[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I hope to god nothing mysterious ever leads to my demise and a bunch of keyboard warrior idiots start speculating about it, combing through my life and scrutinizing every tiny minuscule detail I did or did not do…like, god forbid, not posting a picture of my child on Instagram for 7 months. I haven’t posted a picture on Instagram of my child for 2+ years, so I MUST be some depressive, suicidal, and deranged maniac plotting ways to murder my family.

Should anyone find out I stopped drinking coffee a bit of time ago, I wonder what kind of speculation would THAT lead to: SHE HAS TOURETTES AND A TOUCAN SWOOPED DOWN AND KNOCKED HER WITH IT’S BEAK, CAUSING COGNITIVE DIFFICULTIES AND AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR — SHE MURDERED HER FAMILY!!!!!!!

Jesus Christ. Get a grip people. Webslueths is full of a bunch of idiots without a single rational thought, no ability to logically reason, and possessing zero critical thinking skills. They’re almost always wrong and never right and they literally double down on their bogus theories when the evidence proves their level of bogus-ness is more than previously thought. Hey if no one else will say it, I will. Turn that crazy train around and redirect it right back to where you came from, Websluethers.  [/b]

[b]Anyway - I’m placing my bets on: they got stuck by lightning. [/b]There were warnings in place for the Sierra National Forest preceding their hike and the warnings extended to multiple days. You can also look up lightning strike archives for different areas around the the world and although some strikes may not be recorded or may be missed, on that date and in that area it does show activity. A thunderstorm is not required for lightning to occur, either, despite the misconception so for those who will say there were no storms in the area have little to back up their claim. It all makes sense of you understand anything about how lightning works, even down to the position he was found in. For example: Absent any shelter, and in an open field/area without any other options, it’s recommended (limited to one’s options, obv) to sit on the ground - yes, sit and not lay as it’s less contact with the ground - with something between you and ground if you can…like a blanket, coat, anything. (I’m not making the claim that he had anything between him and the ground - I’m just clarifying what is recommended when you have no options, and it’s recommended because lightning is electricity - it always wants to find ground, so the less contact the better.) It’s also recommended to spread out in the event one gets struck, the other doesn’t also. The baby and dog limit their ability to do this fully, but it explains the couple being apart. Further, a direct strike is rare. Most people who get struck by lightning is from an indirect strike, like it hitting an object and dispersing on the ground beneath, which explains my first point about wanting the least amount of contact with the ground which is why you don’t want to lay down. It also can paralyze you momentarily (think of what happens if you’ve ever been shocked before), which I’m speculating on this next part but I would think if your heart stops in that moment (cardiac arrest is the cause of death regarding lightning strikes), you’d pass in that position. Lastly, experts have said that the low statistics for being struck by lightning are dramatically underestimated and it’s far more likely than is stated. [/quote]

Uh... pot meet kettle.
 
You disparage everyone else for doing the same exact thing that you just did -- with the exception that other people didn't ramble on & on in a sanctimonious tirade, just to then come up with their own "speculating" theory.

You're ridiculous.

It wasn’t sanctimonious. I’m disparaging the people who are claiming the wife killed the family because she had mental health issues and using the fact that she didn’t post on Instagram for months so she must not have liked them/being a mom as the evidence for their theory. That’s ridiculous and it perpetuates stereotyping everyone who struggles with mental health which is already a problem. Their speculations are based on baseless assumptions and cruel stereotypical judgment. My speculation is supported by facts - re: how lightning works. By “Webslueths”, I wasn’t talking about general people who take interest in true crime - I was referring to the actual website: Webslueths.[/quote]

I agree with you that posters we’re getting carried away theorizing about how and why Ellen killed her family. Cruel, misogynistic, and racist assumptions based on fantasy. Thankfully, suicide (in most recent update) and murder (back in August update) were ruled out. As was lightning (September update).[/quote]
