Why were they telling her to shut up?
(✂️SNIP-SNIP✂️
Speculation on my part, but she knows much more (the truth about her man) than she is saying and is trying to cover HER tracks. I totally understand what you are thinking, but she has deleted a lot of her posts and changed stories so many times- that is why they want her to shut up. She's a liar, her posts aren't helping but hurting a family who deep down knows that Austin is not coming home alive, who is probably not going to be found anytime soon.
The one who's in jail is responsible, but as I said, he's a pro. He'll get away with this, too.
I get what youre saying and I understand everyones frustrations. I read page after page of comments & posts...and I saw that she started to take down & delete her posts only+immediately AFTER that 1st person advised her to (in all caps), shut her mouth and that she should not be posting on social media, and if she talked to her atty, then he would tell her the same thing..*groans*...
Yes!, I get it, and I understand the hurt/pain, and frustration (my cousin was missing+murdered), so yeah, I get it, but the one thing that can help them in the end is getting some sense of justice (it is not closure, you never get that, but it is something you can grab onto at least), and as you point out, not every family/one is able to get that justice in any form, be it failure to prosecute, not enough evidence, plea bargains, avoiding trials, or scum who commit suicide in jail, or their getting to walk away scot free, or whatever else the reason, Id imagine that would feel like a slap in the face and a further /2nd victimization... And, Im certain that his family and his friends see a ton of information, and endless opinions for/against everything that they would rather not see, and which cut them to the core regularly. Silencing one person, particularly a POI will not stop that happening in the slightest, because it will be in the media now and until the end of trials/prosecutions, and even long after that time, when living in a small community.
Which is why allowing that person to dig themselves deeper & deeper into a hole, is so Critically Important!
1st, Because, what He told Her (may be inadmissible due to spousal privilege, depending on that Judges decision, and/or deemed hearsay depending on that Judges decision);
2nd, What someone posts on the Internet on Social Media is accessible by LE, by subpoenas and generally accepted by the courts; HOWEVER, if that person deletes posts and/or deletes entire accts, then LE has to hope:
that they correctly identify which accounts belong to that individual (name spellings, etc),
and have to hope that they specify the beginning and end dates, so that the critical info hopefully falls within that date span
Along with LE having to hope that their subpoena is submitted, and processed before that Social Media Site purges their store files.
And hope that there were no clerical processing errors within the subpoena(s), which would likely not stop Social Media from complying, but would be grounds to have the collected vital information thrown out as inadmissible.
And, Regardless of what information is provided by the Social Media Site, it all still takes time to process, from weeks to months.
⬆️Thats an awful LOT of having to hope that LE has their ducks in order and no one makes any mistakes, and they get it all right, versus all of that key incriminating information+statements, being all right there open, available, easy, and visible for anyone to see at any time, and LE just having to printing out page after page from what is shown right their on their own a computer screen, over a matter of minutes or hours and having that information available...(even if they only used it for comparison versus the info/docs returned by the Social Media Site.)
3rd, If LE is able to see everything right there (or lucky enough to get everything right so that they can access or restore needed information from those accts, and with restoring acct dats it is much harder & more iffy), then LE can then use all that information against that person posting, for prosecution purposes, or as a basis for various legal charges, and possibly LE will be able to then force that persons hand (and/or their mouth) and get even more vital information, which LE NEEDS to make their prosecution stick, and/or to FIND Austin and bring him home!
So yeah, while I get the emotional side of things, it however, was not his family saying/responding or telling her to STFU, it was someone who has absolutely NO dog in this fight, and whose actions only served to hurt the prosecutions ability to effectively prosecute the criminals. Their actions did not Help the family one bit, their actions only further hurt them, which was my point.
Again, I get wanting to help & wanting to stick up for the family & Austin, but I promise, the family/Austins loved ones, would not be in the least bit thankful, if they later found out that because that person shut up & removed posts/data/accounts, it cost them the conviction at trial..*shrugs*..you never know..and, you cant ever know if no one is talking...what you absolutely can know is that people openly incriminating themselves in court admissible ways(aka on social media), can only help the family in the long run.

My apology to Everyone for the massively long post this time, but it wasnt something easily explained in a few short sentences, at least not by me.
