This is neither here nor there, but I say again that Velling and the family probably now know exactly who FLEK was. The family probably doesn't want anyone to know the story.
This is one heck of a legacy to leave her little daughter. I have followed this case from the beginning and genuinely wanted to see it solved for the daughter's sake. Now she has to grow up without her mother even though Blake will probably/possibly get married again and she might have a stepmother.
Right now I am angry at FLEK. She shouldn't have had a baby if she was living a lie. It was unfair to Blake as well as the baby.
FLEK wasn't stupid. She had a college degree and knew exactly what she was doing and that it was wrong. She could have confided in Blake when she decided to marry him unless she had done something terribly wrong or bad. Even if she were a domestic abuse survivor, I do not understand why she wouldn't have confided in Blake at some point.
I just feel that once FLEK decided to take her own life she should have left Blake a letter explaining that she had been living under an assumed/stolen identity. As is stated at the beginning of this post, I think Velling knows exactly who she was now and has no intention of letting anyone outside the family know. The family very likely doesn't want anyone to know either, IMO.
I keep checking back here periodically to see if there is anything new. We will probably never know who FLEK was.
MOO
Regardless of how any of us feel emotionally about FLEK, she was a hustler to the end. Regardless of the reasons for her life of fraud, she was a hustler.
I connected her to three other women who married men with money and also had legal name changes plus aliases; one of whom had legal financial "issues". FLEK had her name change and married a man who came from money. FLEK didn't have to work once she married, but she chose to and she didn't choose a regular occupation, instead she chose an odd line of work where she used a P.O. Box.
She eventually hit a major road block in her hustle and that coupled with what seems like mental illness appears to have led her to an unfortunate end. Most hustlers simply move on to the next person to hustle once they get caught or when they sense that someone is on to them; her mental state, legal troubles, and separation from her husband seems to have prevented her from being able to do so.
I wish we could get an update from the detective and find out if and what they have learned since they brought this story to the media.
