Just imagine if the PD and others involved in the "investigation" were briefed in a similar fashion to how some media outlets have chosen to report this:
Ok boys, listen up, we have the 32 yr old girlfriend of the owner of this place, MR JS, found hanging in the backyard naked and bound by MR S brother, AS, who had just gotten into town yesterday to provide emotional support his big brother. Two days ago she was here at the house with MR S's only child with his second wife, DS. She was the only adult home and MS reportedly fell from the second floor stair case. He was found non responsive and not breathing. Medical providers were able to regain his heart beat after about 25 minutes. AS was helpful this morning in providing additional information regarding little MS, sadly, he is not likely to survive his injuries. His father left MISS Z a voice message earlier this morning letting her know that MS was not likely to survive.
The doctors treating MS at Rady's have made clear statements to the family that MS's visible injuries do not line up with his condition and there is a possibility the boy was suffocated before his fall. An investigation into his death will now likely be launched.
Obviously, due to the nature of this situation, we need to keep in mind that this family has suffered not one, but two tragic losses and I want us to get in here, get the evidence we need to either put someone on the scene or prove it was just her and get outta here. You can see we are surrounded by news cameras. The longer we are here, the longer they are here. Get in there, get what we need, get out. This family doesn't need the media adding to their misery.
Now if this is how it was presented, or in a similar context, wouldn't that change the way police (or whoever) approached this investigation. No TRUE covering up or malicious intent perhaps? Just a white glove tip toe approach to the situation because of how it was presented? Now did the presenter do wrong by believing the story or possibly being influenced (which is less likely the case IMO) by someone or something.
It really just is so hard for me to believe that this was a true cover up of some sort. I am not saying that is impossible. Just seems unlikely IMO. Sloopy, shoddy, not thorough, misleading etc etc etc? Yes. Definitely. I do think that them being aware of the situation from that perspective would really change they way they handled this. After all, how often are you working a case where a person hanging found hanging had a possible role in the death of a child. That must bring up a detachment or anger of some sort of they knew it as such. All of course, JMO. Thanks for letting me ramble.
SunnieRN, I just LOVE your posts. Thank you.
