Thank you so much!
@Tarika, here it is if you still haven't seen it.
I liked BS's uncle and feel sorry for him--can't imagine what he's going through--and he provided quite a bit of helpful details that confirm some of what we have discussed, beyond just saying the amount of cash they had was "fair."
One of the things I found most interesting is he said BS saw him the day before they left (July 11th apparently), and the trip was at least already in the works then. AS wasn't notified until the next day when he was already on his way to see him, which I honestly have always found a bit rude of BS since he apparently knew his dad visited on a regular schedule. Does kind of suggest to me their relationship, though better in recent years, was still maybe a bit tenuous.
He doesn't specifically say BS couldn't drive, but he did mention a couple of times that he didn't have a DL and it was KM"s truck. Based on all the times it has been confirmed that KM was driving, I think AS was probably correct in saying BS couldn't drive.
He says he knew of KM being a friend of BS's but that they never met, which solidifies what AS said about BS going to KM's house and not the other way around.
He apparently knew enough of KM through BS to say that KM was "a little more outgoing" than BS. So, he said he couldn't speak to KM's involvement in community events and things but confirmed that BS was not involved in any sports teams or community groups. This seems to confirm people's recollections of seeing KM around at hockey games (I assume in attendance and not as a player), LAN tournaments, and coffee shops but not BS at those events.
I also found it interesting that he said an RCMP staff sergeant told him that people often don't see the full side of someone, so his memories of BS being nice and polite and not seeing this other side of him made sense. It sounded kind of like, in his own way, the Mountie was trying to console BS's family.
At the risk of reigniting another thing we have talked about (Height-gate), I found it interesting he mentioned BS being 6'. I think he must have misspoke there, though, because BS has always looked quite a bit taller than that to me?
All MOO
