Why on earth can't LE do something? Sounds like Ashlee did not have legal custody but took Melodee anyway and was the last person M was seen with. And Ashlee is now refusing to cooperate? In what universe is none of this illegal / worthy of arrest

Both things can be true - it is a DV-associated homicide AND he loved her, grieved her loss, and had pet names for her. ' And it really doesn't matter if anyone else saw any evidence of stress or tension or DV in their relationship! Abusers are very good at hiding it. But EG was less so - she...

The idea that this was a suicide has never made sense. It was based on believing SG's assertion that EG was in the apartment alone and alive when he left for the gym, and that the door was locked from the inside when he returned. It is not based on any evidence, biomechanics, or physics, that's...

Could she have left extra early to hike part of that loop first, before heading south to her next guesthouse? If guesthouse to guesthouse was 17 km, that could take anywhere from 6-9 hours depending on trail difficulty. Maybe she'd figured out how long it would take her and thought she had time...

I wasn't implying someone killed her. Not sure how that would happen either - she would clearly struggle or fight if someone tried to stuff her head first into a rain barrel. Was just saying that she texted at 2 pm and then...what? Instantly went out and got herself stuck in a rain barrel and...

He shot four people and stole two cars, and was arrested instead of shot by LE. They found him walking naked through a neighborhood and Tased him to bring him into custody. He also has light skin. Wonder if he would have made it out alive if he was non-white. IMHO unlikely.

Agree with posters saying this scenario is hinky. Who reaches into a rain barrel with both arms to get something from the bottom of it? I don't think that's even possible. Has there been any report on what she was supposedly trying to retrieve? Because that sounds like pure speculation. She...

OK. Ms. Fleming was murdered Thursday Oct 5, 2023, which is during the school year. So this guy took time off work, hopped a couple of planes to Vermont or drove to Castleton VT from Oklahoma (which is a 23-hour drive with no stops), found a hiking trail, killed this woman with a firearm (which...

Not seeing a connection IMHO. More than 1,000 miles away, different weapon and it's an older woman who was by herself (i.e. she wasn't hiking with elementary-school-aged girls). Suspect had red hair. Sounds nothing like this guy.

OK, but he could have money saved to get him through the summer. And $2500/mo is $30K per year - a teacher with 6-7 years of experience is going to be making at least $50K (IMHO plus a little internet research). I'm not understanding the focus on his finances - was there somehow a financial...

BBM IMHO -- the narcissism part does.

My thought was: She was going to be sick. She opened the door to head for the bathroom and realized she wouldn't make it. Left the door open and went to hang herself over the balcony instead. Accidental fall. BUT - with the door open, her family would hear her if she fell, yes? Maybe her fall...

Not arguing with this sentence at all...but plenty of men get less prison time for rape.

Ah ok. My bad - I thought he was seen wearing it before Melina was found.

Wearing a Tyvek suit sounds like premeditated murder to me - not second degree.
