So a 63 year old disabled woman who has been essentially housebound for a year suddenly decides to go walking on a night when the temps are near freezing and there's freezing rain in the area.
Sure, ok.....
haha, I see the logic behind your sarcasm for sure!
But... at the same time, that is why I was interested in the specifics of her impairment that was mentioned. I have seen some older people do some batshit crazy things, and it's usually related to some form of dementia. I'm not 100% sure, but I do believe that dementia is one thing that can be caused by a stroke. If she has dementia, then her not putting on that chiefs jacket isn't a given either!
All bets are off at that point.
Also, I'd want to get a look at the boyfriend. If he's around her age, and is he physically capable of doing something to her and moving her etc?
She has 7 kids. Are they all in the house? If he did do something would they have heard something?
I'd like to know a bit more about this case, but to a degree I am thinking that the police have likely ruled out the husband and anyone in the house.
Also, it says she's mostly housebound, but does note she goes to the casino and grocery store. So, she does leave the house and with dementia she could think she's going on a trip with her sister... and that might all be in her head. I've seen this kind of thing before. One of the kids could leave without their hat and she might try to go find them and have no concept of where she really is even after a short walk.
But if the main thing she does is ride the bus, that aspect could be strong in her memory.
I'm no expert on all this, but I have been around people with dementia and some things are strong in their memory and other things are not. I had a relative who thought I was her son and she'd often talk to me about classes she thought I was taking at school. It got to the point where I'd just go along with it, as correcting her was just asking for an argument.
