Oh Gail...
Thoughts and prayers with her children and loved ones right now...
I am just now seeing this... RIP, Gail. :rose:

It's interesting because there's a debate on the Chattanoogan website in which some people seem to think that guardrails on the mountain are unecessary. There are several letters to the editor making it sound more macho to live without guardrails.

On that part of East Brow Road there isn't a lot of places to turn around. She could have initially headed toward the W then remembered it was closed and tried to turn around and accidently back ed up to far...just a thought.
Wow. How ironic the name of Helton shows up ---and her house was the last one passed by Gail on the same side she went off. Just sayin'
"People drive very fast down the road. It's very easy to get comfortable with it if you live up here," said Diane Helton, who lives a few houses from the area where the Jeep left the road. "But when it's rainy or foggy, it can be scary. I can't see to the end of my driveway sometimes."

Also on her twitter account it say's she will be live from E Brow @ 5. It will be interesting to see if she interviewed the people about the rock.
I just can't understand why if you notice your 450 pound rock missing with tire tracks leading over the side of a cliff from where the rock was, why you don't report it to LE. What were they thinking happened? What did they think caused the tire tracks?

I saw that too, ThoughtFox...
Made me go, huh??
Because (please excuse sarcasm here) it's clearly more cost effective to put the resources we've just seen expended into a very significant and costly recovery effort... than it is to a rescue effort of a fender bender??
Then he didn't, and it was just a freak accident.
But long before this we had the fact that MP allowed his attorney to (a) say to the press that Gail was "f--d up" and to (b) have computers removed and wiped clean that should have been included in the home search. Those are puzzling actions. I assume MP sanctioned whatever his attorneys did and said.

He also said he spoke to a couple in Hoover, Ala., who said Ms. Palmgren "had a psychotic episode" while at their house a week before she disappeared.
Attorney Davis said Ms. Palmgren "showed up uninvited" and spent two nights with the family friends.
He said the husband, an attorney, told him, "Gail was flat f----- up. She was out of her mind."

When Hamilton County Sheriffs Office detectives entered the Signal Mountain home of a missing woman a couple of weeks ago, the familys computers were missing.
The computers instead had been turned over to Lee Davis, an attorney representing Matthew Palmgren, the husband of Gail Palmgren, the 44-year-old mother of two who has been missing since April 30.
Davis said in an interview Thursday that the computer hard drives have been sent to technicians to see if any files or history can be recovered that might lead to Gail Palmgren.
Weve sent them off to see whats on them, he said. Obviously, if files have been deleted, theyve been deleted.
:waitasec:
What fender bender? What am I missing here?
My mind is officially blown.
At what point do all these coincidences cease to be coincidences? I've never seen such an amazing storm of circumstance and coincidences all coming together like this. Never.
I have a really close friend whose significant other said almost that same exact thing during a custody battle. That she had "held him back." That she had "ruined his career." And that he saw her as a parasite, only the thing is - she was the parasite taking care of his children and his house. :furious: And in my friend's case, the ex did not get full custody and the Judge asked the kids what they wanted, and they chose Mom.
Talk is cheap, and sometimes meaningless. Whatever MP said doesn't make it true.
In our society, this happens all the time. So now that the body is found, people who support MP shouldn't take it as a time to gloat. Oh, no, my friends. This is not a time to gloat. Because as my own dear husband said to me yesterday, justice in some ways has happened because the truth came out in a most public way, and none of it was Gail's fault.
First, we don't know that Matt ever said this. ARLENE said it, and repeated it, almost like a script, on the news every chance she got. Just because Arlene said it, doesn't make it true either.
I also agree that this is no time to gloat. I want to have an investigation, a complete one, to prove that Matt didn't do anything to Gail. It wont really make a difference. There are those so set in their hatred and mistrust that they wouldn't believe it if God himself appeared and told us all that Matt was innocent. What those people think doesn't really matter... Matt's affair made things worse, it most assuredly upset Gail. BUT, there are many people (even many on this forum as evidenced by personal stories that have been shared) who have gone through divorce with cheating spouses and survived. The fact that Matt cheated doesn't mean he killed Gail. The fact that he hasn't spoken to the media doesn't mean he killed Gail. The fact that he hasn't done what people think (demand) that he should have done, doesn't mean he killed Gail.
I agree, cheating doesn't equal a murderer, but what about all of his other actions such as wiping his hard drive, and getting a lawyer etc. etc.? It seems to me that he threw up road blocks at every step of the way in the search for Gail.
Just my opinion.
Do we actually KNOW, from anything other than his word, what time she dropped the kids?
I keep coming back to the oddity of hearing the press conference before the body was even indentified as GP, of MP's lawyers making such a point of saying "We know that GP lost control of her vehicle at 12:25pm."
As for the suicide theory, I can almost see it, but the stop at the convenience store stumps me. Were there cameras at those stores? Would tape from months ago be erased already? I think knowing what Gail bought or her deameanor at the store would be a huge clue. Someone mentioned it could have been a potty break, but who takes a potty break OR a snack break before intentionally driving off a cliff?
So many things could give us clues, and LE is no doubt wise to hold some of this info close to their vest. I just hope they are being as closed to MP as he has been to them. They don't owe him one bit of information about the lady he had such anger and disdain for, that he was not even willing to help find.
Of course what I really wish is that Gail was alive and happily enjoying the holidays with her children.
Wow. How ironic the name of Helton shows up ---and her house was the last one passed by Gail on the same side she went off. Just sayin'
