No. All of us bring a bit of ourselves to these Boards. We place our empathy based partly on our own history. I understand that.
I just have spend weeks reading here such harsh criticism of DS...such snark and suspicion of a grieving Mother. Many who defended her have just left ...probably from emotional exhaustion.
I do feel for DS. But I think that RZ's family deserves a review of her case as well. I just think that , in any case that any of us "sleuths"....an open mind, uncommitted to either side, is an asset. This case is a real puzzler and a heartbreaker, because we do not know if there was a murder in either case . We do not know villian or victim. But WS, wisely in my opinion, has deemed BOTH Rz and DS "victims". So I think t gives balance to help present DS's point of view...and afford her some degree of true sympathy for her loss.
SMM, I believe that Rebecca's case has been "sleuthed" far more thoroughly than it was investigated and that might be the problem with many of the "sleuthers" like myself. SDSO failed to provide substantive proof that Rebecca committed suicide while also totally failing to perform a proper murder investigation. Many like myself tried to figure out what happened. That would not have been necessary if the police had done a logical, factual and scientific investigation.
Some examples of a non scientifically done investigation include but are not limited to a non existent voice mail, illogical belief in Rebecca's cirque du soleil talent, lack of analysis of the nonsensical message on the door, lack of a logical explanation for the head and other injuries, bloodshed, duct tape residue, gag, bindings and lack of analysis of other crucial evidence.
Max's case did not present the same problems. The parents, especially Jonah did not immediately protest the findings of Max's investigation. Jonah was fully in charge and he thanked every one associated with the case.
Why weren't Dr. Peterson's findings pursued? At what point were they dropped as Jonah accepted the ruling of accidental injury? Why did Jonah quickly remodel the mansion? What does Dina have to say about that? Why didn't Jonah allow the Zahaus entry without SDSO? Why did he lie and say he sold the mansion when it was still under his control? None of that looks good.
I wonder why anyone would be surprised at the interest in this case? You would think if Jonah really wanted peace he would have cooperated with the Zahaus. Instead he came off looking like a bad guy and now Dina's paid expert is accusing Rebecca of murder. It really comes off as unfairly bashing a dead woman without any proof what so ever.
Gore did not prove that Rebecca killed herself and Dr. Melinek did not prove that Rebecca killed Max. It really does seem like Rebecca is taking a terrible bashing too, imo. Also, I believe everyone here has expressed sympathy for Dina's loss and everyone wants both cases properly investigated but that does not mean they must also agree with Dr. Melinek's findings or Gore's conclusions.
