RELEASE THE SECURITY CAM FOOTAGE
I BET HER MOTHER IS THE ONE WHO KILLED HER
Nah she was too strong to commit suicide she was murdered
The police would not confirm suicide without over whelming evidence remember her note her chilling last post her hospital izationhermom confirming that she did suffer from mental illness and the surveillance cameras which would have picked up whatdedinatelyhappened
đDid she really kill herself, or did someone help her & cover it up w/ typed notes?
đTheres something the âinvestigation teamâ either didnât do or isnât telling us, given the sketchiness of the details reported, unless her privacy is just being protected. Story doesnât add up given her vitality & w/ us being left suddenly w/ just a one lined, typed letter about leaving âeverythingâ to her mom & an ambiguous Instagram post by the time her body is found crushed on the street. I heard no mention of important clues leading up to her demise that may have more clearly revealed how she went out. Iâm also surprised that there was so little coverage or pressure for police to investigate or at least comment on evidence supporting a suicide theory further. The minimal details thus far looks staged, and suggests a cover up. More time is typically spent combing though more trivial celeb cases (i.e. the Jussie Smolliet caseâI mean..Chicago PD produced street cam footage from all over town catching & covering the actions of all partipants leading up to the incident, & then more evidence was produced from their depositions down to bribery checks & private venue footage, etc. Why wasnât the same energy made to ensure they got the correct cause of death for our Miss USA???? So many people suspect that she was harmed or killed prior to her fall & that the latest findings (a crushed body w/ sketchy typed notes) are a cover up. It was already reported that no drugs or alcohol was involved, which may have been the last viable explanation for it all. Why arenât more questions being asked about this young womanâs death, like:
1. Who did she last talk to?
2. Did they ping her cell phone to determine just who she last called/called her?
3. Whereâs the cameras or security in this luxury high rise while a 9th FL resident is making her way to the 29th FL ledge? A cam or a guard could at least reveal if she was alone the whole time if not the entire scene leading up to her fall.
4. What about street cams? Any suspicious activity caught within a few hrs of her being found?
5. Her âletterâ about leaving stuff to her mom was short & TYPED. Did they dust the keyboard (or anywhere else in her apt) for fingerprints?
6. What was she wearing when found dead? Street clothes, PJs? The 29th FL is said to be a common area. Was there a gym or some other amenity there & was she dressed for that? That w/b a clue of whether or not she was on the floor w/a purpose vs forced from her apt. If the former, was anyone else around, & why didnât they stop her or call for help if they saw her climbing a ledge?
7. Who was around her? Any boyfriends or recent breakups? Any Frenemies? Or was she completely isolated?
8. Back to her bldg: how tight is the security there? Can anyone just walk up in there? If not, where are the guards & what did they see/what can they find in surveillance tapes? Weâre the guards changing shifts around the time she died, allowing someone to slip by? Were any âdeliveryâ persons allowed direct access to the floors?
9. Was she lured from her room or cornered at any point within the bldg to be forced off the ledge?
10. She spoke of feeling targeted & online bullies.
11. Meanwhile she was in very competitive arenas from the pageants (she was going for the Miss Universe title next), to her lines of work (law & television). Did someone put a hit out in her to âkillâ the competition? If so, sheâs not the first to receive a âhit,â (Check the Nancy Kerrigan vs Tonya Harding Olympics incident in around 1991). Meaning: It happens.
12. Itâs said that she was seen alone on the ledge, but how alone was she if someone saw her? Who was it that saw her? And howâd she access the ledge when NYC Highrise windows are usually locked for safetey? Who else was on the floor at the time? Itâs unlikely to me that people /random passers-by from street level would even be looking upward, long less able to identify & report on a person from that high up, & even less so pinpoint the floor she stood on/fell from w/o knowing more about the bldg, as residents or involved parties would. Iâm from that part of NYC where she diedâthose streets STAY busy, packed w/tourists, crazies, homeless people, high pedestrian traffic, & relentless vehicle traffic. Most people on street level are too busy looking str8 ahead or around themselves (on street level) to make sure no one picks their pockets as they all brush past each other while fighting for walking space on the sidewalks. Ainât nobody in the street lookin UP at the bldgs to see whoâs standing on a ledge. Except maybe some tourists unaccustomed to seeing tall bldgs, & even they would be unlikely to identify whoâs standing on a ledge that high up, long less name the floor, etc. SoâŠagain: who reported they saw Cheslie âaloneâ on a ledge, at what time, & where were they looking from when they saw her? And at what point was 911 called afyer her âjump?â
13. She revealed her âdaily routine/scheduleâ and a tour of her home onlineâan absolute safety no-no if youâre a public figure living alone in a big city & subject to being targeted. Anyone could have followed her or been waiting at or near her home to corner or harm her, & she & her fam (living out of state) c/b none the wiser til too late. Did the bldg cameras clearly show her voluntarily walking alone into an elevator, to ride up to a floor she didnât live on, to voluntarily enter into a balcony? Did the footage adequately show whether she was alone the entire time, and that she jumped vs our suspicions of her being carried, forced, or dumped over the ledge instead?
