What else would you expect from a paper that, was bailed out by Carlos Slim, a really good friend of Bill. Anything that might look bad for the CF. aint gonna run.

See video beginning at the 10:25 mark.
Some quotes (in the order they were made):
"She seemingly took her own life by hanging."
"But since that time things that have come to light that just don't fit with Monica's life and her personality. When she went there 10 weeks ago, she was happy, she was up, she was motivated ... and so we don't know. What happened? What changed, so much?"
"Her family, her friends, her colleagues, just don't see this as being her. And yes, she was upset by some of her personal living conditions in Haiti, but she dealt with similar conditions in other countries. She knew she could leave and no one would place blame on her."
"So, we don't want to deny or blame as a family, but none of this seems to fit her. And maybe that's just the way it's always going to be."
"We will likely always have more questions than answers, about, about what transpired in that time."
Although females attempt suicide at a higher rate, they are more likely to use methods that are less immediately lethal. Males frequently complete suicide via high mortality actions such as hanging, carbon-monoxide poisoning, and firearms. This is in contrast to females, who tend to rely on drug overdosing.[14] While overdosing can be deadly, it is less immediate and therefore more likely to be caught before death occurs.

What I'm most interested in now is the organization Free the Slaves which is associated with the Human Trafficking Center in Colorado. Rex Hamaker[emphasis added by j&c], a colleague of Monica's, who testified with her in front of the Colorado Senate, and Claude d'Estree, her professor at the Korbel School, are both associated with Free the Slaves. Rex has posted several articles on the Free the Slaves website, and Claude appears to be a big promoter of it as well. This article describes how Claude met Jolene Smith, the CEO of Free the Slaves in Colorado:
d’Estree came to DU as a law professor in 2002. That year he attended a talk in Boulder by a woman named Jolene Smith. Speaking in behalf of a human trafficking awareness group called Free the Slaves, Smith didn’t pull any punches.
There were, she said, more slaves now than at any other time in human history; an estimated 23 to 27 million worldwide. Upwards of 17,000 were being trafficked into the US every year. ‘She told us that 50 to 100,000 human beings in this country are doing hard labor, or working in the commercial sex trade without pay and against their will,’ d’Estree says. ‘Human trafficking is 2nd only to drugs in terms of illicit profitability. I realized I had to do something about it.’
Back at DU, he established the ‘Task Force on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking,’ which brings together people from different disciplines to work on the issue. Then in 2008, he set up the only two- year graduate training program on human trafficking in the US.
Free the Slaves, apparently, works extensively on the ground in Haiti, and has a very glitzy website: www.freetheslaves.net...
HOWEVER, Free the Slaves, I've just discovered, is also a member of the Clinton Global Initiative. www.clintonfoundation.org...
Two CGI members, Polaris Project and Free the Slaves, have each made 2014 Commitments to Action that are examples of such collaborative and scalable approaches.
The question I have is, though, isn't it a HUGE conflict of interest to have an organization like Free the Slaves ostensibly investigating and helping people who are being victimized by sweatshops and slave labor in a Clinton Foundation project like Caracaol Industrial Park when Free the Slaves is a member of the Clinton Global Initiative?
I don't know if Monica was involved in the Free the Slaves organization in Haiti, but it seems like a very good possibility, given the fact that the Human Trafficking Center in Denver had close ties with it. It's worth looking into, I believe.

If her mom can move forward...on...with no answers, then I just can't help but wonder of she is fearful of losing anyone else by pushing.
That would be the only thing that might stop me from digging and digging and digging....my other kiddos.
