Adding to the mystery is something the Army Specialist told her family: if something happened to her in Afghanistan, they should look into it. She was concerned about things she was seeing over there, one of her eight brothers and sisters said in an interview. Canavan told the Quincy, Mass. Patriot Ledger on Wednesday that when her sister was home three weeks ago, she told her about something she had come across that raised some concern with her: "She was in the finance unit and she said, 'I discovered some things I don’t like and I made some enemies because of it.'" Canavan revealed that Durkin said if anything happened to her, to make sure it was investigated. "At the time we thought it was said more as a joke," Canavan told the paper. The family is also wondering whether Durkin's sexual orientation - she was gay - played a role in her death. "We just want full disclosure, that's all we want - to know what happened to our sister," Diedre Durkin said.
Huh.

Thanks for posting that, it certainly seems suspicious. 2 and 3 are valid points, based on what we know but I really get tired of this: quote:
1. Lavena Johnson was not a candidate for suicide, based on all of the accounts that described her personality, demeanor, her spirit, etc. None of that pointed to suicide. Also, she was nearing the time when she would be coming home and had been making plans with her family.
The fact is that apparently normal happy people kill themselves all the time. When they do, everyone goes "wow" never would have thought that. The rest though makes the case for suicide seem really doubtful.
