Both TT's parents had an autopsy along with CA.
What I was trying to point out doesn't have much to do with autopsy.
I meant like... if someone dies at 90 and autopsy is performed then the cause of death is usually deemed the exact thing that caused their passing. If no foul play or accident happened and it was something like a stroke or heart attack, or infection - then it's completely reasonable and logical to say that person died cause of old age.
Same with someone who dies at 60, while big majority of relatives also passed away around that age.
But for me it's odd to say that oh,
this person died at 60 due to old age, while all their relatives died at 85ish.
It's nothing really, just striked me as very inaccurate description.
One thing in TT's favor RA said he passed 3 lie detector tests (one was 20 years later).
There is nothing odd in his behaviour. He was participating in searches in the beginning, he cooperated with LE, accepted some public interviews in the past.
Many devoted husbands in similar situations did more, much more, some did less while they weren't involved in their wives disappearances. Others were directly responsible and for years were putting up an act of "searching". People are different.
To my knowledge DA didn't pass any lie detector (inconclusive) and she married into one of the leading lie detector families in Fort Worth within two months of the disappearance.
Two months? Wow, that's fast, especially considering that she was dating some random guy from Houston in December.
I can't say that I don't understand her thou. Long prior to that she was doing what she possibly could to get away and stay away from that household. I tend to believe that she had good reasons for that.
People who knew her tended to not be very flattering with their opinions, including her own family, and after reading through her posts here and some interviews I'm getting an impression of similar nature, she just seems dishonest and fake. She tends to describe things in a way that are setting all sorts of alarm bells with me, cause it doesn't appear
natural to me.
But even from as little as we know about their homelife, we know enough to know that there is no way that her teenage years were anything but hellish. All that while living in a city that appears to be as dangerous as most postapocalyptic worlds from movies. That affects personality, big time. Some people are "able" to live through similar stuff and turn out to be good and lovely, but they usually, in all that mess had someone or something to lean on and get some hope, support and guidance that way.
I don't know if she had that. She certainly, from the description doesn't appear to be the "good one" from the two sisters, rather the opposite. So I'd expect her to hear straight in her face, more than once, that she should be the one that went missing, not Rachel - cause that's exactly what people do.
Her surroundings and experiences certainly could create a personality that could get involved in heinous crime... as well as just unpleasant person with sketchy vibe and no criminal tendencies.
Sorry for rambling, I just needed to type what I thought out loud.
All that just waters down to "too hard to tell".
