That’s the most obvious explanation but we’ll have to wait for the autopsies and ballistics to see if that’s what happened or if it was staged to look like a murder-suicide.

It just doesn’t seem likely that a 20-year-old, even one on drugs, would empty a gun into a man twice her size yet save the last bullet for herself. Most girls that age don’t own a gun and don’t know how to use one.

Then there’s the chirpy ex-boyfriend who may have resented losing the girl he claimed to have lived with for four years (and they apparently both moved to Nashville from Jacksonville together) to a rich black superjock almost twice their age. I haven’t crossed him off the suspect list just yet. He watched the love of his life disappear to someone he couldn’t possibly compete with so perhaps this was his way of getting even.

And we have the anonymous story of McNair being threatened in a restaurant.

Murder/suicide seems to be the most plausible explanation but we’ll know if it is the right one if the autopsies and ballistics conclude it is.

This Facebook photo republished by "Sports by Brooks" may be of evidentiary value. Did she take a picture of herself in a mirror? Or did someone else take it? If she took it herself, she's righthanded (nobody uses a camera with their less-dominant hand). If this was somebody else's photo, then she's lefthanded. All that matters because if there was a suicide involved, no doubt the hand used to pull the trigger had to be the same hand that was holding the camera in this photo. Odd to me that someone would take a photo of themselves and post it on their facebook page when it is not a very flattering photo but, then, I don't understand a lot of what goes on with facebook and myspace pages. I just can't tell if this is a mirror photo or not.

Yes...of course you are right. I'm just not figuring her ex for a genius able to make it look like a murder-suicide. I'm still betting on that; also, she is someone who looks like she might have known how to handle a weapon.

But, as you say, we need to wait...
