Young couple goes on van tour of US, boy comes back with van - no girl
I didn't really follow this very closely. Is it even possible it was a mercy killing like he said?
He basically says they were rushing back to the car, had to cross stream, hears her scream, pulls her out of the water fairly soon though not immediately. It’s getting very cold and he says she starts freezing. Has a bump on her head. He starts fire and tries to warm her up. She goes through cycles about how much it hurts and “begging to an end for her pain” . . . and eventually he grants her this wish and kills her. Doesn’t say how but says he thought it was merciful.
The same night. With no apparent injury but for a bump on her head and allegedly freezing. Sitting next to a fire with the van across the creek.
Even if he believed that was a “mercy killing” it’s not. He doesn’t know her medical condition. This has all just supposedly happened in a matter of hours. He doesn’t even say he thought she was dying, only that she said it was too much pain.
Either that happened and he really misjudged his options in a criminal way, OR that isn’t what happened and he’s trying to give his family some kind of clean story they can cling too to make their suffering somehow easier, or for some other personal reason.
Based on the other events in the last few days, and how I don’t think this account justifies what he says it justifies along with some of the nonsense of it, I’m going with this being bullshirt.
