Regarding what became of Marion in terms of voluntary disappearance v taking her own life v being murdered by RB or someone he hired to do the job, I guess we can only look at the likelihoods of each scenario and how they would play out over time, referencing the people who knew Marion the best, and how each scenario could end up with her remains never having been found.
Incorporating maybe statistics that someone who is actuarial scientist could be best suited to.
How many woman of Marion's age, with two adult children, wider friends and family, a solid career background and a profession, plenty of money in the bank, take their own life in a manner that means they are never traced again?
Versus how many women are murdered by financially exploitative criminal abusers with 'different brains' and never seen again?
What methods of suicide do most middle aged women use?
What method of murder do most financially exploitative criminal abusers with 'different brains' usually use and what do they usually do with their victim?
What clues do we have to support each argument?
etc, on and on. There are always anomalies but there is also the statistical likelihoods.
MOO is no way would M take her own life. She had her children to think of. She had yet more money in the bank and no doubt a very healthy pension pot. She had a solid professional career that she could return to anytime. Yes she may well have been humiliated, ashamed, embarrassed, but she could have covered up in other ways, just come back and said I've made different plans. She could have paid to go on a women's retreat or gone and lived with Buddhists or Hare Krishna or taken herself off anywhere in the world for some tender loving care and recovery.
Did M have spiritual beliefs? People with strong spiritual beliefs tend to turn to their god and spiritual advisors in times of crisis, not take their life. JMO MOO
