One of the most pervasive pieces of disinformation going around right now with regards to the passing of Lorissa McComas is the very place of her end. If you visit the wikipedia page dedicated to her (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorissa_McComas), you will see Melbourne, Florida listed as her last place of residence. While it is true that she had established residency in Florida going back to the early 2000s so she could care for her terminally ill mother, but by 2004 she was spending more time living in Waverly, Virginia. She had established official residency in Virginia in 2006, not too long after having asked her then husband Doug Taylor for a divorce (which he agreed to, though he never completed the paperwork once he received it), and gave him the house in Melbourne (which he subsequently lost to foreclosure).
The primary reason for her leaving Florida was the nature of the life that she had down there, which was one of emotional torment and neglect, encouraged and perpetuated by her so-called husband. This information has been provided to me by David Keeter, the man responsible for moving her away from Florida, and also arguably the only person in Lorissa's life after her parents' passing that truly cared for her. Upon first discovering these facts, the author of this blog took them on instant trust, as the source came off as completely genuine. However, given that a healthy amount of skepticism should always be employed when dealing with new information, a video has been put together to document David's proof for his association with Lorissa that can be seen at the link below.

Contained within this video is a voice-mail greeting featuring Lorissa's voice which is near impossible to mistake for anyone else, along with letters accounting an affectionate correspondence between Lorissa and David. It speaks also to a woman who was emotionally stable and had a lot of hope for the future, in direct contrast to the picture that everyone has of a poor little china doll who fell apart under the stress of losing her parents. In short, it speaks to a woman who had no reason to take her own life. It also speaks to a woman who was just a little too trusting and was routinely taken advantage of by those who claimed to care about her, including potentially her own brother Rennit who very well could have been stealing Lorissa's methadone medication to get high with, utterly indifferent to the physical harm that it was causing by denying her a smooth way out of a nasty addiction to oxy contin which was not of her making.
Contrary to what other blogs covering her life have claimed, the truth regarding Lorissa's life is known to some, and it will be known to the rest in due time. In the coming days I will be doing official responses to the "A Joe's Eye View" accounts of Lorissa's life to correct some erroneous facts and also to fill in a lot of gaps and answer the many questions that have lingered due to the unreliability of his sources, though his intentions appear to be that of a genuine journalist looking to get the right story. I will also be attempting to do a live interview with David Keeter on youtube/Google+ to get his full account of Lorissa's life out in the near future. This is indeed a tragic story, but also one that has some inspirational parts to it, especially insofar as David's part in all of this. Thank you for reading and please stay tuned for further updates.
