This story is weird, starting with the fact that LE says RW has no friends in the area despite her and her husband having lived there for a year and a half.
Normally, a year and a half is long enough to form at least some friendships.
And the reporter really should have asked numerous f/u questions in this interview with the husband, including:
- Who did RW inform that she wasn't feeling well that day?
- Who is the homeowner and are they male or female?
- What symptoms was she complaining of?
- Who told her to walk to the hospital?
- Why did that someone not offer to drive her to the hospital?
- Why would RW head for the hospital without her phone or ID?
- Did anyone report seeing her walking toward the hospital that day?
- Where was husband that weekend?
There are plenty of possible scenarios here, but RW having gone voluntarily missing seems to be the likeliest, based on the very limited information we have to date.
Self-harm or misadventure are certainly possible here.
Having said that, it would be helpful to know more about what her mental state was when she left the house.
It would also be helpful to know more about the homeowner.
JMO.
Yep, you nailed it. I pray that LE has answers to all the questions the reporter failed to ask.
SW having no family there is understandable; she and her husband moved. I’m not getting caught up on the “no friends” just yet, either. She has PTSD, and who knows, maybe she’s an introvert, or maybe she has friends her husband doesn’t know about. It does seem odd, but I’m setting that aside for now.
I have very hard time understanding why someone would tell her to walk to a hospital. If it was her husband, well okay, he was out of town. But the homeowner supposedly watched her walk away. Was the homeowner preoccupied with his/her mother and couldn’t get away at the time? Did RW and the homeowner have some kind of falling out? For sure, I too, want to know more about the homeowner.
No ride, no phone, no ID. Boy, howdy... Oh, and no coat from the sounds of it and it was 30 degrees that morning. I still want to know what time she left.
If her husband was the one who told her to go to the hospital, I would expect that to sound more like “She wasn’t feeling well and
I told her to go to the hospital” not “
She was told to go to the hospital…” The latter sounds like he's repeating what was told to him. Also, the fact that he points out the length of the walk (20 min), that she wasn’t feeling well, and that she has PTSD indicates to me that he is sympathetic and may not understand himself, why someone didn’t give her a ride.
But, there are just too many unknowns here. Husband told her to walk, unknown person told her to walk, homeowner couldn’t leave his/her mother and told her to walk, or husband told her to walk after homeowner politely declined? Angrily refused? ???
Does the mother require 24/7 care? Was it SW’s day off (she’s in a jogging suit)? Or, did SW call the homeowner and say she needed him/her to come so she could go to the hospital?
I think my biggest question is if anyone else saw SW after the homeowner said she left the house. And, it looks to me like someone would have
had to see her along the route to the hospital. According to Google, it is a 30-minute walk. Would she have accepted a ride from a stranger?
