Too bad to hear. You wonder what (if any) underlying issues she had going on that lead up to this very avoidable demise? Otherwise, from the outside looking in, it appears she just let her own lust take her life.

This lady was one day away from retirement. One day away from a new journey in life. This is just another example, the power of love!
I guess she wasn't that intelligent...trying to hide inside the U.S. with a guy that large.

It's a curious thing. Make a one man weep, make another man sing.


She had to have some mental illness that contributed to things. It's unfortunate.

I don't even know if her issues were tied to mental illness– I mean something was off, but not to the point of her not knowing right from wrong or thinking she's Napolean Bonaparte or something.

I've known a few folks over the years that took their own lives...

And I wouldn't say they had a mental illness– More of a mental weakness if that makes any sense.

There's simply some part of their lives they can't cope with and it causes them to do questionable things with the most extreme being the taking of their own life– the prison escape was just a notch or two below that.

I figured she would not come out alive, but I didn't think it would be because of suicide.
Yep. It seems the common assessment was him, someone guilty of already killing someone, would turn on her, the person who freed him, and murder her too. I am truly in the minority of those who thought they might be captured together or separately but that he would not kill her.

It seemed to me all the "befuddlement" about what she did, that was spoken by people who knew her, described someone who was intelligent and well-centered. That had me thinking she did an adequate assessment of her personal safety despite her emotional attachment to him.

People acknowledged observing her visiting and doing things for him but never thought anything was "odd enough" to be concerned. Typically, a person's face says much about what they are thinking at any given moment.

Obviously, no one saw any sort of lovesick puppy look about her at any point. Was she a person so mentally focused that her internal emotions never surfaced for co-workers, friends and family to see? Or was she a person who simply wanted to experience something "normal" with a person she had assessed as a non-threat to her own well-being? Smart people have been known to do incredibly stupid things. To me, she fits that description but I never got the impression she was dumb enough to get herself killed by the same person she broke out of jail.

I'd have to conclude that she was having major issues distinguishing right from wrong.

It's possible that the prisoner was able to, in effect, brainwash or hypnotize her. That would make the most sense.

I don't think the ramifications of what she had done fully hit her until they were being chased by the cops. Then, she must have decided that she couldn't live with the guilt.

I feel bad for her mother.

I don't think it was the guilt she was escaping. It was the consequences and the judgement from people she knew.
That's right in line w/ what I was thinking.

Hey, she worked in the prisons, she full well knew what was coming. Maybe she was just tired of the grind of everyday life, and decided to go out w/ a boom. Hard to say, hard to get inside her psyche. However, there was just no way she didn't know the ending. Everyone keeps saying she was intelligent, that pretty much means this is the ending she planned.

She knew what she was doing, i.e. the prison breakout was wrong.

She for one reason or another couldn't cope with her mental reality and decided the wrong wasn't wrong enough not to do it.

She had a "lottery ticket buyer's hope" that she and her boyfriend were going to get away.
