I read another reader comment that hit home with me. The commenter speculated that Guyger lost her shit and killed Botham because of noise. She lived directly one floor below him.
When I first moved to the city, I lived on the third floor. Alone. I'm not heavy and worked all the time in San Jose back then. STILL, the guy in the apartment below me always complained about me walking around, playing music (low), running my dishwasher on the weekend.....you know, being alive basically.
He was a nutjob and pounded on my door and screamed at me several times when highly intoxicated. I think he was pissed enough to shoot me if he'd had a gun one of those times.
I'm not saying the noise theory is the mostly likely one, but it's a possibility I hadn't considered.
Next time stuff a sock behind the headboard.
