"An exceptionally creative suicide then"
One should be very careful before swallowing anything found on an internet blog hook, line and sinker. If everything jived completely with the information posted here there is NO WAY anyone in the Army could have prevented this from being investigated.
Why would top brass want to cover up?
Do you think a whole butt-load of career soldiers would risk losing their careers and pensions to protect a rapist and killer? Seems unlikely to me, but more probably than the finding of Bigfoot in a block of ice.
When things don't add up, as in what has been posted here, it is better to check your input data again.
I am not that interested to devote my life to uncovering the truth about this matter, but I would want to hear the Army's side of the story and take a look at the evidence before jumping to a conclusion.
But, our anti-americans and left wing radicals already have the conclucion, US and US Army are bad and therefore any thing written that shows America and its Army in a bad light is true. They don't need anything like hearing both sides of a story, nor do they want to exam evidence nor use logical analysis. They KNOW the answers, because they read left wing blogs which tell them all they need to know.
I am skeptical, but would not rule out the possibility of a coverup but would need far more proof than what has been posted here to believe it.
