I generally suspect that police were misled about the death of Gina Hutchinson.
She may have been mentally distressed and she may have committed suicide.
But I think it is entirely possible that one of Keith Raniere’s women lied to the police about the reason she was upset. They may have even posed as family members to mislead police.
if she committed suicide [and that is a BIG ‘If’], she was probably led to it, or knowingly pushed into it by Keith Raniere.
His followers may have also sent letters and personal items to Gina’s family in Gina’s name to make them think she was more mentally disturbed than she was in reality.
Now, here is something of a discrepancy: It may be nothing – or it may be significant:
The Woodstock PD report on the discovery of the body of Gina Hutchinson says Woodstock police were prompted to look for her based on a “missing person report” filed with the Colonie, NY Police. Investigator Vittale informed Woodstock Police that they were told that Gina Hutchinson was upset because “her mother had just died.”
Just died? Gina’s mother died two and one half [2.5] years earlier.
The date of Gina’s death was October 9, 2002. Her body was found on October 11, 2002 near a pond in the woodlands in Woodstock, NY.
But her mother had not “just died”. Her mother died on April 16, 2000 [two and one half years earlier.]
Here is the death notice in the Troy Record of April 18, 2000 for Gina’s mother:
