[IBHUNG]

I don't think you read the whole story. There wasn't going to be any orientation. The daughter thought she was going to UT this fall, but the mom made the whole thing up. She wasn't enrolled at UT and had never even applied to UT.

I read it. However, she could have let her daughter belive and then when she was confirmed "out of town", she could ahve carried out the suicide. The daughter would have returned home at the news, or because she wasn't listed at the orientation. Either way the daughter wouldn't fell victim to the death, or finding the mother.
