IF suicide, the question I have - why did RN choose the back of the house. If she went so far to tie her feet, then why would you choose to perform suicide right outside the room of AS since he could possibly hear the noise and save you?
I was lying in bed last night - it was pitch black outside and cold. Trying to imagine RNs thoughts and actions if she committed suicide... First of all, I would choose something in my bedroom to tie my legs/arms -ex scarf, or go to garage for rope. I would never, never, never have even thought about using an extension cord. Strike 1. So, then I walk around the house and outside naked? Knowing that my boyfriends brother may be in the kitchen? Strike 2. And why choose the outside balcony - right outside the bedroom of AS. If 60 degrees out, he probably had the window wide open. Heck, my neighbors would hear me trying to lasso an electrical cord around the outside porch and move the metal table onto the noisy cement. After midnight on cool night with windows wide open. Strike 3.
So, was AS at the hospital, at bar, taking sleeper meds, drunk, blasting a fan, air tight windows ...or involved? IF so, did he have to find her early - before a maid or caretaker would arrive since his DNA would be found? Did he cover up for his brothers act of rage? (JS first wife had a restraining order following the divorce due to fear and 2nd wife DS called police for continued post divorce violence. He appears to have a bad temper. I suspect he holds his children very close, and not happy about sharing them with an ex. Definately someone who would be very upset if they are injured under your care). Most family members would be so upset, that they could not sleep. Expecially, at a strange home. And why was he in the guest home, rather than the house. Wouldn't RN want company and someone to talk to and set him up in the house, as all the kids gone? When people are going through a trauma, they usually want to talk to family/friends, can't sleep, can't eat, ready to run to hospital when they get the call....
I can see RN very upset, and unable to sleep. IF she was truley suicidal, why not ask the doctor for a sleeper and O.D.? Why choose the hanging naked route on a dark, cold night using electrical cord - much more painful vs. overdosing, falling asleep and never waking up. I ask myself, ...did she have a family member, friend, neighbor who committed suicide by using electrical cord? And why nude? Wouldnt she want to be modest for her grieving family. The only thing I can think of is that JS told her it was over, she was upset that he was with DS and maybe brother - while she was not allowed in ICU and most likely blamed. Consequently, she wanted to embarrass JS and opted to do a public hanging naked and staged it to look like possible murder to hurt him even more....
Either that, or it was murder by family member or hired hit. Since both JS and DS are in the healthcare field, they would have had easy access to drugs,... anesthetics, narcotics, etc. I am sure the LE is testing for obscure drugs that could have been admistered. Possibly an anesthetic that could cause paralysis, allowing someone to hang you. But, I just don't know... JS and DS would have experienced the most pain...so, wouldn't they have been at their dying sons bedside rather than at the mansion. Then, I think what about AS, hired hit or suicide. Just don't know enough information............it can go either way.
