We have only one story here, and it is not from the Navy man or his roommate. The only one telling the story is the strange woman that he brought home.

That's not necessarily true. Forensics, blood spatter, GSR testing (gun shot residue) all could tell the story that the gun was in his hand when it fired a bullet into his head. It's also possible that the woman had zero blood on her and she had zero time to clean it off had it been as the roommate entered the room immediately after hearing the shot.

I considered the possibility that the woman could have been lying and it's certainly possible that some of her story is untrue. It's also possible that the investigators are inept. Anything is possible. Apparently, forensics tell a story that meshes with hers.

One more thing. Are you familiar with the two deaths that occurred in Coronado last year? Many believe the real story in those deaths has not been told and that the police bungled the investigation. The same police investigated this scene/incident so their conclusions are probably equally as suspect.

I have never heard of a firearms accident that was not occasioned by a failure to obey one or more of the Golden Rules of firearms safety. Not one.

I would hope that the forensics are consistent with the woman's story. I was saying that the forensics need to be done thoroughly and competently, as well as the interviews with the woman, roommate, and associates.

Are you familiar with the other story? It’s been said investigators botched that investigation. I don’t know if that is true or not but their ability to conduct a thorough investigation has been called into question. Then there was the recent murder suicide of the navy pilots and others in Coronado also. Their work is being scrutinized as it should.
