:thumb: Bless you for your courage.

:twocents: Just a statistic: 30% of women hint at suicide sometime in life, but only one in twenty of those actually carry it out fatally. It just reflects a problem. There's a dramatic gender difference. Men are only 1/3 as likely ever to hint at suicide as women, but...

:help: Frankly i'm apprehensive that the allegation of possible suicide might carry a grain of truth to it. I agree with Songline's arguments, but for a different 18-year explanation presented before and don't want to start another argument. I'm also thinking accordingly that JC might then...

:sick: Mabe you're right. I keep hearing crime reports out of Contra Costa county suggtesting it may be the worst hole in the state. Maybe we could say "other side of the tracks".

:waitasec: An acre of urban land in East Bay must be worth something in 5 figures, no?

:doh: LOL that PO still hadn't figured out there was a backyard yet.

:cold: Her lawyer said how distraught NG was; it seems to me her imminent arrest would have caused her to clam up emotionally. Quite the complement to PG's attitude. :bigstick: From her color profile, NG may have been quite caustic in berating PG for risking their secret --- "throwing her...

:praying: I'm thankful that our justice system prevails over a lynch mob.

:dance: Agreed. Hard to postulate any rationale, when PG was just irrational.

:dance: Agreed. Incredible that PG was so out of touch with people --- anybody --- that he didn't recognize the trap.

:waitasec: Patricia Garrido Franzen's quote was an act of deceit. Off-hand i can't come up with a timely escape plan that wouldn't blow the cover on her secret, as she had the house to hide at. Intelligent thought though.

:thumb:You said it --- PG and NG used drugs: that's what drained cash flow away from housing. The reason for the backyard compound to begin with was secrecy, because there were visitors to the main house at times. :smiliecup: a little checkerboard logic here: the children were never to the...

:beagle: We ran a foster home for teenagers under the sponsorship of an inner city Church --- 12 of them from 9 different broken homes. Most of the broken homes included some parent-figure hostilities with whom were beyond any reconciliation --- most often a step-father, step-mother, or...
