I wonder what information she may have stumbled upon??


quote:

“Her last words were, ‘I don’t want to die,’” a family member previously told KSAT.

The 35-year-old worked for US Rep. Tony Gonzales as a congressional staffer.


quote:


UPD, EMS and the Uvalde Volunteer Fire Department responded to the initial disturbance call at Santos-Aviles’ residence at roughly 9:40 p.m. Sept. 13. The fire had been put out and EMS was treating Santos-Aviles when firefighters arrived. Police officers told the firefighters that she had “doused herself in gasoline and was ignited into flames,” according to a UVFD report. Firefighters also extinguished a burning gas can in the backyard.

That's awful.

Holy crap, there’s a story there. Beautiful staffer lit herself on fire, but then didn’t want to die… Sounds like Joe Scarborough saga, possibly

Also from the article:

quote:

Texas officials did not disclose whether Santos-Aviles deliberately set herself on fire; however, her family insists it was an accident.

“Her last words were, ‘I don’t want to die,’” a family member previously told KSAT.

How does one accidentally douse yourself in gasoline? The family says it was accidental.

That is damn scary. Think it was a situation where she was made to do it against her will?? Like some sort of MK Ultra thing? Seriously…

Uvalde, isn't that where the police failed miserably in that school shooting.

At least they didn't stand around for a couple hours before working up the nerve to throw some water on her.
