Thoughts? Theories? |
Watched it years ago. No theories. The dumbass was drunk and her husband just refuses to accept she could do something so awful. |
This |
Was she a hidden alcoholic? Or did the family know? Did she try to kill them all? Or was she just wasted? |
She was drunk (.2 BAC with 6 grams of yet to be digested alcohol in her stomach, and high levels of THC) as could be and high drove the wrong way down the road - no evidence it was intentional. She was drinking a bottle of vodka in the car. She had stopped a few times to vomit and had pulled over a couple times. The last call to her brother, she was confused, slurring her speech and had blurry vision. She was pulled over during that call and he told her to stay put and he was on his way but she drove off again, leaving her cell phone behind.
There was no evidence she was drunk when she left in the campground in the morning. Her family said she did drink but never in excess and not frequently. There was no evidence of alcoholism in the autopsy. Her husband was convinced she had a stroke but the toxicology report really says otherwise. |
So she wasn’t an alcoholic but she suddenly decided to go on a bender that morning driving with kids in the car from a family camping trip?? How is that possible? The husband said that vodka bottle was always in the car and had been there- partially full- for a year c |
It’s been years since I watched the documentary, but didn’t her husband claim she had a dental issue that may have been causing her pain? Maybe she was self medicating? |
Pp I read that was nonsense, just the family trying to cover. There was no evidence of any dental issues |
Yes. She'd had a tooth abscess for like two months before the crash. She was just a horrifically unhealthy person in general, even when you take away the alcoholism. She was a stoner, overweight, and apparently had some lump in her leg that she apparently thought was an embolism but didn't get checked out. |
I think it was a murder-suicide and the nieces were collateral damage. |
That's such a weird way to choose a murder-suicide though. If she wanted to kill herself and her kids she could've done it any time. |
They said she had stopped at a convenience store or gas station on that same trip as well to buy painkillers but they didn't have the brand she wanted. If I was in enough pain to pull off the highway to a gas station or store, I would buy whatever painkiller they had in stock. |
Yeah I think something happened at the campsite that morning that was just the last straw. Her husband seemed like such a useless lump and I think she was just over it. |
This was a fascinating documentary but I haven't watched it in years. I remember thinking that she had been a secret drinker and dope smoker (or maybe she was open about pot?) and she was really angry and unhappy and had been for a long time. It's also possible that her husband knew about the drinking but lied about or was in denial about it but i had the sense thst she concealed it. He seemed like a piece of work. She was holding it all together and she just lost it. |
