If she wasn't dead and the parents had her there were just way too many things they could have found out from examining her, even without her regaining her speech. I become more and more convinced those CAT scans we saw were faked or from another patient. She was probably only moderately disabled. Murder most foul. Redrum. Redrum. I'm sorry Mrs. Torrance, but Danny isn't here anymore.
Given that a number of doctors have indicated that the CAT scans were not nearly as bad as Cranford et al. have claimed, why would it be necessary to fake them?

THAT makes a lot of sense. Otherwise why wouldn't MS to allow new MRIs, CAT scans, PET scans and whatever anyone wanted, if he was so sure she was so terribly brain damaged?
I agree totally with your other assessment too:
"If she wasn't dead and the parents had her there were just way too many things they could have found out from examining her, even without her regaining her speech."
This is the only explanation that makes sense, otherwise, why not just divorce Terri, let her parents have her and go on with his life.
