Welcome everyone!!

Please explain to me why someone by the username of gazalletime reported the information I posted? I have no clue....I don't even really know what that means.The information I posted was not confidential nor was it untrue. The Sheriff has not talked about it because he is under constraints that others are not. I have be on the worst roller coaster of my life since This heinous crime occured and emotionally can not handle being attacked for trying to help you guys gather more information that in the end may uncover something important to this case.

Yes, I am also curious why firegirl's post was reported? I eventually read her post and did not see anything wrong with it. Maybe someone can enlighten the rest of us about what she did wrong?

Bud and Mel met through a mutual friend. After meeting Bud gave Mel a job as a waitress at his bar. The back Seat Lounge. It was love at first sight for these two. Anyone who was ever around them could see the love between them. Most people wish for a connection like that!
I can tell you that to my knowledge and the knowledge of the family I was talking to today they did not know Pamela Wiggins at all.

I feel like we have scared everyone away with what they shouldnt post when really we are here to uncover truths.. and though things may be said I havent heard anyone suggest for a second the Billings' deserved this and that they werent WONDERFUL people..

With that respect I am really anxious to hear what NSC is working on

What is the Billings son name that didn't attend the funeral today because he feared for his life?

They reported this during the first PC today but I didn't catch the name.

 

[firegirlpcolafl]

What does anyone on here know about LPG Jr.'s wife? She is the newest person of interest being looked for by Sheriff Morgan. Her neighbors say she has not been seen since the day of the .....sorry I can't even bring myself to say it. Does anyone know anything about her family or where she could be hiding?

Guys you all need to be civil with one another. If there is an issue with a post please just alert to it and do not talk about it on the thread ok. I went back and edited out the quotes and any info about a $$$$ amount. Please lets all remember that this is a public thread and anyone can read here. I believe the possibility of a second safe was brought up in mainstream media.

We need to make sure that we do not post anything that could put these children in danger ok. I;m not sure that posting a speculated $ amount in a safe is a good thing on a open forum safety wise.

For those of you who know this family please email Tricia the owner of WS at tgrif@xmission.com and let her know you are here and would like to post "inside" info. She will get in touch with you then and "validate" that you are who you say you are. Unfortunately this has become necessary here when someone posts as friend or family.

If anyone has further questions feel free to pm me here!

Been lurking mostly, but I do have a question. If the motive was cash, I can see where money would be enough to lure in some of the perps. However, I can't see a guy coming from Alabama was it??, and risking his military career and the DP for money. Any thoughts to this perp? Does anybody think it was just $$ that lured him there? I could be wrong, maybe it was, just seems unlikely to me.

ETA: corrected. Sorry, Animal, I posted before I read yours.

Lets see...

We have:
military precision,
4 minutes inside the house,
8 men enter,
small safe taken (unopened)
small safe discarded (docs, meds, sentimental jewelry)
2 wonderful people killed who had money
One old man singing like a canary-not loud enough (LPG SR)
one husband pointing directly to the "evidence" (look-look-they stole the safe! all you need to find is right there)
One smiley sashaying women out on 10k bail (canary's throat was dry)
AND a whole town talking about another safe (against the advice of sheriff) that had money still inside.

My theory--suspects were successful getting inside the big safe and only left the money.

OOHH - could that be why PL is smiling?

What we don't know- if the suspects had the code? what they removed from the house/safe. And why it is important for the estate to put rumors to rest about the contents of the safe AT the risk of hindering the investigation?

yep like a game of chess!

Her name is Tabitha. She was married before to a Druggie. He was in trouble with the law a few times.

Stallworth was exactly the one I was thinking of when I asked if ($)would be enough. He's the one who is tied to the rap and entertainment scene, which makes me think drugs. Wonder if it's possible that the amount of prescription meds stored for those kids was thought to be greater than what it was (not that I know what it was.)

Alabama line is 5 minutes from the Billings home, maybe less than that.
