Thanks PIM. I was simply addressing the idea that just because BF has a boat in his driveway does not make the family well off or mean they are scamming "people with less" as indicated in the post I was responding to.
Another member later indicated that BF is allegedly self employed somehow repairing boats and marine craft. So the boat in the drive may not even be his, may instead belong to a customer.
I just have a really bad taste in my mouth by how CW and BF have been scrutinized and found wanting by many while PR has been held up as a victim. IMO we do not have information enough on any of these adults to be passing those sorts of judgments since none are named POI or suspects and this is a victim and victim family friendly zone.
I think maybe most of the adults in this case are found 'wanting' in some ways. They're all human with their own histories and past mistakes...but it's purely speculative in here as to which of those mistakes 'caused' something like this to happen. While victim-friendly, this forum is also highly speculative, and several posters even say they tend to believe 'guilty until proven innocent' (re arrestees). While that amounts to believing that LE can never arrest the wrong person, I'm staying away from that whole argument.
I only will acknowledge that the Fowlers seem to me to be an unusual family with unusual (to me) responses to this whole thing. The FB page dissing the ex-wife, the banning of Leila's mother from her funeral, the early attempts to control photos of Leila being published that were already in circulation, the need for LE to 'execute a search warrant' that weekend to gather evidence in their home concerning their own daughter's murder, the blood all over the father's shirt indicating a compromised crime scene, the searching for over a week for a murder weapon used by a 12-year old, the wacky timeline with information gaps/contradictions...I just think some things here are not typical. Doesn't necessarily mean anything, but means I still have unanswered questions about this case, so I'm not surprised if others do as well.
