First time poster in this thread so I apologise for how long my post is going to be. After watching the Disappeared episode back in May I read all the comments in here only to get sidetracked with life, then upon having some spare time again I re-watched Tammy's episode this morning after having re-read all your posts here. After watching the episode the first time and not knowing about this case I immediately had a feeling that something wasn't right with PK's story and when a few things started not adding up for me my skeptical-metre really started going off.
A few posters have been a little contradictory in saying that there was no way Tammy would of run off and left her kids behind etc, yet they are comfortable with their theory that suicide was her choice. I really hope I don't offend anyone or come off as showing a lack of compassion to anyone but IMO suicide is the same outcome - so if she is capable of one she is capable of the other. It has the same affect on her children, family and friends, except if she had taken her own life then she has deliberately done so to conceal her body which is rather severe. However, it's not my belief that either of these options has happened in this case.
If she had left the house to commit suicide a few things just do not make sense for me:
- She felt so sick she had to be picked up from work and couldn't even drive home, then instead of sleeping it off in bed she decides now is going to be the time to end it all and gets up and walks out of the house and walks so far away her body has not been found. What was the method of suicide? Sorry to be morbid but if she was say, going to hang herself then was any implement missing from the house which she could of used? Again, sorry for the morbidity, but if that was what she had done that would of been the easiest way she would of been found. I recall reading on this thread PK still has her pills in a locked medicine cabinet so I'm assuming the pills weren't all missing? Was any alcohol missing? Did they own or have access that day to firearms? I'm assuming if they did that all firearms they owned are accounted for, so that kind of rules that method out. Any other sharp object (knife, razor, etc) missing from the house? I just don't buy this theory. She leaves that note with an intention for suicide - why? To buy time? I believe it works more in favour of another person.
I'm genuinely interested to hear the opinions of people who think suicide was TK's fate as to how they think she took her life?
So moving on...I initially did suspect there could of been some kind of poisoning scenario going on for who knows how long, until someone pointed out that TK would most likely know and realise what was happening to her body given she was a nurse. I can't really speculate on whether TK would think something was going on or not. On the Disappeared episode one of TK's sisters said that she had woken up the past four nights needing to change her clothes because of excessive sweating. Going back to the poisoning theory one that comes to mind is arsenic poisoning as that can cause excessive sweating - although it would also likely cause other symptoms such as diarrhea, stomach cramps, vomiting, to name a few - which TK has not been mentioned to have had. Her doctors appointment the following Monday also raises my suspicions on the possibility of poisoning. I'm sure if she was being poisoned then her poisoner (if that's a word) knew they had to act now before she went to the doctors with the possibility of the truth unraveling.
I also do not buy she left with some mystery man she was having an affair with. The affair she had had (I'm assuming it was a more serious affair than the other man she was texting) does anyone know if it has been established if it was just talking/flirting or if it ever became intimate? The older gentleman affair had ended due to his suicide so the other man in question I'm sure would of been thoroughly investigated and checked out about his whereabouts on the day TK vanished. The police have also insisted the text messages to the men she was texting are not related to her disappearance so that tells me that it checks out and they possibly have more evidence than they are revealing to the public about why they are not suspects. What the police HAVEN'T said is PK is not related to her disappearance. I also highly agree with the person who posted that a cheating spouse does NOT leave their unlocked phone just laying around.
I really wish I had more information and clarity on what the kids think they actually saw that day, whether they physically saw their mum in bed or if they were told she was so their mind has now physically put her in bed, reverting to other memories of when they have seen their mum in bed. Would also love to know if when dad came home from their outing of running errands if he made sure he got to the bedroom first (to possibly remove the stuffing he'd made to look like someone was sleeping there).
Would love to know what she was wearing or what clothes and/or shoes were missing from the home. I think a lady with the same hair on a motorbike in pajamas would stand out.
I would be willing to entertain the possibilities that PK isn't involved in any capacity if there wasn't so much of 'something is really off' about him and this situation. I suppose it probably doesn't help my opinion that in Australia there's been two recent cases of women who've disappeared only to be found deceased after telling their husbands they were going for a walk. Seems to be a common cover up story over here.
One thing that really clarifies things for me is PK's radio interview. Not one nice word. Not one positive thing to say about his wife of almost 20 years and the mother of his three children who he supposedly has no idea where she is. Instead he was so focused on her depression, her bad relationship with her daughter (can't actually believe he went there and beyond) and oh how his story has flip flopped! You don't have to remember the truth. BIG RED FLAGS for me. I feel there's too many subtle and subliminal messages in what PK has said, has NOT said, his body language and behaviour that leads to one conclusion only for me.
I truly do get the whole 35-40 year old depression thing with your life not being exactly where you had pictured it and financial difficulties but you know what else I also get - people who see an easy way out of a marriage that would be highly non beneficial to them had they divorced. Also an anger/upset/embarrassment when they know that their spouse has had affairs.
The fact that PK has surveillance footage and receipts from where he was when he was running errands makes zero difference - OF COURSE he made sure he was out and about and spotted in several places during the time he's wanting people to believe TK has disappeared from the house!
It always surprises me given that we are all working with practically the same information yet there's so many vastly varied thoughts on what happened. I really have appreciated reading everyone's different thoughts and questioning whether is seems plausible to me.
I also just want to add that I'm super impressed with a certain few sleuthers on this thread who are clearly very dedicated to finding out what happened and have kept this thread alive!
