Yet how do we know Tammy was with Stukel when she
died? (This question follows up yesterday's entry.)

Physical evidence indicates that Tammy was dead by 12:35
a.m. on the night in question. Eric Stukel testified that he
was still with her at this time (that he was at home
"making love" to her) which presents quite the paradox.

How could Eric Stukel be with Tammy at the time of her
death and not be involved in her death? And if he had
nothing to do with her death, what on earth was her body
doing in his trunk? And if he wasn’t responsible for her
death, if there
was some freak accident that presented to
pathologists exactly like a homicide (which is highly
doubtful,) why on earth wouldn't Stukel simply admit as
much when charged with Manslaughter 3?

The questions go on and on…

Bottom line: Tammy had defense wounds on her hand and
arms. In other words, she was attacked. No other physical
or circumstantial evidence links anybody else to Tammy’s
murder – Eric Stukel is our only suspect.  

Despite the rumors that still persist, pathologists did rule
Tammy’s death homicide, and though inadmissible in
court, Eric Stukel did fail a polygraph when asked if he
killed Tammy.

More often than not, the assailant’s use of drugs and
alcohol, not the victim’s, is the contributing factor in most
homicides.

Eric Stukel did testify that he was under the influence of
drugs and alcohol on the night in question.

When Stukel was arraigned in 1995, he was ordered by
the court to abstain from alcohol and drugs and be
regularly tested. A few months later, he was arrested for
possession of marijuana while awaiting trial and was sent
to drug treatment.

If multiple sources are correct, that treatment was a
complete farce. If anybody had (or has) a great deal of
problems with drugs and alcohol, it was (and is) Eric
Stukel and his party pals.

Bottom line…

All the physical and circumstantial evidence indicates
that Tammy was a victim of violence and was in no way
responsible for her own death.

Yet, bewilderingly, rumors still persist to the contrary.
