I apologise for posting the link to the bystander with only hearsay info. However, as was mentioned we all just want info/results. This is very personal to me, having an adopted daughter that I discovered was being abused by someone close. But as soon as I discovered this I did something about it. As a mother, NOTHING would have stood in the way from protecting my daughter of any sort and that is what I am struggling with in all of this.
I applaud you on your quick action for your daughter angiebubs. That is how it should always be.
I am wary of AD's apparent response to all this as well. I'm concerned that she's going to play the victim card herself, claim abuse from a controlling husband and throw all of the blame DD's way. I find it very hard to believe that she was controlled or abused in any way. From what we've been able to deduce, it appears that the Rubimoon business was in AD's name. She started that business and got it up and running as a wholesale business when she was still happily married to DC whom she called "the love of her life" on her first website for the company. After her marriage to DD and their move to Belize, she was able to freely continue to travel by herself, to Bali and Florida on behalf of the business several times a year, leaving her children in the care of DD. She was also able to travel to Germany by herself to visit family, go to Mexico for cosmetic procedures and I believe Florida for her own medical problems. Not something that an abused or controlled woman would be doing IMO.
In Belize, she worked at the store from noon until 6pm, not a very long work day. She spent "family" time relaxing on the beach in the mornings or doing her exercises according to her. She spent a lot of time on facebook and online in general promoting her business. None of the children went to school with any regularity or worked in the store. None of them appear to have any online presence. Not sure what they did with their time. We've seen evidence of one month long family "vacation" to Mexico that involved the children in the 5 years that they had been living in Belize.
DD supposedly worked for a transit type business and lost his job as a result of these charges. Not sure if that was a full time or part time job or how long he had it although it's been noted in trip advisor reviews that he was also in the store a lot. The main income for the family seems to have been provided by AD's business and her child support from DC. She was the one controlling all aspects of the business, not DD. There was nothing tying her to DD financially, if anything it was the other way around. Even now she has managed to post her bail but he cannot. These are not the actions of an abused or controlled woman. This is a strong woman who is totally in control of herself and her life IMO. If she had any inkling that her new husband was treating any of her children in an inappropriate or abusive way, there was nothing tying her to him. She could have thrown him out or closed up her shop and gotten on a plane to the US with those children and left him in Belize to make his own way. She was strong enough to leave the first husband for him so she was strong enough to leave him too if she thought she had reason to. There appears to be nothing to show that she was a dedicated and loving mother who put her children first before anything. Everything I've seen shows a pretty self absorbed woman to me.
While none of us have any idea what really happened to Faye Lin, well cared for children do not normally die at the age of 13 for no apparent reason. And AD supposedly claimed that Faye Lin had been ill for 3 weeks. She got herself to a doctor just fine when she had symptoms, why not Faye Lin? It appears as though none of the children have ever been to a doctor in Belize. Not sure if they ever went to one in Hawaii either. I believe they also did not go to school there. It appears they were isolated for most of their lives. These are not the actions of a concerned and loving parent whose primary concern is her children.
So whatever happened to Faye Lin, IMO at the very least, both AD and DD should be charged with neglect and cruelty. I don't think we're ever going to find out the truth about what injuries she actually sustained, or at least be fully comfortable with the coroner's report that is being presented in court, even if the prosecution claims that her injuries, according to the report, "read like a horror script". The main injuries which resulted from severe chest compression could very well have been a poor attempt at CPR either by the parents or the police. And if we can't trust the coroner's report, those injuries may have been sustained after Faye Lin was already deceased. I'd love to see an actual copy of that report as well as the original police report. I must say it appears that anyone who seems to have lived, lives in, knows someone who lives or has lived in or has visited the country themselves seem to have very little confidence in any of the government services or the educational level of anyone employed in them. I suppose we should consider that warning when discussing these cases.
Since Faye Lin is American, has anyone read that the FBI, who seem to be a fixture in the country due to the drug running into the US, have helped out with the investigation or forensics in this case like they did in the Francesca M and Drew D murder case?
MOO
Thanks for checking on that.
