I started thinking, and sorry if this has been brought up before, about something different. I am not committed to this idea, but it just occurred to me since reading a news article about remains found, especially since it was restated in those articles that the police did not suspect foul play. I wondered if maybe they thought she was suicidal. They could have evidence that points in that direction. These things can be hidden very well from a lot of people; a lot of times it appears to happen suddenly and without warning to a lot of people.
One thing that hit me was the neighbor who said she was driving with a purpose, or something along those lines.
I hope the remains found are not AJ, and still hope that maybe she is alive out there somewhere. Still sucks, though, because if they are not hers they are still someone else's (and she would still be missing).
I hope this post is not offensive to anyone; I know it is a sensitive thing to discuss, and like I said I am not fully committed to the idea. I was just trying to figure out why the police would not suspect foul play (of course, they could just be saying that to protect what they know and because they have not named any POIs or suspects yet) but consider her endangered. That would be an explanation for why.
And of course, there are a lot of other things we know that do not necessarily fit it with a suicide, but just a thought that I had that I figured I might as well share.
I know there are family members who come here and read, so I would like to apologize if what I am saying is upsetting; I have had to deal with suicide before and it is horrifying and difficult to even consider, so please take what I say with a grain of salt. This is all just a little bit of speculation, and we will not know what has happened until she is found...
