View Full Version : Cases involving mental breakdowns?
SheRaaa 01-16-2012, 03:23 PM I've noticed there are quite a few cases on UM that involve someone (often a missing person or the victim of a crime) having a mental breakdown or psychological meltdown of some sort, making them extra-vulnerable to predators, the elements, suicide, etc. These cases always make me so sad...I can think of a few cases where it seems like there was a "breakdown" involved:
-Patricia Meehan
-Kristi Krebs
-Gail Delano
-David Stone
-Leah Roberts, potentially
Any others? :(

scc1222 01-17-2012, 05:31 AM Blair Adams,Kristi Krebs and Tammy Leppert would be my top 3.possibly Justin Bergwinkle,to some extent,idk,not firm on that one.
FarinaforBrkfast 01-17-2012, 06:22 AM Kristi Krebs is a definite, as she was institutionalized for a mental breakdown/Psychotic episode.
Blair Adams and Tammy Leppert are looking that way.
RobinW 01-17-2012, 10:37 AM While there's no evidence of this, I've always wondered if all the strange details in the Aileen Conway case (the iron left on, the tub full of water, the garden hose running into the pool) were the result of her having an unexplained mental breakdown, prompting her to leave the house and drive out into the middle of nowhere before her fatal car crash.

That is definitely possible, but how would her car have caught on fire while she was driving it?

Well, that's what so great about this mystery: no theory is perfect.

Ahh yes, can't believe I forgot about all those! Good ones!
owenrock 01-17-2012, 03:36 PM The Cindy James case is indeed one that could be looked at many different ways. I for one think that she was murdered based on the key fact that when she was dead her hands were tied behind her back. But the events leading up to her death seem kinda fishy. Its baffling for sure
UMFaninMD 01-17-2012, 07:02 PM Although there's no real evidence, Dottie Caylor. If I were married to a husband like Jule, I'd probably go insane. There's also the fact she had agoraphobia, what's not to say she had a breakdown while being out in public on her own, if she indeed did leave?
scc1222 01-18-2012, 02:15 AM yes I forgot about John Cheek,if he wasn't a victim of foul play,that is.not firm on that one though.I just get the feeling,from seeing the pic of his car parked on the bridge,that he parked it there for a reason,and that was to jump.If he did, then it's a case of his body not being found,IMO.

I agree. I think Cheek had some sort of mental breakdown over the possibility of a real estate deal he was working on falling through and jumped off the bridge where his car was found.

I agree the subconscious can be so deceptive.
