MI MI - Adrienne Quintal, 47, called for help, foul play possible, Honor, Benzie Co., 17 Oct 2019

[0101ABA]

Last question about rules (I hope). Are we allowed to private message regarding social media?

Yes, PMs are “off the board” so to speak so any sleuthing that can’t be posted on threads is allowed to be communicated through PM’s.

 

[Bravo]

I just wanted to add Grace that's it's great you are asking questions. If your not sure about something ask as you have been. Folks are happy to help.

Bet the x husband put up the reward because it expires like the 10k did same date.

Other questions that come to mind for me are:

Jenny said in the Brainscratch interview Adrienne was fixing condo up to sell. Was the condo hers or BF's? Is BF in her condo now or does he live elsewhere? Who has rightful possession of things when someone is missing?

Did she have a 401K from her career? Who is the beneficiary of any retirement? Does someone have a Power of Attorney over her finances or assets? Who could benefit by using her things if she is not found?

What did the son think of the BF? (He lived with her until a month before, according to Jenny in Brainscratch interview.)

The other thing that I wonder is if she asked permission to take the tiles? Is there record they were actually going to take them and this was a legitimate reason for BF to go back? If I had a cabin and my family members took some supplies for themselves without asking, I would find that strange. Did the uncle get a call from her in the days before asking if she could have them or did anyone know they were using tiles for condo?

If she and Lundy adopted a dog together only 10 days earlier, why did they do this while away from home? How did they end up at Honor Shelter when going up there to work? Were there threats and having a dog made her feel better?

Did she not call the police because she had been threatened and didn't want to cry wolf unless she was sure but waited until it escalated too far and she couldn't do anything?

Did she give the wrong address to friend or did friend hear it wrong? Mail would not likely have the wrong address on it IMO.

Jenny also said in BrainScratch interview toward beginning that BF was "possessive and wanted to know where she was at all times". IMO, that does not add up to showing up 2 and a half days after disappearance.

And the ladder does not appear to be against the house in photos but Jenny says it was against the house in Brainscratch interview and that is one of the reasons she cited for thinking it was an abduction.

All just my own unanswered questions that hopefully LE has some answers to and just aren't saying.

Not sure how to edit this to add link for Brainscratch interview references, so adding as a reply here:

Okay, this is a thought: Even if there WERE men shooting at her, her behavior makes no sense. Panic would equal calling 911, using up every bullet. MOO. Also IMOO, she had to be not thinking right at all to "see" a cougar, and that's well before the "gun fight." I feel she was out of her head, took off on foot. MOO

 

[Bravo]

So may things reported I cant sort out. I pray she is alive and found very soon.

Yeah just so you know the edit button goes away after a certain amount of time—an hour maybe. You can only edit up to that time. Frustrating sometimes but you get used to it!

If you realize you posted something that really really needs to be removed after the edit period, report your post for a mod to delete it. But I wouldn’t worry about that Brainscratch link at this point. You’re doing great & people will love to help. I’m still learning too even after a year of posting and several of reading!

I had a "situation" happen once in the middle of the night where there was evidence of an intruder. (I also have a concealed license and know how to shoot.) I grabbed my gun and went to the place where I could have visibility on all points of entry as far away from the place where things were happening. I called the person I thought was most likely to answer multiple times before they answered and on the third attempt I had decided that if I didn't get an answer I would call someone else. After it was all over, I was asked why I didn't call 911 and I had no good answer. My objective wasn't to get someone to do anything. It was just to let someone know what was happening. IMO, Adrienne was likely to have been that kind of person who just handled things but also given the remoteness of the cabin, might have thought it would take too long to tell a stranger (911) something was happening before she had a full understanding of what was going on and by the time she realized it, it wasn't convenient to hang up and start over. IMO

IMO

Also, I even contemplated running outside (rural area) in the opposite direction of the potential intruder situation. It was extremely frightening to not know what was happening or about to happen and my decision making skills were influenced by the fear and the facts. The only reason I didn't run out was because I had other options and a place where I could stand far enough back and wait. I also was able to reach someone nearby to come much faster than police would have been able to. Had I heard noises closer to me or above me, I absolutely believe I would have run outside and not waited on help.

Missing Woman's Sister Says Family Raised Reward to $100K - 9 & 10 News

But that offer will go back down to $10,000 after Nov. 30, giving anyone with information eight days to come forward.

“So that if by chance someone is holding her, they don’t think that it’s just going to keep going up and up and up,” said [JB].

They’re also hoping hunters out in the woods can keep an eye out for anything suspicious.

“Even a small tip could lead to us finding out where she is. That’s what really we’re hoping for,” said [JB].

[...]

[JB] created the “Adrienne Quintal – Missing in northern Michigan’ Facebook page so people can show their support and share any information they may have.

I know! This case is so crazy!!! Every time I start to think one thing, we find out some new information that changes everything. If any of those shell casings outside turn out to be new enough to be from that night, then there WAS a shootout. Did she actually shoot a guy in the face? Crazy.

Was everyone in the shootout a bad shot? There was no blood found.

ETA:. I posted earlier today about drones. And now realized I need to read news reports more carefully... As drones have been used!

Yeah I know, no blood is puzzling if there really was a shoot out. I guess it’s possible the guy she shot in the face was inside a car so no blood outside. Or possible there was a shoot out, but she didn’t actually shoot anyone like she thought (her reflection). Or no one else was there and she was the only one shooting. The testing of the shell casings outside and the bullet found in the ceiling might tell us something.

The family should contact Texas Equusearch if they believe she might still be in the area of the cabin (i.e.: deceased in the woods). Tim Miller has extensive experience with water searches and I believe his group would know the best way to search any swampy areas too. They won't do a search without LE's consent but they usually do try to help if the family requests a search and LE okays it (they are not only for cases in Texas, they go everywhere).

Thank you. I shared this information with the family.
