A 12 year old to break sophisticated encryption isn't going to happen. Imagine using a 256 character key that only you know, that isn't written down. That is why it takes years - you have to determine every possibility of number combination, which is no small task.

Hackers can try it too, but the truth is the truth - encryption is popular because it takes forever to undo. This is true for the layperson OR FBI. That is the bottom line - you can't force it to happen any faster. It has nothing to do with political will or hope - it has everything to do with...

Encryption can be almost impossible to crack. With the right key, it can take decades, if ever. Computer experts were assigned, but encryption, especially the type Josh would have used, is really pretty impossible to crack. If persistent, it can be done...but again, it will take years to do.

Working on a Sunday - not sure. I tend to check my work email on weekends, but not always. If he didn't have a habit of logging in on the weekend, which is very easy to determine through access logs, then I might suspect him. If he flew in, he'd be on an airline manifest unless he has a fake...

It's possible to hide things in a file, yes, like an image. When forensics goes through the images, they're going to view them, but also look for any anomalies. The size of a file is a big indicator that it may not be what it claims to be. In the case of an image, the size could be way out of...

I grew up right by Sardine Canyon and all I can say is he would have put himself and the kids in a LOT of danger driving up there that night, and I don't think he'd take that risk considering he was a huge narcissist. I'm a native and if there's even a hint of a storm, I refuse. It's very easy...

We think alike Jacie! I think they're divulging information very carefully.

Exactly. There's many levels of encryption, and I can see Josh thinking he's pulling one over on the PD. I have much more faith in the PD than that. Interestingly, though, the KIRO article struck me as the PD intentionally making it seem like they weren't capable of handling the encryption.

I'm confident they'll be able to crack his encryption. I imagine there's a lot of computer experts who wouldn't mind helping out in this case, and they're a lot more talented than Josh was.

Yes, IP info can be obtained. This will come directly from the email headers. Additionally, if he was using the laptop and hooked into a VPN to the state, then the network traffic coming from his assigned IP can also be looked at to determine where he was. I use VPN regularly and once...

I've had to show ID, but never have had a license plate number required. I took a taxi to the hotel anyway, so I could not have given one. Maybe he stayed under the name Steve Chantrey?

I don't think the kids were dead when the fire started, just unconscious. But, when the fire started, it happened fast, which produced a lot of carbon monoxide. Whether or not they had any searing, I don't know. But as a matter of routine, I'm sure the ME performed additional testing during...

I don't think he escaped - he really is dead...I'm sure it was confirmed on multiple levels. However, I do agree about the 911 call being forced. I'm not trying to bash her either, but it seemed so planned...the things she said struck me as very odd.

From what I could find, it is called One Red X Software. They create custom software for several industries. Software dev or QA pays pretty well, so it would explain his stash of money.

That was so hard to watch...I'm sitting here in tears. I cannot even imagine the pain they feel.

I imagine someone recognized him after his picture was all over the news. Donating toys isn't really suspect, so they probably thought nothing of it at the time.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this. I've been reading these messages, but I'm so upset that people bash LE because every facet of Josh's life wasn't picked over. I'm not defending him, but I will defend LE. We might think, and they might think, that Josh did it. But LE has to convince...

I am so disheartened...when my mom called to tell me, I lost all words. Physically sick... The only good thing is he can't hurt them anymore.

When they first married, Steven lived in a different, smaller home. I also watched this interview, and noticed how calm Josh was. His eyes were dead. However, when they talked about Josh meeting Susan, and their dates, he showed more emotion than I've ever seen him show. I know every...

I think they both know. The changing story, the hot-shot lawyer...doesn't speak well of the parents.
