    The Venmo message is being repeated by everyone as "they're not going to let me go" but I think it is missing key punctuation. Apparently, Amanda knew Debbie had been depressed and had encouraged Debbie to cheer up by telling her things would get better. Debbie responded.
    "They're not going to.
    Let me go.
    I love you... "
    That one period completely changes the message's meaning..

      Holy shit 🫨 That makes so much sense! When I heard she bought paper towels I immediately knew she was going to use them to help ignite the fire that would ultimately kill her. I do believe she was plotting suicide and your theory is honestly the best I've heard.

      However... her daughter could have been with Debbie, and used her Mom's phone to both send herself the money, and the text message.
      But, I can't quite explain how the daughter could have coaxed her Mom into the store to buy those odd items. Any further thoughts?

      It's also suspicious that she was found holding a small tree. It doesn't make sense that she would be able to keep her grip on that while being burned alive.
      Her daughter not immediately contacting authorities when she couldn't contact her mother after that disturbing text, exaggerated about the truck driver and the conflict her mother had with him and smirking in an interview as she gloated that she told the people in her life who suspected her in her mother's death would be apologising to her has me strongly suspecting that Debbie's death is not a suicide.

And the act that money was venmoed to the daughter prior to her death is very shady. Also, I dont believe that it was Debbie that sent that text of "they wont let me go." that was done by the murderer to try to throw everyone off.

      I agree. I'm not so certain, even AFTER Dr. Grande's breakdown, that Debbie killed herself. Especially in such a HORRIFICALLY PAINFUL way! I'd always been led to believe that women did t usually choose ways to die that would disfigure them...ever conscious of the fact that family would want to view their bodies at a funeral, yes? That's why MOST women don't shoot themselves in the head. Debbie was a rather good looking woman and I find it very difficult to believe that she would set herself on FIRE in order to kill herself...I don't know. That's awfully hard to swallow...

    I just wanted to add a comment on Hydrocodone, though this is not necessarily connected to poor Debbie's mysterious and tragic death.
    Some years ago, I was struck by a severe case of sciatica, which lasted for 18 months. I had never used opioids or drugs before this. Due to crippling pain, I had to quit my job, and was mostly in bed.
    The orthopedist gave me Hydrocodone to ease the pain. Within a couple weeks on this drug, I experienced visual hallucinations, for the first time in my life. The grotesque forms, faces and imagery I saw, with my eyes closed, and even eyes open at times, was terrifying. I had to quit the med, and deal with the pain until finally, I found a type of physical therapy that gradually healed it, and with the help of God. Even on the warning paperwork with the prescription, I noticed later that it warned of hallucinations, even suicide. Maybe it is not a universal side effect, but I saw images too horrific to bear. Possibly, Debbie had an adverse reaction, but I'm only speculating what might have happened.

    I think maybe Debbie was talking about the hydrocodone "They aren't going to let me go." Meaning her addiction to the pills......"they."
    I spent over 15 years in active addiction to hydrocodone and can attest to its powerful grip. For years I worried, "How do I stop?" It doesn't feel like I'll ever be able to stop! Desperate to quit but my brain craved it and my body SCREAMED without it. Friggin endless cycle of hell!
    Thankfully that is no longer an issue. It's been over 5 years now and I don't have any cravings or desire to relapse. So there is a light at the end of the tunnel but I can remember a time when I could see absolutely no way out! Maybe thats what Debbie was referring to.

    Good evening Dr Grande, Debbie choice of suicide is frightening. But, with Opioids she most likely felt no pain. I know personally, Opioids doesn't make you psychotic, It makes you grandiose. Makes you feel like you can do anything. But, Opioids makes you extremely dependent on the drug. Took three Detoxes to make me realize that. I still take Codeine for a severe back injury, but my caregiver only gives me three a day.

    I will say...I was a heroin addict for 20 years...and I have hallucinate. But it is very rare. Like out of the thousands of times I used it has happened maybe 4 times. Also...who knows what was mixed in. They were never dangerous hallucinations. It was mostly confusion...talking to people not there...almost like being between a dream state and awake at the same time. Like when ur falling asleep and start to dream but ur still awake....but more intense. It is possible..but to drive that far, go shopping and execute a plan like that seems very far fetched for an opiate hallucination.

