All the strange deaths and threats, you mention above Adele, I'd agree with. However, if we stay afraid and paralized (as they want us to be) we make no progress and we remain in slavery. Not all can or will chose to do battle and much of it will be of the Don Quixote variety (in the level of its effect), but try - those of us who dare - must. I couldn't read from Cokie's voice if it was fear of just really thinking any idea of foul-play was insane - what did surprise me was he seeming disinterest to even discuss the strange death of her father. So it goes....
Peter,
It is hard to say what Cokie Robert's reasons were for not wanting to talk about her father's death. It could have been fear or not wanting to think that he might have been murdered, or both. Or her feeling uncomfortable speaking about her father with someone not well known to her. All of these factors might be applicable.
In the case of the Stockdale family, the children were angry for the longest time at their father because they thought he had actually committed suicide, and hence had deserted them. When the investigator convinced them that he had been murdered, they were able to accept this, restoring their positive and warm feelings toward their father.
Some threats to family members could involve such things as threats to the lives and welfare of their own children, nephews, nieces, and so on. That could provide a powerful motive to not speak out. I can certainly understand that from my own experiences.
