Comment Similar to the Jessica Kalish murder (Score 1) 89

in 2009 software exec Kalish was murdered by her wife Carol Burger, and put into the trunk of her car which was left a few miles from their home. The Kalish family when talking to police emphasized their suspicions that Burger was responsible, but there was a lot of delays until police finally entered the blood soaked home, to find Burger had shot herself.

We also have the example of Reiser. And so many others.

While it would be very bad to pursue the husband while ignoring other leads, we need a better mechanism for this rare situation.

"Thus, the hypothesis that the propagation of neural activity can be carried out solely by electric fields is consistent with experimental data as well as computer simulations. The fact that the speed of the propagation remains constant under different experimental conditions can be explained by the presence of an electric field effect associated with neural firing generated by the network configuration and not by the properties of individual cells. This electrical field effect is revealed when synaptic transmission is blocked and both pathologic and normal propagation can exist simultaneously with field effect governing short range or local propagation, where synaptic transmission may govern long-range propagation and communication."
