Hard to put into words exactly, and trying to be mindful not to sleuth family. Thinking a few things here.
Wondering what went on at dinner and game night. Could an argument have taken place?
How many people dropped NG off that night, 1 or 2? Wondering if it’s proven that these people actually left at said time (or if they stayed until say, when Apple Watch stopped picking up pacemaker).
Smashed cameras sound like someone not only wanted to destroy evidence, but was enraged.
Not a victim of domestic violence directly, but having experienced it in a form, I wonder what the relationship was. Sometimes, when a person is living in a DV situation, those who are in their immediate inner circle, safety is threatened and used as leverage. For example, if you leave me, or discuss this, I’ll cause harm to your sister, mother, best friend ———-fill in the blank.
Also, some people who live in DV situations are embarrassed and feel shame and don’t tell their family about their situation. In many cases, immediate family members (like a sibling or a parent) might not even be aware of what goes on behind their family members closed doors.
I have not read anywhere that this is the case in this situation. Just putting my thoughts here for the sake of discussion.
Something that made me pause too, was why wait an hour to call the police once you noticed your loved one was missing? Trying not to judge. Trying to give benefit of the doubt here because people react differently under stress.
