Thank you for your comments and information about other Military investigations you are familiar with.
In my husband's case, the behavior of the Air Force Office of Special Investigation was very unusual; one minute they were informing people they were taking over and the next minute they were hands off. I would have to say, they were in the case long enough to muddy it up; even more than it already was. They fought continually with local law enforcement; specifically the Sheriff's Department, who maintained their belief the death was "foul play". The bitter relationship between Military and civilian agencies, the unstable local political environment and the best interest of the coorperate giants resulted in a tremendous injustice, which hopefully some day, will be made right.
Personally, I would be looking at the person who apparently made the most aggressive grab for money, and that would be Tracy Shue. From what I understand, within weeks she made a serious grab for Nancy's insurance pay-out, using some "slayers" law.
I could understand if she were only trying to prevent Nancy from benefitting from insurance money, but Tracy tried to take it for herself by using this law.
I also was repulsed by her presentation during interviews. She is pure ice. Something is not right with Tracy Shue. If I were Nancy, I would pounce on her for slander and libel, considering that Tracy is peppering the Internet with accusations..
But I wonder if Philip Shue mutilated himself or if he had help. I feel he had serious mental issues, and it's obvious to me that the letters from the "friend" were totally fake(that's why the insurance company blew him off), but did he write them on his own? Was it his idea? Or did Tracy get pissed off at the idea of Nancy holding a claim and give him a helping hand?
I would love to see this case investigated further.
All members who are interested in the Colonel Philip Shue case and other Military Death Investigation cases, Mrs. Kimberly Stahlman (Widow of Marine Colonel Michael Stahlman) and myself have written to Petition a Bill of Rights for Bereaved Military Families. The site is: http://www.petition2congress.com/5213/bill-rights-bereaved-military-families/or Bereaved Military Families. Please take time to sign this Petition and send a letter. It only will take a few moments of your time and will mean so much to so many Military Families.
Another valuable website for those interested in Military Non-Combat Deaths is: noncombatdeath.org or Home of the Brave. There are many stories on these pages about the many Military Families who currently have no forum for justice. I have known many of these Families over the years since Philip's murder. Their stories are equally as horrific and with inadequate death investigations, fabricated information and complete injustice.
Please support this very worthy cause for Military Families who have sacrificed so much.

Widow of Colonel Philip Shue
