It’s interesting how the tragic Glen Davis murder in 2007, also a philanthropist, happened to be mentioned by Idsibga in passing.. Even if he didn’t mention “similarities” clearly financial gain (ie greed) was involved in the Davis murder in the godson’s (a cousin’s child) motive of mistakingly believing he was named in the will. I wonder, were Barry and Honey godparents to anyone?

“Idsinga made that happen — as he did with the gay community in the originally troubled investigation into the McArthur serial murder case.
Idsinga turned that around and made an arrest.
He’s hoping for a repeat, and referenced how the Glen Davis murder took four years to solve as an example to show that two years is nothing to fear.
