I appreciate the perspectives and Zach's response. I realize that there was a gap in the time he spent with AJ and that much could have evolved in her life during that time frame. The OD observation was a fair one and I respect that he has chosen to back off from it because he doesnt know one way or the other.
We have had many many insiders in cases, certainly since I have been on the boards. They know they are free not to answer any question that they dont want to. Zach issued an invitation to ask questions, and if I read his posts correctly from last night, he was looking to talk about AJ's case initially. If questions are respectfully asked and he chooses to answer, that is how it should be imvho.
One of the challenges about this kind of a set up is that it is simply the written word-if the questions seem terse or blunt, it is a function of that I think. I dont know what has been mod snipped, but I hope everyone feels that their thoughts are welcome here as long as they are respectfully written.
I am catching up on the case and can see quite clearly that there are strong feelings regarding WH-I may come to that as well but at this moment the only things I know for sure are that AJ is gone too soon and that there was certainly at least one dark influence in her life.