14. Sheâs an attorney. Most lawyers know that suicide nullifies insurance payouts, & leaving a letter or clue of any sort behind is unwise unless thatâs the intent. My reason for believing someone else posted her last (RIP) Social media mesg & typed that letter about leaving stuff to her mom for her, possibly in anticipation of or while she was dying. Extortionists and hitmen do that kind of stuff to cover their tracks.
15. I canât imagine someone who took as much pride & as good a care of her body, health, & appearance (in competition & in general) choosing such a violent way of dying, & one that would destroy her entire physical form. One would think she might want an open-casket funeral or to at least giver her family that optionâŠ.if her demise was calculated enough that she took the time to select such an appropriate photo & message to post as a goodbye online, why wouldnât as much thought be put into a less painful/messy/violent/destructive âway out,â as with as many other options one planning a suicide would have?
16. She & her fam are from out of state, & she may have been separated from them, w/ everyone likely naive of her surroundings, esp if she was isolated w/no one to be her eyes & ears in all her settings. She could have been followed for days & not realized it. Thereâs a YouTube clip or two of her shooting for Extra, & stopping her shoot to show exasperation w/ some creepy dude who followed her & her colleague. He exchanged words w/her when asked to leave. Was that someone she knew and/or was he crazy enuff to later come for her? Was he the only one following her like that in the streets, on & off duty? Add: she wasnât that hard to spot in a crowd w/her stature & signature (voluminous) hair.
Itâs frustrating that the police are always so quick to close a case & go w/the first or easiest assumption when people of color disappear or die (as done w/ Sandra Bland found hung in a jail cell after a wrongful arrest & for which her family eventually sued & won a million dollars for, meaning the precinct accepted faultâŠ. And then there are countless others who make the news long after theyâre dead if ever at all). At best theyâll check for drugs (to find an easy blame) & thatâs it.
This young woman was a national jewel w/a title representing the countryâwhy is her sudden death not the hottest news topic and drawing more questions??? đ
So many questions. So many stones left unturned in the investigation of her case. So unfair. So sad. đ„șđąđ
Suicided. Pushing the mental illness narrative. Be careful talking about depression, people will use it against you instead of trying to help. Sad world we live in. No one is to be trusted.
Who gives af I got to do doordAsh delivery to get a Starbucks
I'm fairly positive that the cause of death was the sudden stop at the ground level of her nyc highrise apt.
No it was not suicide they killed her. Hopefully they don't give finding the truth.
So sorry praying for the family Rip Cheslie
Her life. Her rules. RIP.
This is written by a current survivor of depression and suicidal behavior.. Don't get medicated with centraline or any other antidepressaant because even when that helps at the moment but it may affects you somehow negatively because a big number of patients treating depression with antidepressants commit suicide. There is no bigger help and better solution than meditate and wake up your higher consciousness. Empathy, strength, and joy are the answer… đ»
Rest in peace sweetness. This cruel world can't hurt you anymore.
Sounds about right
Sad her perfectionism drove her to such a sad end. Only God is perfect and she was living and having dreams and professional goals come true. What did her suicide note say?
So sad. RIP.
Hope more people look for and get help for depression.
So nobody ever told this girl about Jesus
My deepest condolences & respect to her family đ what can one say ?
She Did Not Commit Suicide! đđđ
Such a beautiful soul gone to soon RIP
why you want to end it ??? you could have gone to the gym and say fuck my demons i did that i am like you have a depression we could have talk it through
