Here are my thoughts, sorry if some have been discussed already, I've read a lot of stuff so far and haven't seen much of this discussed.
Perhaps no-one (from her past) is or was looking for her because she either...
- Was one of those people who move around a lot and only make contact every few years or more so no-one thinks anything is wrong. She may have contacted friends/family right up to her death, who knows? (I know someone like this) an abusive past could cause this
- or her family really is dead or in prison
- perhaps her family knows she disappeared and why and aren't looking for her for that reason? Also they may not know her assumed identity for safety reasons
- maybe she was one of those kids who just stayed in the background and no-one really noticed, again an abusive past could cause this behaviour
- She is estranged from her family and they aren't looking for her cause they don't care about her
So in other words, she was never "missing" until she died and people may still not know that she is dead/missing.
Also the tea thing has me interested. Did she meet someone from her past there? In other words was the whole tea thing a front for meeting someone? Was she going there to create a story to cover up something else she was doing/someone she was meeting elsewhere? Gettting photos to prove she was there? Perhaps this person lead to her committing suicide? Did she visit a pay phone and call home/friends from her past on those tea outtings? I'd like to think that would have been investigated already.
The family tree thing is also of interest, but mainly cause I think she was doing it for her daughter, knowing that she would never reveal who she really was to her daughter. Researching the Ruff side would at least provide the daughter with some sense of personal history.
No-one seems to mention the trash bags of shredded documents. What was in the shredded documents. What had she emptied out of the strongbox and shredded? If it were my wife that had done that I would be trying to piece them together (I have the kind of patience and insanity to actually do that!)
Laciner is found in anagram form in her name Lori Erica Kennedy
I'm not sure she was older than she said (at least not much older). When I was 20 people thought I was in my thirties, now I am in thirties people think I am in my 40's or 50's. Sux to be me but my point is that perhaps she was someone like me who just looked older?
I haven't seen any references as to where she got the gun to kill herself either. Have I missed that?
I'm guessing the parachuting certificate was included in case she enjoyed that sort of thing before assuming her new identity. Maybe it is part of the puzzle or maybe it is just something she did once for kicks? I'm guessing it was just for kicks.
Someone has to recognise her from before she became Becky. She had a boob job so possibly she had other plastic surgery too. Which could explain why no-one is recognising her from the photos? Move somewhere for a while and get surgery and then disappear. If you haven't made any friends etc who will miss you? But where did she get the money for the boob job and everything else?
I'm really looking forward to finding out who she really is, cause then we may have to figure out why she did it.
