<respectfully snipped by me>
Ann Rule stated JS didn't want to file a formal police complaint but he wanted to have the incident "on record." I don't know that simply having the incident on record would be enough to protect him and the dog, but perhaps his desire to avoid negative publicity was a factor in that choice. On the other hand, I wonder if JS anticipated the violence could escalate and felt it was important to begin formally acknowledging/recording it. I have long wondered if Rebecca's death was the result of an escalation of previously documented domestic violence.
All of the above is just my opinion and pure speculation.
In Ann Rule's book she writes about JS being questioned by the detectives. He is quoted as wondering if he is in danger, if he should be worried. It's also written that he went to RZ's funeral with two other men (it's "speculated" that they are body guards). While I agree that JS is not a gangster or someone who would be in need security, regardless of his wealth and influence, it's not noted anywhere that he had them before, it's interesting that his thoughts when talking to detectives ran to his safety. Perhaps that is why he made police reports back in the late 00's. To ensure that there was a history reported. Perhaps that is why he (possibly) feared for his own safety after RZ was found. The book is rather ambiguous about it, not stating anything one way or the other. Is it possible that he thought someone was out to destroy him? Is that why he (or someone) sent a one line text message and did not include someone in his own non-profit launch? Please note, I am only speculating and voicing thoughts. I've been on the fence with this mess from the get go. There are so many possibilities, but the way Ms. Rule presented her chapters on this gave me the impression that JS was scared. But of who?
