Skepticism on Army's conclusion that Durkin death was suicide

It is times like these that blogging becomes a bit worth it's independence from traditional media. With our separation comes the freedom to speculate and voice dissent.

This is an update to the Ciara Durkin story, which I have written about several time on this blog. (Past posts here.) The US Army has informed the Durkin family that their daughter, Corporal Ciara Durkin, had died because of suicide.

I don't believe it for a second. It just doesn't add up. I am skeptical and I think that the Army is covering something up. Though there's nothing concrete for me to "prove" this, it is of note that she said that if she were to die, be suspicious. Also, she had called her brother to wish him a happy birthday on the day she died. Such every day behavior on a day that she was to die by her own hand is hard to reconcile. There are so many things that leave an unsettling feeling in this story.

Here are links to the stories:

New England Cable News

Washington Post

And a link to the family's website dedicated to Ciara. At the bottom of this page is the statement about the Army's report.
