Last night I decided to speculate the origin of each piece of evidence collected on Albany Ave to gain a better grasp of what happened where. A few things jumped out at me:
“black garden glove” and
“black Husky gloves” = two distinct sets of gloves. FD has an interior DNA match to the garden glove, while the Husky is only listed as an exterior match to JFd -- did FD wear both gloves at different points in the crime, or were the Husky gloves worn by an accomplice? For what it’s worth, Husky predominately makes “work gloves.”
“Standard Textile brand bath towel” (JFd DNA match) -- did this towel originate from 69 Welles or 80 MS? If Welles, then (IMO) it was used for clean-up. If 80 MS, from a bathroom FD used to wash himself of JFd's blood (sorry)? A bathroom MT then bagged and cleaned?
“(2) plastic garbage bags taped together with black tape” = DNA match to JFd and MT. IMO/MOO, I think this is the big clincher for MT. I’m in the camp that believes these garbage bags were used to package JFd for transportation from the Welles garage to 80 MS, and then later removed and disposed along with the long zip-ties used to secure the exterior of this makeshift body-bag (sorry :/ and again, MOO). If we make the assumption this body-bag scenario is true, it means two things:
1. The disposal process required the removal of packaging (and clothing, also per the Albany Ave evidence). MOO, but to me, that feels like a burial with some chemical component. I guess there could be an argument for burning, but I feel like you wouldn’t need to remove clothes/packaging to do that. Disposal of these items is also an unnecessary risk and I doubt plastic garbage bags and a t-shirt would really impede cremation. And burning attracts attention, even with a private bonfire. It was Memorial Day weekend. People are nosy, and the residencies are close enough that a backyard bonfire would most likely have been visible to neighbors. And yes, there are large stretches of undeveloped land near 80 MS/ 4JX/ 585 DC, but an unsanctioned fire in the woods would have been reported immediately. A pre-dug grave in some remote section of woods near one of FD’s many acres of private land, however? Now that would be a quiet, controlled, and a relatively quick process if prepared correctly. FD probably learned from KM’s mistake with the semi-private Windsor Gun Club and knew his site had to be even more private than that; not on his land, specifically, but near enough to his home turf that he was in complete control of the conditions, surroundings, and equipment.
2. If MT’s DNA is on this makeshift body-bag, then MT is guilty. Curtains. The End. I am sure we will eventually learn the extent of her involvement, but in mind, if she touched the body-bag, she is a willing accomplice in this crime. This wasn’t just cleaning the house or the Tacoma. This was cleaning Jennifer (exactly as she said, just inverse; 'lying 101' style). Whether this means she helped plan the murder, or simply helped with the clean-up and disposal, we shall see. But I really, truly believe MT (and KM, while we’re at it) knows where JFd is. (MOO)
“Swabbing of sticky side of duct tape located on interior of bag” = DNA match JFd. Could be move evidence of “packaging” (again, sorry), but what if this tape was used as a gag? I’ve always wondered if FD actually killed JFd at Welles, or just seriously incapacitated her, bound her up, and then took her to his pre-planned kill-site on home turf. But then I go back to the ten rolls of paper towel missing from Welles...and I think his plan might originally have been to incapacitate her and take her elsewhere, but she fought back and he had to kill her at Welles. There’s no other reason I can think of that necessitates FD using 10 rolls of JFd’s paper towels. He didn’t want to go into the house. He knew the risk of DNA. The sink/paper towel use happened because the scene got out of control and FD had to improvise. Classic FD, underestimating the strength of women! My heart continues to break for poor Jennifer and kids. LE needs to step it up, find the body, and give this poor family some closure.
^^ just some speculative food for thought and all MOO
