Farea sisters (duct taped "suicides") had filed abuse claim . Story is still absurd.

This article in the NY Post says that “there are reports of abuse [involving] the brother, the mother and the father that had been brought to our (NYPD) attention...This is in another jurisdiction, and this is sometime in the past.”

https://nypost.com/2018/11/02/sisters-went-on-massive-spending-spree-before-suicide-pact-cops/

*Shopping spree before you commit suicide? What do you buy? Clothes, makeup, furniture?
*Did the newspapers try to interview the brother? Where was he and who was he?
*The older sister was in IT. Wonder what she was studying? What colleges did she attend? Why are these simple details being hidden?

The NYPost hints that they took a number of Uber rides.

Once in the city, the sisters stayed in the kind of hotels where two very young women, traveling alone, would feel safe, including a Hilton, a Hyatt and the Knickerbocker. “It’s important to note, we have them recovered on video in apparently good health during this time,” Shea said. “As recently as a week before when they were discovered.”


As recently as a WEEK? So, they disappear from cameras for a WEEK, and this is reassuring? Why does the article describe them as “two very young women”? Age 16 perhaps, but age 22 is not normally called “a very young woman”. Why did they get returned to “a shelter” previously if the older one was over the age of 18?

This whole story reeks of a coverup or protection for someone.

Oddly, other articles indicate it was spring 2017 that she left, while this implies spring 2018.
