Unless a family member alerted the police, there probably wasn't an investigation done at the time.

I think the family was too worried about Terri and naive about Michael. They probably didn't have any idea of the previous injuries Terri may have sustained according to the bone scan. I think this bone scan was taken a year after the injuries. Perhaps the doctor who took the bone scan thought the injuries were already looked into. The medical records were sealed to the family for 10 years.

It's only later when they start putting the pieces together that they probably realized that Terri was likely the victim of spousal abuse and attempted murder.

Like most abuse victims, she was probably too embarrased to say anything. Terris wasn't going to be a doormat though. She planned to divorce Michael according to her friend and her brother.

Here's what I was told at the vigil: The police DID go by the home of Bob Schindler Sr to ask him if he had any suspicion of foul play or abuse. This after they'd been called to the ER by apparently suspicious ER personnel. Mr. Schindler, being the kind person he is, couldn't fathom it at the time . . . told them "no". . . I don't know what happened to the investigation after this, why it was not pursued. I'm hoping someone can shed light on this.

I wonder what's in the medical records of her visit. And will it come out at this late date, considering that fellos was able to intimidate area physicians last Tues? I was told that the cardiac enzymes were not elevated.

By the way, Michael Schiavo did NOT immediately call 911 as he told Larry King -- he called Terri's father first. Terri's father had to tell him to call 911 -- and then called Bobby Jr., who lived nearby at same apt complex as Terri. When Bobby got there, Terri had NOT been moved -- none of this "died in my arms" crap, Terri was still face-down in her secretions. Sorry, Terri!

I want to hear Bobby say this himself on national TV.

You have a good point raised in that most abuse victims tend to hide the abuse from everyone, especially their family members, due to shame.
