According to the report, she may have fallen off a cliff. That reminds me of a famous anthropologist, michelle rosaldo, who also was killed when she fell from a cliff somewhere in the cordilleras. rosaldo did work on ilonggots (sp). whether or not a fall is what killed campbell, the mountains in that area can be somewhat precarious and can never be taken lightly.
Hi Wil,
The report that she may have fallen was just a speculation by a police official; speculating is one thing that police authorities here love to do and which I really hate because it is not their job to speculate but to investigate and to bring out the facts.
Didn’t know about Rosaldo. Was it fairly recent? You’re right about our mountains being dangerous. Thanks.
How sad…my sympathies to her family. I followed your link to her blog. What a loss, she provided an interesting insight.
Rosaldo was killed in the 1980s. She had published a book on headhunting practices of the Ilonggots and was a rising star in anthropology at the time of her death. she’s not pinay. her spanish surname is from her husband, who is Mexican (I believe).
if she fell on a cliff her back pack should have been their..That is one of the theory of the police,and theories are their own opinion..
Hi JMom,
It is a loss indeed.
Wil,
Thanks for the info. It’s a timely reminder that we all face the risk of death which can indeed be a thief in the night.
Hi Nats,
That was one of the early theories of the police pero parang hindi ganun ang nangyari based on the evidence coming out.
Have to admit that it’s a shame for the Igoys that she was killed in Igorotlandia…
I wonder what was the motive of the suspect
I have read the story of Campbell. I feel so sorry for her. Too sad she was doing good work helping but she ended up in a tragic…
Kiss
