I found some bits of the phone recording to be a little difficult to understand....but did anyone else hear the part where she was blaming herself for not "saving him".....and she talked about how she "could have put the pills in his food, she could have put the pills in his drink" ---- the only thing I'm thinking this could be referring to is that he was suffering from depression also and perhaps had been on antidepressant meds but stopped taking them.......and she regrets that she didn't try to sneak them into his food/drink. ????
Sounded to me like she was under the influence of something during this conversation.....didn't seem like booze, maybe drugs?
The whole recording thing is weird to me. Did she ask her friend to record it?......at the time not planning on suicide herself and hoped that that conversation could be used down the road if she was ever accused of killing David?
Why didn't this Danno guy do something? Given her history of suicide attempts, having recently lost custody of her kids and the apparent suicide of her "soul mate", you'd think he'd have done something out of fear she'd attempt again. Those who loved her should have ensured she wasn't left alone.
That being said, I believe it was in the comments section in a CNN article about her suicide, that she hadn't attended the memorial his college buddies had for him because "none of his friends could stand her"....and there was one person who responded claiming that David wanted to leave her and I think (I'll have to try and find it) something about him having told her the night before he died that he was leaving. Motive to kill him or have someone kill him?
From everything I've read, articles in which his close friends are commenting about the utter shock of him having taken his life, the consistent theme from those who knew him was that he was a very bubbly, lively, happy, funny, outgoing person. I would think that if someone was so depressed that they resorted to suicide, they wouldn't be able to hide their depression so well from their close friends/family.
In the interview with the Channing lady on ?20/20, I found it weird that Mindy proclaimed that he was definitely not having an affair. I say that because I have not read anything anywhere about him being accused of having done so........so who was Mindy defending this to? Who was it that was allegedly saying otherwise?
It was one of those "moments".
I adore Townes, and yes, many (most?) of his tunes are dark. I finally was going to get to hear him live; bought tickets for both nites; but they turned into (awesome) tribute nites. One of the best was Terry Allen doing Hank Williams' "Lost Highway". That cover of Townes' WATD was at a Townes wake (public) too many years ago. KUT FM in Austin, TX, did an awesome tribute as well...may be available, IDK.
