Exactly, R.P.

My first post on the subject (the link) is doing a very nice job of updating the story without any speculation. I suggest that anyone that is following the story "re-click" the link. It has been changing hourly, without silly and/or uncalled for conjecture.

I resent the "apparent murder/suicide" description of the event in the absence of released evidence, mainly because the implication that the media wants us to draw is that McNair was the perpetrator. But given that he has multiple gunshot wounds to the head, that is absolutely impossible, as anyone with even a smidgen of forensic knowledge knows. The instant someone shoots himself, the body spasms violently, with the result that the weapon is thrown across the room. In open spaces, the weapon can be found incredible distances away; it's amazing how much pent-up energy human muscles store. Anyhow, this is how, when a body is found with a weapon in hand, investigators know immediately that the ostensible suicide has been staged.

If this really was a murder/suicide (and until further evidence is released, I'm skeptical), then the overwhelming likelihood is that the girl , not McNair, was the perpetrator.

But no one wants to think about that.

Maybe my perceptions are skewed by my irritation with the media lately, but that's how the story seems to be written to me. I don't think it actually implies that McNair did the deed; I just think that's the assumption the author wants us to make. It's more dramatic and captures the public imagination.
