That's the best they can come up with??? This was a very special and unique person. I hope there will be some real answers!

I heard it was foul play as she was out there two weeks.

Yes something with this story just does not add up, sounds like a rich Doctor was up to something, to me anyway.

[this is deplorable]

It's kind of a shame that those college girls get investigations and no one seems to give a damn about her. I also heard she was alcoholic. I have family in McKenzie.

Tina wasn't an alcoholic. I knew her for a long time and worked with her as a storyteller. She was amazing. This is a very sad end to a very talented life. I haven't seen her for a few years, but when I saw her last, she and her husband weren't having any trouble. This whole thing smells like foul-play was involved. She apparently was out there, in her car, in the warm TN November weather, for nearly 3 weeks. I hate to think how her son come upon that car and the sight inside - you know he was hoping to find his mother alive and well... Very sad indeed.

I didnt know her,but her husband is a very nice doctor. i dont think he has done any harm to her. He saves lives and not take lives.

I used to have winkler as my doctor and logan as my attorney (I lived in Henry County). I can't imagine Winkler doing anything to her, but Logan... he is certainly corupt. He never did a thing with my case as I requested to back out and he kept $3500 of mine and never did a thing.

I think its sad what has happened in any case and I hope they are able to get to the bottom of this.

Also, I wonder if her car was planted there. It makes no sense that he was looking for her and she was on their property the entire time. He either had to know or it was planted. Missing since November, that is a very long time to not find her on your own property...

Looks a tad bit funny to me.

The Winklers live in the country on lots of acres - mostly wooded. It's possible for her car to have gone unseen there. Why was she parked out there? There was no road. You don't go 4-wheeling in a PT Crusier. It's been over a year since she was discovered and there's no new evidence and no known cause of death. Whomever killed her has gotten away with it. I don't know Volker (Dr. husband) very well, but I wouldn't rule him out as a suspect until there's more proof it wasn't him. This is a tragedy.

I saw Tina only once after I left Kodaikanal School in India (69-70). I stayed as a guest in her rural McKenzie area home for a week in the summer of 1974. She had 6 beautiful children & a loving, gentle husband whom she adored & who seemed to adore her, as well. Tina was always an exceptionally unique, very special person. I just learned of her death of November 07, sixteen months after it happened by pure chance from the Internet. I have been searching the Internet for the cause of her death & haven't found anything. It's so hard to believe that this wonderful person is no longer among us. She was so very special.

Nothing new has been discovered in over a year. Chances are whoever murdered Tina has gotten away with it. They won't be caught unless they give themselves up or reveal it to someone else.
It's very sad and extremely upsetting.