      Or maybe since her and Steve shared a Venmo, it was him saying they were not going to let him leave early. Because I think she was off work for the week. I wonder how long in advance she took the time off, and what her reasoning was for asking for the time off.

    There are so many things that are asumed in this case, that the most logical things are left for no one to notice. Like the message Debbie sent, her injuries and that telephone call her daughter had with her aunt...almost the first thing she told her aunt was that altercation that had happened quite a while before with that truck driver. Clearly used to cause suspicion away from the obvious. If you are about to kill someone you can use their phone and pretend you are that person.
    The amount of the money was just enough to pay what her daughter's boyfriend needed to pay what he owed to 'person x'.
    And the two of them reconcile a few months !ater and you see them going at each other after Debbie passed away??? It is like the solution is staring you right in the face but proving it might not seem so easy...shame on everyone who dealt with this case. There are murderers in your backyard and gave them a free pass. In the small chance they will never do anything wrong ever again is a small one if you hear how Debbie died. That isn't someone who should run around free. That person or maybe two won't stop here. They enjoyed it a little too much. Low intelligence and being cruel, prisons are filled with them. Hope you can sleep as a baby. For now at least.

    • @garbagecan6969
      @garbagecan6969 9 месяцев назад +1

      Bravo, you did a better job analyzing and describing the potential events that took place in one comment, than the police have done in nearly a year of investigation.
      I haven't watched the interview, but I bet the ones working this case didn't pay much attention to it either. It's so easy for them to say it's not my problem, but when the shoe is on the other foot guess who turns into a big crybaby, pathetic.
      On top of the already damming evidence that she did NOT commit suicide, it doesn't make sense to bring a tarp, a rain poncho, paper towels, and then kill yourself on the tarp and leave all the evidence and there, that negates the point of preparing all this stuff to make it look planned.
      If she was trying to frame her daughter, she would have to cut herself, smear blood all over the paper towels and clothing, fatally wound herself, then roll herself up in a tarp and roll down the hill into the ravine. THATS NUTS, it makes 0 sense to say someone that average planned to commit suicide in the stupidest, most suspicious way possible. Nobody would leave that much evidence of murder on purpose.
      Its clear that she was not supposed to catch fire and run through the woods leaving a mess everywhere, something went wrong during the murder and her captor or captors fled the scene in a panic. If it was truly intended to play out this way, it would be too risky to hope that the cops wouldn't suspect foul play, but these were not smart criminals. And yet the police don't even suspect murder anymore, what a JOKE.
      The location is a specific place as well, how did she know there was a logging road there, why would she choose such a dark place to end her life.

      Really?, a woman I was close to took her clothes off before getting into her car to drive herself to where she eventually burned herself to death. I’m still trying to understand why she did it that way when there’re so many less painful ways to go. Her family tells me she had been depressed for a year or so, and had been taking medication prescribed by her regular doctor. Such doctor retired early right after the tragedy happened by the way. The first thing I thought was that the medication could have caused a psychotic episode because I can’t imagine anyone burning themselves if they’re in their right mind.

    The daughter & boyfriend moved into a rental that her mother & stepfather owned . I believe this was a different address than Debbie’s home. I have a hard time understanding why she would drive to a dollar store after passing 2 or 3 other dollar stores on her way the turn around to go back .It was also mentioned that the daughter was as heavy as her mom & could wear her clothes, the person in the store could be the daughter with a wig on . I understand Debbie s son having a hard time believing suicide. The money sent to the daughter was the amount needed for the daughters boyfriends rehab center that was close to where Debbie died. I don’t know if he was court ordered to attend because of parole or something jail or prison related as he had been in trouble for domestic abuse on Debbie’s daughter, I don’t think a mother would pay the man who beat her daughters rehab money & thus think it’s odd the money that he needed the same day she died was taken from her account. It will be a long time until I will think of this as a suicide. I feel bad for her two children , all they have is each other & the son is looking side at his drug addicted sister and her bf as a possible reason his mom is dead. So am I still.
