She is definitely a shady lady who apparently kinda malingers, avoids responsibility and probably wouldn't take kindly to losing her caretaker. Plus, we all saw how shit she was at hiring a hitman, so that's out too. I think Conway checks all the boxes for prime suspect, but if she was still not that far out of recovery from a brain tumor surgery, I can't see how she could physically commit that crime either. When Conway claimed Ali said 'don't touch that, it's a crime scene,' that really made me pause regarding Ali, but I wouldn't put it past Conway to embellish or misrepresent what she said in that moment. They were essentially in an emotional-vampire cage match for Barbara's undivided attention and probably drove that poor woman crazy with the constant turmoil, so she asked the grown-ass woman who is fighting her unstable teenage daughter to leave and take care of herself for once. Unless they throw yet another evidence twist at us regarding her, I can't in good conscience say she's a legitimate suspect.Īlso, OF COURSE her and Conway hate each other. When she said some things I've heard come out of his mouth before, I felt that familiar pit in my stomach that tells me not to trust this person and I thought 'nah, mom pissed her off and she split on her, flew into a rage and killed her, then cooled off and went to school.' However, no evidence has been presented so far other than some anecdotes and opinions from a prime suspect with a dead alibi and a bone to pick. For me, it's probably some personal projection from having been in a very abusive relationship with this man with BPD. I was irked by her in the same way most seem to have issues with Conway, but I think we all can do that in the true crime world based on our experiences. Having been on the receiving end of those raging episodes myself, I can honestly say there were a few times where he was so uncontrollable that it crossed my mind 'I better do what he wants because I think he might kill me.' An hour later, he's snuggling me and asking what bar we should go to for dinner that night. I feel for kids who grow up this way and the unreal amounts of damage it does to their psyche for the rest of their lives, but the sad truth is that it also hijacks their impulse control and emotional regulation. She becomes rebellious and prone to abusive outbursts when that attention wanes. It manifested in her having a breakdown and then essentially malingering for the nurturing attention she didn't get before.

If you look out how it develops in their childhood, hers was a perfect recipe for that disorder. I already was thinking she had BPD the moment she was talking about her upbringing. If you mean 'sister' as in Ali, it's very complicated for me to say. Ooof, I have so many thoughts, so just remember you asked for it lol Related Subs and Links: The Crime Newsroom Discord /r/UnresolvedMysteries /r/RedditCrimeCommunity /r/ColdCases Directory of Crime Subreddits Crime Custom Feed
