases I've heard of and seen you'd never have expected it. Especially from the young girl.
What I didn't understand was her Bitstrip "her roommate eats her for breakfast every morning"
On the FB site it has been said over and over that this was all a joke and their was no relationship between the two other than friends.
I don't buy that ???
Also except for a few photos I haven't seen one post from her roommate or lover in any of her posts anywhere else.
This is pure speculation on my part but maybe she didn't want her family to know she was attracted to both sexes, and maybe also her roommate doesn't want her personal life out. Maybe they were in the closet? Maybe it was all a joke? Idk. IMVHO, too much of a fixation on lesbians for there to be zero truth to any of it at all. Words can't describe how bad I feel for Heather...for her entire family. So many questions & the saddest thing of all is that her orientation probably had nada to do with her disappearance.
I wish I had a list of names with whom Heather might have been romantically associated so I could run them and see if any of them have any history of violence, etc. LE is most certainly doing this, and the fact that we're not hearing that anybody has been officially cleared as a result is interesting. jmo
Charlie J. I responded to your post on page 40 of the old thread. Just some ideas. Any thoughts on when another search will be? Any idea if any major media outlets are picking up Heather's disappearance?
I hope Heather's dad will continue to stay in the media, that seems to be a major factor that tugs on everyones heart strings. I've heard Dawn Drexel has been helping the Elvis family, I dont know where she gets her strength.
