While I haven’t had a chance to read the entire investigation report yet; from reading WS posts, watching the investigators’ PC and reading a few MSM articles, I think one of, if not the most important piece of evidence, to date, is the witness report from Mrs. E.
Mrs. E. heard a horrific crash that she was able to describe in detail, and shortly afterward, heard a vehicle pull into her driveway and back-out in ‘presumably’ the opposite direction it had been originally headed. (IMHO, it would be reasonable to conclude a vehicle was turning around if it pulled into a driveway and backed-out.)
Mrs. E. may have had a window open in her bedroom which would enable her to hear the crash better than Mr. E. who was reportedly sleeping in another part of the home that may not have had open windows.
IMHO, Mrs. E. sounds like a credible witness. Upthread, IIRC, it was reported by at least one local that Mrs. E. is a doctor. And by someone who reportedly knows Mrs. E. personally that she is a “sharp” woman.
Further, LE Investigators acknowledged that the initiating factor in Gail’s Jeep going off the bluff was erased by the data recorder.
This leads me to believe there was, in fact, another vehicle involved in what caused Gail and her Jeep to go over the side of the SM bluff.
Who knows, the other driver may have been a young person speeding who swerved, clipped or rammed Gail’s jeep. The other driver could have been listening to loud music and not paying attention to their surroundings or talking/texting on their phone. Or the other driver could have had an outstanding warrant or been driving without a license, etc. I can imagine a young person panicking and running. (For that matter, it could have been someone of any age that panicked and ran.)
The other driver could have had nefarious intentions, as well. It could have been someone Gail knew who intentionally swerved their vehicle toward her or even deliberately clipped or rammed her Jeep or it could have been someone hired to do the same. And there is the possibility that a sharp-shooter with a scope (allowing them to be some distance from the crash site) and silencer shot a tire causing a blow-out and out-of-control Jeep or even shot Gail herself. (IIRC, the driver side window was shattered….obviously, that could have occurred during the Jeep’s uncontrolled decent down the mountain, too.)
Hmmmm….why was Gail’s seat belt retracted. Could she had stopped along the side of the road to answer or make a call and felt more comfortable with the belt off or needed to reach something in the back of the jeep? Anything is Possible!
All, IMHO.
