I am a Navy wife in VA. We had a Navy wife found dead back in Sept '10 while her husband was on deployment out at sea. They flew him home immediately from the ship to figure out what was going on. Turns out a fellow sailor that was a neighbor, that lived above her murdered her. It was really, really erie and a lot of Navy wives were VERY worried. She did live alone with no kids, just a dog and her family lived I think 5 states away, but she talked to her family everyday.
As far as myself, there can be months that goes by before I get to see my parents, in laws, brother, etc. But I do try to call my mom everyday. I have other Navy wives I talk to via text OR facebook to make sure they're okay, safe, need anything, etc.
Saying that, I DO know a couple of wives who don't really talk to their family at all. They just have strange relationships and just keep everything to theirselves. I have a friend who talks to her family maybe every month and a half.
I can't see how she didnt have friends in the area she talked to? Checked on her? Went out to lunch with or something? That doesn't make sense?
As far as her husband..I am sure they have questioned him. The military takes this stuff very seriously.
Good points, cmlegend99! I wonder though, was she more of a college student than a military wife or vice versa? I definitely realize that there is generally a relationship between military wives, especially when husbands are deployed, but was she a part of this circle? Or was she more involved and active with her college life than being a wife to a deployed husband? Or even a mother for that matter? Where did her priorities lie?
