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.

Oh I agree. Tons of ways she could have done it without including the daughter in it. That's what makes it so bizarre. And that's why I think there is way more to the story, especially the relationship between mother and daughter. There had to be a bunch of hate involved.

Maybe the mother planned to just kill herself. And in some freak way the daughter got brought into it.
