I felt like: Wow, if I had known this sooner, I could have been getting more information in the beginning and not eight months later, where I feel like some of this information is now lost.

Police found MacDougall, 37, dead at her home while performing a wellness check on March 11. When they broke the news to her family, Bates says they indicated she could have died of suicide, or an accidental overdose. (MacDougall previously had a problem with drug use, but her sister doesn t believe it could be a factor in her death.)
