My girlfriend and I were discussing this and she seems to think it was some type of online dating gone bad. Don’t ask me why she thinks that. It is very puzzling.
I agree. Very sad.
The conspiracy theories popping up around his death are sad and disturbing. Let the family grieve in peace.
I’d be asking questions too if there were no evidence of depression or major issues. Normally, there are some signs.
When I read the stories, I sure get the impression there were “some signs.” The family hasn’t been specific about their conversations with him during the 24 hours prior to his disappearance, but they certainly seem to have known that something wasn’t right. I also don’t get the sense that the family is questioning the coroner’s determination. All of that makes me think that the police, the coroner, and the family have information they have not made public that supports the determination. Maybe that’s wrong, but that’s what I take from the stories.
I don’t think the fact that this is an intriguing case that turned into a national news story obligates them to broadcast everything about their deceased family member, or themselves for that matter. I’m for thinking this is a sad loss of a talented young man, and letting it be.
There are some very questionable details. The body was found in an area close to home that had already been thoroughly searched earlier.
He left work because he was feeling sick but then, when he got home, he suddenly went JOGGING alone with no ID, no phone, or anything? Who goes jogging when they are sick enough to leave work?
The father said in the Times that conversation didn’t feel right and that instinct made him drive 600 miles. A parent always knows when something isn’t right. If he had been depressed or given indications of distress that way, they would have said so. Cunningham’s friends and family describe him as “opinionated, positive and happy — and they noted his reliability,” NBC News reported. "He has this pristine service record and background, and then he’s also the guy you can call to help you move furniture or get together with you at a restaurant at the end of a long day,” David Calloway, a college friend, told NBC News. http://www.newsweek.com/cdc-timothy-cunningham-missing-821392
The initial report that he was passed over for a promotion were wrong. He was promoted. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/missing-cdc-worker-timothy-cunningham-promotion-last-summer/
What did the toxicology report show? Still don’t see anything on that.
Yeah, not quite so simple a case.
Friends and family don’t always know when someone’s depressed.
Chuckle, anyone who has been a boss for more than a couple of years knows a possible answer to this. It might be a variant of “I’m having eye trouble.”
