Troubled country singer Mindy McCready, RIP

[redheadedgal]

“It would have been more of a case where she just didn’t want to leave the dog alone.”

but she had no problem leaving her children alone with no mother? (and in the baby's case, no father too)


the above quote could imply her dog meant more to her than her sons...

:waitasec:

Her children had been taken from her.
She had just gotten custody of the oldest one in December I think. That was a long battle with her mother.
I think she knew she would never get custody of them again.
I think that was her main reason for feeling so hopeless.

Again, I don't think she was thinking rationally.

That quote implies nothing IMO.

It is a friends opinion.
Mindy didn't say it.

She had the dog. Alone. In the house. Just the 2 of them.

Sheriff: Singer Was NEVER Suspect In BF's Death

Mindy McCready was never even remotely suspected of foul play in her boyfriend's death ... despite reports to the contrary -- so says Cleburne County Sheriff Marty Moss.

McCready said the wound was self-inflicted, but new reports say her story to cops was full of holes ... that she changed her story several times and she was in the crosshairs of the investigation.

Sheriff Marty Moss tells us, that's just not true -- "Mindy never changed her story."

Ross says Mindy was never considered a suspect or even a person of interest in David's death.

 

[Blondie in Spokane]

"Now TMZ reports that the singer -- whose troubled relationship with drugs made her an immediate media speculation -- was never a suspect in Wilson's death. Cleburne County Sheriff Marty Moss told the website that "Mindy never changed her story" and that any reports claiming that the country star was involved in some way were false."

I think she's referring to Mindy's answers when being questioned by LE in her boyfriend's death.
Seems a couple answers changed.

I'm not sure how official that info is. But it's out there.

Quoting myself. Tacky I know.

Seems it wasn't official at all!

An "unnamed" source told the Enquirer that her story had changed.

Two problems....
1) unnamed source
2) Enquirer

But now we have heard it from the horses mouth.
Her story never changed.

Electronics sent to crime lab in McCready's death

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Authorities say they've sent electronic devices to Arkansas' state Crime Laboratory as they search for clues in country music singer Mindy McCready's apparent suicide.

Cleburne County Sheriff Marty Moss said Tuesday that investigators did not find a suicide note at the Heber Springs home where the performer's body was found Sunday.

But he says they've submitted electronic devices to the state crime lab.

I read the article on TMZ about 4 hours ago but didn't post it as I wasn't sure TMZ is considered a good enough source for information.
I do see that others have picked up this story from TMZ since it was posted but nothing I would consider mainstream or known sources for information.
Just yesterday it was said (CNN) that an investigation was ongoing in the death of McCready and Wilson.

http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/18/showbiz/mindy-mccready-death/index.html

I wonder if authorities are getting any pressure to claim that McCready has never been suspect in the death of her boyfriend.
One wonders (or I do) why they waited so long to let out that little tidbit.

IMO and experience from following cases here and elsewhere, if TMZ names a source, you can bet on the accuracy.

And since authorities never said she was a suspect perhaps they didn't feel the need to comment on it.

Mindy McCready died in a 'perfect storm'


http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/19/showbiz/mindy-mccready/

"Saturday was a very bad day for her," Hanks said.

McCready, 37, told him about an e-mail she received on Friday from the Arkansas Department of Human Services' Division of Children and Family Services that included a proposed court order that would send her two children to live with her mother in Florida.

"The proposed court order was the nail in her coffin, the thing that sent her over the edge," Hanks said.



*from following Mindy for the past few years I can see that proposed court order sending her over the edge.
She DID NOT want her mother to have her children.

For the most part I agree with you about TMZ but I wasn't sure if it was considered by WS to be a good enough source or an allowable source as far as info. on a case.
What I recall authorities saying was that they hadn't confirmed that the death of the boyfriend was due to suicide.They said the claim of suicide came from a McCready rep.
I also think there is a huge difference between the phrase 'suspect' and 'a suspect'
If she is innocent she deserves to have her name cleared.I'm just a bit concerned why this is coming a day after her suicide.
IMO

They did say that. But the never even implied Mindy was even doubted.
They just said its under investigation.
They just said they hadn't ruled it a suicide.
That Mindy's camp was the only ones calling it a suicide.
Not so much as a hint that they thought she may have done it or that her story changed.

Only the "unnamed" source told the Enquirer and People that Mindy's story changed.

Now we see a NAMED official with LE QUOTED saying she never changed her story.

To me it's simple.
Somebody (an unnamed somebody) cashed in on this horrible tragedy and sensationalized the facts out of greed. And the Enquirer and People ran with it trying to scoop everybody else to make money out of greed.

It's disgusting.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

I also read today that Mindy was upset that she didn't get to go to the hospital with her boyfriend because they had to do the gun shot residue tests. I would think those results would be back by now and that may have a lot to do with them believing her.

JMO and a thought that just came to mind.

And just yesterday it was said that the investigation into both deaths were ongoing.So if the TMZ article is correct,they must have the results back within a day of M.M. death on the boyfriend.
The timing just seems strange to me.I hope we get a little more information than just a statement from LE.
IMO

 

[Kimberlyd125]

Here it is...

http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/19/showbiz/mindy-mccready/index.html?c=&page=2

( this is her friend Hanks talking)


McCready couldn't go to the hospital to spend Wilson's dying hours with him because investigators held her to test her hands for gunshot residue, he said. The test eliminated her as a suspect in the shooting, he said, but the Cleburne County Sheriff's Office withheld a conclusion that Wilson had committed suicide until the autopsy report was completed.

Tabloids reported that McCready was a suspect in his death.

"There was no murder investigation," Hanks said. "All the police ever said was, 'We have not finished our investigation.' "

Just because the investigations are not complete. They are both being investigated as suicides. That's what LE stated.

What kind of information and from who?
LE statements are official statements. I would consider info from other sources not as accurate.

So far we have from TMZ that LE never considered her as a suspect.
In the article you posted from CNN we have her friend Hank saying she was cleared after the results came back clear for gun residue on her hands.
In that same article we have a no comment to CNN from LE.
I really hope she is innocent of any wrongdoing for the sake of her children but I'm waiting for more confirmation and or reports.
IMO

 

[redheadedgal]

she might've never changed her story when talking to the sheriff... but that doesn't necessarily mean she did not change her story while speaking with other LE (police) prior to speaking with said sheriff. both of these can be true.

it does seem her story "changed":

-first she said she didn't hear the gunshot that killed david, then she did hear it
-her/her rep said wilson's death was a suicide, then MM claimed she did not know if it was suicide or murder

(which is ridiculous... as she never spoke about anyone else in the house that night)


as to the question that was posed to me earlier in the thread, i stand by what i said. seems others agree...

That information came from an unnamed source didn't it?

I'm assuming before LE spoke with TMZ they were up to date and informed about the case. All the statements.

IMO unnamed sources are unnamed for a reason. Often because the information is bogus.

I trust quotes from named sources a lot more because there is personal responsibility.

It really doesn't matter.

Those who want to believe she killed him will no matter what information comes out.

It's sad because its so unfair. And disrespectful to her memory.

JMO

ETA: I have no clue what question you are talking about earlier in the thread.
