IÔm pages behind [:0] so sorry if this goes back a bit ...
Midnight Rambler
I agree that the "Ed was telling the truth" is the simplest of the two. I never met Ed, know basically nothing about him, but he is incommunicado even with people who know him well. He did insert himself into the investigation by contacting the police and that is not always innocent. Also he contacted them before Brittany had been IDÔd. I am curious whether the coconut telegraph had identified her before that, maybe because of the tattos. Anyone from there know? I know the parents had figured it out, but donÔt know what Ed had heard.
I donÔt think it had to be a super complex conspiracy.
As someone else speculated to me, say there are at least two guys who come to the campsite to make trouble. Two minimum to handle two people. Brittany might try to leave and was attacked, which would explain her being 300 feet from the tent.
A couple disappearing or killed causes a big stink, so itÔs best if one appears to have killed the other and either run off or suicide. Most people I knew expected all along that the blame would be placed on Bo one way or the other. Either suicide or the fugitive who is never seen again who has been thrown in the puka. The motive for separating them in death is pretty simple, to prevent an investigation that would find they were both murdered by a third party, who is simply trying not to get caught or suspected.
This is quite similar to what hikatz thinks. I personally donÔt know anything about the threats and donÔt have any basis to speculate on who may have have been responsible if not Bo.
The land signing the next day would be a huge coincidence, but I realize a big step like that has potential to spark a domestic argument too.
The police do not have to be in on some conspiracy. Just do the usual, not thinking outside the box, being steered by a phone call. Develop tunnel vision. Resist the idea of anyone local being involved.
As I said, donÔt know Ed, no idea why he might be involved or if that would make any sense whatsoever. Details about BoÔs disappearance bother me. IÔm not closed off to the idea that he did it, although the idea saddens me a lot. Most domestic violence murders have warning signs, I believe. There is usually a prior history, injuries, domestic incident calls to police, exes who tell a similar tale. People say afterwards that they warned her (or him) to get away, but the victim couldnÔt do it. Not in this case.
Some people say, this is real life and not TV, books, movies. Yes, but stories of crime are in peopleÔs heads from all these sources, which means they can be enacted in real life, just as real life inspires the storylines. If I were going to commit a heinous crime, or cover one up -- having no experience in real life, I would probably look to something I had seen or read to figure out what to do. So thereÔs a thin and not solid line between "real life" and "TV crime." ItÔs not like people here are too dull-witted to figure out a plan. I donÔt sell them short on ingenuity.
Nana, thanks so much for the welcome back, much appreciate it.
Thanks, kohaladiver, anony-mouse, know I appreciate the nice words. [
