Let's start with a general overview, right from CTV itself.

I think this is a wonderful idea, but I don't know if the forum is a proper venue.

I think many things discussed could be misconstrued as attacking the victim or as an attempt to demean the witness, when in reality it would be nothing more than a factual look at risks, behaviors and lifestyle.

Also, there seems to be few details (often conflicting) regarding Tara's life out in the public.

It's the marriage of what everyone knows that will portray an accurate victimology.

For example, family members may have seen certain behaviors or personality traits that coworkers never saw (and vice versa). Her students may perceive her in a different manner. Paramours may have different insights.

The investigative agency will be privy to all of that information and can do an accurate victimology.

I'm afraid we won't get the full picture and may do more (perceived) harm than good by doing it in the open like this.

I have slowly begun gathering information from different people that knew Tara and I'm already getting different perceptions by different people. I just don't think I will be able to get enough input to be thorough.

But, an excellent idea. I'll be more than happy to share my analysis offline.

I can move it to the General Crime Forum if you like. Just let me know. Then you can discuss generalities like victimoligy there.\

I've given this more thought and I agree with BFD that victimology can not be done on the board in this case.

This thread need not exist here, thank you for offering to move it HH2O.

Done!
