Davina Buff Jones

First time posting, long time listener...I have some issues with this episode. It's heartbreaking what happened to Officer Jones but it really does seem like suicide.

Ashley played the audio from Jones at the beginning but never really used to it make a case for murder or suicide, yet I think it offers some of the best clues to what happened that night. If there were really three men with one having a gun then how did she end up shot by her own weapon? Wouldn't they have used their gun to kill her?

My simple theory, Davina Jones seemed to be suffering some mental health problems. I think the insurance probably played a part in her trying to establish that three men had a gun. She might have hoped to give her family something back through the course of her death. It wouldn't be the first time an officer took their life in this fashion. The blood was transferred by her partner, who even said he was taking up a defensive position. His behavior is easily explained as an officer who probably didn't have a whole lot of experience with active shooter situation and was "Hollywood-ing". The police did a sloppy job but I don't think any of it was malicious.

The paramedics were working with what they had. A place that can only be accessed by a ferry tells you that sometimes things are going to be done differently than a big town.

I really don't like making these theories without more but it also was driving me crazy that they didn't try to approach from both sides. And honestly that should be how it is done when you don't have anything to work with. Even placing a hint of doubt or suspicion on anyone for this tragedy is really shameful, dangerous, and malicious. Without more than what was presented, it seems dubious to draw a conclusion.

Many families often have a hard time accepting the suicide of someone. It usually involves lots of introspection and wondering if it was your fault or if you could have done anything. Sometimes it just easier to blame it as something else, murder, than coming to terms with the event.

Sorry for the rant. Don't know if anyone else felt the same way.
