One other point I neglected to mention regarding the groceries. If this was a possible 'self-harm' situation, and there is no evidence at this time to support that, then the grocery store trip wouldn't make sense. Someone with the intent of harming themselves would be extremely unlikely to buy frozen groceries at a local store.
If we knew which store Grace was at, and the time, then LE could interview store employees to see if anyone remembers seeing or speaking with her, and whether she was alone at the time. Hopefully LE has already done that.
I do not necessarily agree - we had a somewhat local incident where a person stopped to purchase items at a convenience store on their way to end their life. They picked up a medication (likely used in their death) but also purchased food items (possibly as a diversion, possibly because they thought they might want food as comfort or distraction during the act). I think there are reasons to suspect something other than self-harm in this instance, but I think it is not uncommon for people contemplating end of life choices to pick up things they do not actually need on their final trip to a store.
