We shoot guns often.
We had new flooring installed recently and I listened to a nail gun for most of a day.
I'm not sure the two could be confused, perhaps an up close nail gun could sound like a muffled .22? Ill have to find the footage.
Poor MM, poor lil darlings.
MOO, fields of green grass, skies of blue and all that. Plus a few steamy piles that will hopefully be dealt with today.
I just did a search for "sound of a nail gun" on YT, and listened carefully to a couple different clips. While the initial blast has some similarity in sound to a gun blast, the resulting "reset" -(not sure of the right word to use)- prior to the next shot sounds very different to me.
Listening to the neighbors video with knowledge of what might have allegedly happened, is very chilling. Especially the pause between the fifth and sixth shot.
In rereading news articles/watching all the videos on this sad case, it would seem as if the husband was obsessively jealous and completely lost it. Some of the things he allegedly did leading up to Maya's disappearance are very disturbing.
The green eyed monster is real and destructive, and can be deadly as alleged in this case. As many of you have said correctly, one of the most dangerous times for a woman is when she is attempting to leave a volatile relationship. This seems to be true in Maya's case, at least from the armchair perspective, and without all the facts.
What I find somewhat unusual about May's case, is that unlike many abused women cases, May seemingly had a very strong support system with her family. She was not disenfranchised, and allegedly had been disclosing her marital problems to them. This isn't always the case. Many abused women live in secrecy/perceived shame, and stay silent....but people know. Sadly, domestic violence is a complex issue as many victims protect their abusers and won't accept help to escape safely.
In too many cases, the violence turns deadly, and it appears that is what happened to this beautiful and vivacious mother of three.
This is a tragedy at so many levels, as all the murder threads are. My prayers for this family continue with the hopes that there will be a peaceful arrest. I remain concerned for the children, who, IMO are at grave risk.
