Well I’m not trying to excuse her behavior. There’s plenty of crazy people who never do evil things and she can be held accountable. But her ex mentions says that something traumatic happened in Korea and she came back very different. She’s the right age for sudden onset or acute schizophrenia and bizarre behavior can be one symptom.
They planned it out over quite a span of time.
Does not sound like a sudden freak out, to me.
And even if she was utterly certifiable, her freak of a lover could have stopped her, but no, he was laughing it up, right along with her.
It’s a long walk to the middle of nowhere in the woods.
Plenty of time to snap out of it and change your mind.
Her ‘best friend’ is saying she only had the dog ‘certified’ as a support dog so she could keep him in the no-dogs apartment...and for nothing else.
