It truly is mind blowing. I don't think anyone believes that the son did this. IMO the only person that could have done this is the mother. The problem is that LE will have to prove it and I think that will be difficult. Her fingerprints could be on everything (leash, rafter, chairs, etc.) but that can be explained and won't prove she did it. It's such a sad case.
I'm wondering the same. I'm thinking it was a short drop but that's only because I don't think the rafter in the basement was that high. I have no idea how high it was but I'd like to know. Unfortunately, I think it was a slow, painful death either way. MOO
