I too agree there is a possibility there is someone further up this sick chain that may be responsible. Whether they are responsible for planning or executing the alleged murders. There is someone or more than one yet to be arrested, imo. Another good point, who was responsible for buying or even distributing the videos/pictures? I mean seriously we don't know how far this ring goes. They appear to have been pretty brazen in their actions. Did they actually in some way feel protected?
Does anyone think that Brownlee may not be such a minor player in the generational view? He looks much older than the other eleven, but I'm terrible at guessing ages. He may be the link that deserves looking closer at.
