When I don’t trust the official explanation

I don’t trust official explanations just because they are official.  The most common explanation I often trust.  But it is not always I do this.  To me the content determines if something is credible.  Does this work together with what I already know?  Where something came from does not matter much.  Conspiracy talkers anyway tend to have a faulty idea of where ideas come from.

One explanation I don’t trust is to Meriwether Lewis’ death.  He is claimed to have committed suicide.  The problem is Westerners of the time had so much poor grasp on the mind.  People could not tell the difference between psychosis and clinical depression.  Individuals behaving abnormally could be mistaken for suicide-prone.  Moreover there still exists a clothing item which he was wearing when he died.  It has traces of blood from two men which were not related on their fathers’ side.  As such there must have been a struggle between him and another man.  Which in turn means he must have been murdered.  He who said himself to have found him dead could very well have done it.  To verify this one has to find relatives on their father’s side to each of them.  Both have to accept getting their Y-chromosomes tested.  If so one can determine if it was he who had murdered him.

On the other hand we will never get to know who murdered Olof Palme.  The individuals put on the case were not competent to figure such out.  Because of their mistakes too much information was lost.  What is left is insufficient to identify the murderer.  That said I don’t think it was Stig Engström.  The murder weapon would not have fitted in the bag he used.  Had it been sticking out of his bag people would have noted that.
