June Umchnida's full 2018 interview with police is well worth the read for anyone who hasn't. Fancifiction had posted it earlier but I have attached it again for your reading pleasure. There's a lot to chew on there, including:
- a websleuths shoutout. She was a regular lurker and was getting all her info from here when she first learned of the case;
- confirmation about not only the stapled cash but just how much cash Charlie dealt in;
- the conversation with Donna about Dan haunting them from the grave;
- most interestingly, Charlie's mental state both his breakdown, erratic behaviour but also in how he thought it would "all be over" after the KM and SG trial when KM would acquitted. Charlie was very familiar with Magbanua's Defense team, spoke highly of them and noted that they shared offices with his own Defense team. Even references how KM would not flip. (I wish the FBI got more out of her on this stuff!)
- a big fight between Wendi and Charlie when the case blew up in the media. Someone unfamiliar with the case might interpret this to mean Wendi was mad at Charlie for killing Dan but its very clear thats not the case. She's mad at Charlie for all the new media exposure and/or how he foolishly dealt with the blackmailing FBI; and they were able to reconcile whatever differences because they were both under the media spotlight, not just Wendi (its always poor Wendi!)
I won't spoil it all. But when I got to the part about Charlie visiting someone specific in the Philippines, I started to wonder whether this person was just another poor Asian girl Charlie was exploiting or whether she might be the intermediary between the Adelsons money and Magbanua's legal fees.
