More and more as the days tick by, with no arrest, people here are obviously getting frustrated
1. Many assume the case is clear: Raven stabbed Janet to death. Period.
2. Others contend that there is just no way that Raven would ever hurt Janet, much less kill her.
3. And, the third contingent is simply undecided not enough information to decide, etc.
Looking at the first scenario, I wanted to focus on the question of MOTIVE.
IF Raven in fact murdered Janet, then why?
Was this a premeditated murder? Had Raven carefully planned the events of April 26?
Or, did something trigger rage, and result in Janets murder that night?
POSSIBILITIES
1. Finances. It seems clear by now that Raven and Janet were experiencing some really tough times, financially. Rent issues for certain. Other debt concerns? Day to day expenses? Legal expenses? Expenses, in general, versus income Janet we know was working and earning income. We do NOT know for fact, what, if anything, Raven was doing, work-wise. Was there any other source of income?
Could there have been an argument that night over some financial issue that resulted in Janets murder?
Could there have been some argument about employment? IF Raven was not working, could a discussion about that have resulted in an argument or something that ended up with Janet being stabbed?
2. Embezzlement. This ties in on some level to finances, sure. Weve been told that Janet had no knowledge of the embezzlement. But, was this whole issue one that still haunted their day to day lives? Were there arguments about it? Certainly until the issue was ever truly resolved, it must have hung over the household like some dark cloud. And with the ongoing embezzlement issues, there must have been at least some financial repercussions, i.e., legal expenses. And, beyond finances, the embezzlement is certainly another issue altogether the fact the Janet must have now known that her husband was capable of criminal activity.
3. Infidelity. We have had all sorts of discussions here regarding Ravens alleged infidelities. If they happened, when they happened, etc. Numerous people have confirmed that yes, there were infidelities, at least during the time Raven and Janet were not living together. Others have suggested the these infidelities continued, even after Raven and Janet reconciled. Were they still on-going in April 2005? Who knows. Was there evidence of any NEW infidelity on Ravens part? Could Janet have found something, or heard something, that led to a confrontation that evening with Raven? Along those same lines, there was even discussion here about Ravens sexuality. IF there is any truth to those rumors or speculation, could any of that played a part in the events of April 26th?
4. Temper. Its been mentioned by several people who knew Raven personally, either now or in the past, that he was known for his temper. There is a report of an assault on a referee at a soccer game. Others have talked about his "short fuse" in general, with regards to temper. Raven himself wrote on one of his websites about his issues with his temper. All of that said, did his temper just get the best of him that night, for whatever reason? Did he just "snap", fly into a rage, about SOMETHING, and that rage was directed at Janet?
5. A new beginning. Be prepared folks, this one is cold and harsh. Raven wrote the day before Janets murder about being free a new start a new beginning. Raven, admittedly, has not had the smoothest of lives, some things his fault, some not. So, talking of a fresh start in life is perhaps natural and a good thing. But, is there a possibility that a fresh start and being "free" had anything to do with a fresh start, without Janet in the picture? Im reminded of Mr. A pointing out early on that Ravens writings on the website and the blog, were so egocentric. "I" this, and "me" that. Was Janet such an insignificant aspect of his life? Was he thinking of a life of just him and Kaiden, no Janet around? Sounds cold and calculating, for sure, but, just another thing to consider.
6. Marriage. This ties into many of the things mentioned above, most certainly. But, one has to wonder, with everything that had been going on in their lives, for many months, was the Abaroas marriage strong and solid? Is there any chance that Janet could have confronted Raven that evening and said something along the lines of, "I cant do this anymore and I want us to take some time apart ." Again, speculation, for sure. But, say Janet did in fact say that to Raven that night, and, she also mentioned that not only did she want out or something, but that she also was going to take Kaiden with her - could that have resulted in rage, and ultimately murder?
All of these things are speculative, pure and simple. But, IF Raven did in fact murder Janet on April 26th, then there is SOME reason .one of these? Some variation of one of these? Or, something else????
