Hello to each and everyone!
I have been doing a bit of brainstorming, and here are some questions/issues I feel were never adressed here...or anywhere else for that matter.
1 - A poster here once suggested that RJD might have tried to pass herself as a man, and then would have been "punished" for that by her acquointances. But what IF she actually happened to be a lesbian, for instance? And NO, this remark is NOT homophobic, let alone meant as some kind of "insult" to her memory. I am a lesbian myself, and have been out of the closet for well over 35 years now (I'm close to 63), so I am NOT a self-hating gay woman, thank you very much! But I cannot help but wondering WHY this possibility was never seriously considered or seemingly had never occured to anyone.
2 - IF she was indeed a lesbian, the frightening possibility emerges that maybe, as she came out, her family decided to punish her for her "sin". It is also possible that yes, a bunch of homophobic inbred rednecks decided to make her "pay" for "that". It could also be that, IF that was the case, the way she dressed, walked, talked or whatever, made people BELIEVE she was gay, and thus some sadistic sociopaths decided to exact "righteous revenge" against her because being perceived as "sick", "abnormal", "a dangerous pervert", "deviant" or worse still even a "pedophile", etc.
3 - I also wonder WHY it is that so many people seem to consider that the clothes she was wearing when found were NOT hers. Many woman, whether they are heterosexual or not, just love to dress in men's clothes. So what gives?
4 - Another thing that struck me when I studied the morgue photo was that she SEEMED to have very large shoulders. Of course, that could be simply an illusion due to her shoulders being incredibly swollen as the result of the horrific beatings she's been subjected to. I was pondering this for often, women who happen to have such huge shoulders are the athletic kind, especially swimmers. If so, I consider this as another precious clue which could also help to identify her.
5 - I've read and re-read all the posts pertaining to RJD, and I confess I am confused. For instance...Had her face been beaten or not, and if so, to what extent? For I read on The Doe Network, The Charley Project, etc, that she was recognizable. Well...IF she was, it means that she was NOT battered about the face beyond recognition, so her facial features were reasonably intact, correct? So, IF the morgue photo was photoshopped, as some suggested, do we at least know FOR SURE which parts were, if any?
6 - To this very day, I remain reasonably sure that she was tortured to death in some remote location or secluded area. An isolated house, for instance, or even a truck or a van where a "torture chamber" was made by the perpetrator(s).
7 - Finally, it appears to me that most, if not all posters seem to believe that a man (or several men) are mostly responsible for her gruesome demise. But personally, I do NOT exclude the possibility (remember the Sylvia Liken's or Theresa Knorr's cases?) that a woman (or several women) did that to her. Yes, it is said that she was sexually assaulted, but there are MANY ways to sexually assault someone without having to be a man to do so. As much as sickening and repulsive this possibility is to me, I have no other choice than to envision it, alas!
Thank you in advance for your replies, and have a great day (it's almost 7:00 AM here)!
P.S. : Edited because I forgot to mention a few things.
