it’s awful. truly heartbreaking.
others can dismiss it as suicide, as it might very
well be one.
i’m comfortable overthinking this for her sake. she deserves to have every theory related to her disappearance examined thoroughly.

Well where did they recover him? Or did they?


he jumped off the bridge at 9:00am and several motorists witnessed it and called 911. He died upon impact and a passing tugboat retrieved his body within 5 minutes after he jumped.

I will be the first to admit a possible suicide. But just thinking about things, why would she snap to her cousin saying she are coming over, Why set her GPS going to her aunts house.. then shortly after why go back and forth on the bridge with sudden erratic braking. I mean I don’t know about suicidal thoughts bc I’ve never had them but I have known a 2 different people that have passed in suicide and I have never seen or heard someone text/call a family member or anyone making plans to go there when suddenly deciding “hmm no ima just off myself” I believe there is something more, I personally think she is somewhere with someone by force sadly. The going back and forth on the bridge could have been who ever took her waiting for his ride to catch up, or traffic to lighten up enough to jump out and into another vehicle. My thoughts of why if she was taken would they do that on a bridge to stage a suicide maybe to stage her car to be found to have them look for her that way and not where she was actually taken... my thoughts again I believe she make have been grabbed forced to tell the people who grabbed her where she was going and who knew about it, and staged the rest... then again could simply be suicide, but from just reading and going over everything I am not convinced it is suicide

Not really. Most women who commit suicide do it in a non-violent way. They typically do not put a gun to their head.

If she called or texted an aunt saying she was coming over that night, why did they not think she was missing until the next day when she didn’t show up to work?

Are we sure that text/call happened or was that just an assumption that she was headed that way when they found out her car was on the bridge?

My thought: She found out she was pregnant. She wanted to get rid of it. Boyfriend didn't. She decided to take it into her own hands.

er father made an interesting statement, though.

quote:
Gauthier said what kept him going was the thought of his daughter. He said, “Just knowing that that’s my little girl out there somewhere.” He let one message to parents all around. “My advice to parents is to pay attention to your kids. Read the signs. If you’ve been through certain things that they haven’t paid attention to those and trust yourself, and look into it, look into your kids.”


I just went back and noticed this post. That is a really weird comment for her father to make at this time.

Not reading into it too much or insinuating anything, but that is an odd comment.

Obviously, every legitimate thread should be followed to rule out foul play buy someone on the verge of suicide can't be counted on to act in a rational manner and sometimes we see shadows that just aren't there.

About 10 years ago a 28yo friend of the family committed suicide. From the outside everything seemed good in her life. After her death her family refused to believe it was suicide, which is normal in a lot of cases. One of her sisters got her laptop and started poking around. She found information that showed her sister placed an order from a clothing/accessory website for a right at $3,000 order placed about an hour before her time of death. They were convinced it was evidence of foul play because why would she have ordered 3 grand worth of clothes right before killing herself. 3-4 days later her mom, two sisters and her two best friends got packages from the company. Each had a handbag in a "gift package" and each had a "note with gift" that said something like Thanks for being a great mother/sister/friend. It wasn't your fault. Goodbye. Weird, kinda creepy and at least the sister my wife knows well threw the bag away but it explained how this incongruous fact "logically" happened.

Then why did they not wonder where she was when she didn’t show up?

And she changed her mind and didn’t go to the cousins house. Cousin says come over and she’s not gonna say, nah imma jump off a bridge. She drove back and forth debating whether to do it and she did. Some events don’t need junior sleuths on the case. Poor girl didn’t see another way out.

And I agree. But buying family members gifts with cards or messages in them, is different than making plans to go and to be heading towards a friend or family members house..

Yet your dead set on suicide and have solved the case because in your mind that is rational thought? Yet thinking of other things other possibilities that this girl may be alive somewhere is not right because you solved the case?
I am not ruling out suicide but im not convinced one bit.

Guess I am a junior sleuth compared to you oh great detective

Unless they have a note or some other hard evidence, it’s hard to rule out foul play without the body

As a parent of a 17 yo kid who has battled depression and suicidal thoughts - ever ER visit is the same. Was there a specific plan? Were goodbyes said; were things given away? Medically speaking, the difference between the “wanting to die” and the actually planning it out is where the greatest risk lies. Everything about this implies a in the heat of the moment, impulsive decision. An overturned 18-wheeler, a flat tire, a train, so many things that could have happened to slow her down that could have saved her life. I saw them on the bridge today walking/recreating the scene and have had a pit in my stomach all day. This poor girl and her family need all the prayers. And no matter the outcome, I absolutely can’t justify the initial police response. An abandoned vehicle on the bridge with the phone and ID of someone this age - there’s obviously some terrible explanation. To tow the vehicle with no attempt to identify and contact parents...I can’t imagine a justifiable explanation for that decision.
