In discussion of suicide, it's been discussed that she would maybe have gone to the culvert to delay/prevent being found. (I bet there are some MUCH more difficult areas To have chosen not to be found). Some theories mentioned is To spare her family, or to preserve a life insurance policy. It's also been discussed that she may have carefully planned it out... Having a second method (plastic bag & water as backup). So that being said, would someone with such premeditated planning have a thin plastic bag from a restaurant as their backup? And more importantly, if you were going to test your razor blade method, would you do so in your car (which was in plain view on a street), with the risk of smearing it in/on your car? That would leave evidence, and perhaps hasten discovery of your body? From what many have said and I have read, it does take some effort to defeat the will to breathe while suffocating. Had she practiced or prepared for that? And would you prepare with a thin, restaurant plastic bag. And if it was a spontaneous decision, how would she know the methods to choose and how to defeat the will to breathe? I Say this because I've never ( and doubt I never would) considered suicide,and before reading this post would not have known about plastic bags, taking drugs to defeat the will to breathe, cold water shock and taking a breath in, etc. So in my case, if I hadn't planned it out, and it was a spontaneous decision, I absolutely wouldn't know how to do it. So if it was suicide, she either planned it, or it was spontaneous, right? Suicide isn't accidental, right? (I'm not being sarcastic, I'm truly asking this). I'm pondering all this in a logical way with the evidence that is known. While we can't determine her state of mind with logic, regardless of MOD, evidence can be examined logically, and evidence, in and of itself, cannot lie.
If being killed without evidence on her body being left is so rare (but let's not forget being in the water, a great way to dilute evidence), isn't suddenly "snapping into craziness (whatever that condition is called) also a bit rare?
As to her clothes not been to disheveled , how can you be laying in a ditch, with having been rained on, in dirty water all around you & not appear to disheveled? Even a custom-made three-piece suit would look pretty dishevelled at that point.
I don't know if it was suicide or homicide. Only CD, (if it was suicide), and other parties, (if it was homicide), know this at this time. And As many have mentioned, if there is no clear cut evidence for homicide, and the same is true for suicide, this may well stay undetermined.
