yea, she said she was ochlophobic. I guess she put that aside for today?!?

I have a friend who couldn't even go to the grocery store... but was able to sing at her father's funeral.
They had a stage set up and she sang behind the curtains.
It's very possible they set it up so that the mother didn't have to see the crowds.
Or, perhaps she was medicated, or simply used some coping techniques to get through it.

my cousin is the same way. Never leaves the house, except to go to the doctor. Even then, she sits in the corner of the waiting room, and never looks up. That has to be hard.

I have suffered with an anxiety for a very long time (Agoraphobia and Panic Disorder) speaking from personal experience when faced with something very important, Fathers death, Mothers Stroke (I found her) and many other things, you just do it, you cope. You go into automatic mode and often suffer the affects much later when things have settled down. Then it hits you hard. I really feel for LG and I honestly hope she is medicated.

Bless her heart.

What a beautiful quilt.

It's the quilt her mum made. There is a picture of it on Laura's profile posted many months back

Not that I've seen merc. Earlier I posted a link to a video where a reporter quoted the ME and said that she wasn't shot, stabbed, or strangled. But, that's the only reference I've seen attributed to ME stating anything about what the COD wasn't so far... HTH.

I would assume it's still on the table. What I'm finding re: autopsy indicates that there would be no specific clinical findings.

However, this article states otherwise:

"If suffocation or smothering has taken place then the eyes of the deceased will be bloodshot; this is a common way of accurately determining that one of these methods has been employed."

Saginaw Police Canvas Neighborhoods in Slaying of 6-Year-Old

Police in Saginaw are setting up roadblocks in two neighborhoods in hopes of finding information about the killing of a 6-year-old girl whose body was found wrapped in tarp.

Anyone with information is asked to call 682-888-3682 or 682-888-3684.

At :45 in the video

With no arrests and no apparent suspects, police say it's the next logical step in their investigation.

Re the condom.

I am assuming it was used as I see no reason to take an unused one.

I think it would be in reference to residual fluids?

After all, L E took lots of items, but they did not take everything they found or the house would be stripped bare

 

[floridamomma]

Yes, she did go to school......

"Alanna was a kindergartner at Willow Creek Elementary School in the Eagle Mountain-Saginaw district. Her funeral is set for Thursday at Calvary Lutheran Church in Richland Hills."

Absolutely breaks my heart. When my sister died, my mom stayed at the funeral home with her body finishing knitting a blanket for her. That's a vision I will never get out of my head.

There would be many very specific findings upon autopsy in a person who died of asphyxia.

they can be washed & reused a few times. :-/

I would say the chances of her body accidentally falling from a truck with a tightly closed tailgate is about 0%. On the other hand - I, and a few other people I know, have fallen from the bed of a truck when the tailgate was open and the driver took off too quickly from a dead stop. I've also known people who have fallen out a car door when it wasn't latched tight and the car made a left turn. All of them I know were in the front passenger seat, so none went out on a right turn (and none when going straight ahead), but I can't see her landing where she appears to have if she fell out from a right turn anyway. MOO

Just jumping off your post, cuz I had an idea...

We are all assuming... (As I am)... That AG fell from, or was placed by, a driver(s) of a vehicle...

could it be that the perp(s) had her in the "found" condition (in bags/in tarp/etc. )somewhere in the vicinity.... And was hiding behind fences, vegetation, walls, etc...

Then waited until an opportune time came, when there was no one out on the street, to run out to the intersection.... Place AG... Then run on foot to the prior location...

and took off in a vehicle... Or just be lying in wait at a surrounding location?

Just trying to think outside the box... And maybe jar some new ideas...

JMO

 

[IHAVENOCLUE]

What if the perp was making a U-turn?

Aha!

new idea!

I can attest to this.

Re the COD, my guess is they have made a tentative determination, just not an official one just yet.

@wfaachannel8: As @rlopezwfaa reported, Alanna Gallagher went to church each Sunday. Only upbeat hymns were sung at her funeral: http://t.co/XwgWbc44XJ

Honestly, since the door was opened on her phobia,that was discovered from her social site I do not understand why my post was deleted and no one else's was.
