I’m thinking along the lines of Ellen Greenberg, Rebecca Zahau, and other cases where there has been an official ruling whether suicide or accidental that the public have differing opinions of. Cases as recent as Debbie Collier the poor lady whose cause of death was inhalation of superheated gases and thermal burns caused many to wonder whether she died of homicide, accidentally or suicide. There’s many more that there’s been an official finding of no foul play for where the discussion continues long afterwards because people interpret the evidence differently.Respectfully, I think the difference here is that most of the WS cases under discussion involve police declaring they suspect foul play, and the case being treated as a criminal investigation which invites us to put forth ideas and theories.
We had none of that here. Police/Investigators were firm from the beginning that the evidence pointed to NB being lost to the water.
While it is true the Coroner could not provide why or where NB entered the water, they had sufficient evidence to know NB manually turned up the volume on her phone at 9:18 AM, and at about 15 minutes later, she was nowhere to be seen, and her much-beloved pet left alone. And no third-party involvement in those unexplained 15 minutes was also explained. JMO
Personally I didn’t think there was enough to exclude all other possibilities, I’m not looking specifically for evidence to prove anything, I’m looking for the evidence that disproves each possibility to the point that the conclusion is accidental. But as I’ve said above I understand we don’t have all the evidence and have no right to it all so I’m just basing these thoughts off what we have heard. I just like to hear what others are thinking and listening to others opinions on the cases we discuss.
