I've found it helpful to get perspective to go back and review timelines. There shouldn't have been a 'body possession hearing' at all. Virgie, as the mother of an unmarried daughter, was there to claim her daughter and her grandbaby, and go home to contemplate her death. First HK, then LB, filed their own separate claims, HK for his own reasons, and LB for DNA testing. Two separate judges refused to hear custody/paternity. In the meantime, Anna's father, Don Hogan, turned up to view his daughter's body and pay his last respects at the ME's office, and was turned away, as not being 'on the list'. Sadly, he was unable to travel to the Bahamas for the funeral. The judge should have swabbed Anna's cheek, given the body to the mother, and called it a day. (IMO) In one way, it ws a good thing to have the hearing, because it gave the mother boo-koo amunition to go after at least civil charges; in another, it was a time for TMI, that could have been addressed after the funeral, with a judge, who hadn't made back-room deals not to pursue certain topics.

The only relevance timeline has in my opinion of Virgie is that the hearing on ‘body possession’ was the first time I had ever seen or heard her.
