I’ve been quiet on this thing all night, but I need to stop.

First, the fact that the attacker was said to be 6’4” accounts for the “backwards” B. It’s already been mentioned that it could be upside down, but if the attacker is taller the natural writing movement will produce a backwards B.

Second, “down to the bone” is not something that typically occurs in any sort of slashing. In fact, I’d doubt any member of law enforcement would say that. The cheek is comprised primarily of soft fatty tissue, with only the upper cheekbones providing a bony surface (not cut in the victim’s pictures). As a relatively thick and fatty substance, cheeks have a lot of “give” and will not easily slice with knives.

While you and the vast majority of conveniently-just-joined-to-complain trolls will say she’s somehow only seeking attention, the fact remains that there are plenty of logical explanations for this that do not point towards self-mutilation.

I was just pointing out what others had said and really hadn't made up my mind, but in your case, I'll play devil's advocate - if there is "a lot of give" in that area, in your words, then why would the "B" look so neat? I've carved a lot of turkeys in my time, and any time there is "a lot of give" in an area, it get very difficult to keep a consistent line, curved or straight. If I had been angry, it would have been very difficult to keep a consistent line, curved or straight.

Yes, it was very convenient of me to join 10 years ago and then again six years ago when I created another account (after having spent a few years overseas with limited internet access). I was so bored waiting for this one thread, I posted several thousand times over the last six years.

Even her local police department thinks things are a little weird, and her case is not helped by her blog postings after the attack.
