My theories only, folks!
At 00:02:56, Brad Clement talks about telling Chase how lucky he was that he had a beautiful wife and 2 beautiful little girls. This, to me was his "motive" in concealing Chase's body, but I don't think he intentionally killed Chase.
I guess it was more of a fantasy that, in Chase's absence, he could step in and fill his shoes with Amanda and her children.
But I still think the COD is going to be drug OD, with drugs supplied to Chase by Brad Clement. It will be hard to pin it on Brad Clement.
In a Nancy Grace interview on Crime Stories, Brad Clement said that he lent Chase $60. And he told Nancy this to bolster his claim that Chase had just taken off of his own volition. But, I think that he "lent" Chase $60 so that Chase could buy drugs from him.
My first thought of Brad Clement being charged with manslaughter isn't going to happen, most likely. Just the concealing of a body, that he is currently charged with.
All of the above are my opinions -- nothing factual.
:tyou: for the opportunity to review. And
illowfight: Spelz challenge for me to listen to :giggle:
There hasn't been a transcipt, and I have 30 minutes to work on doing... so it's not going to be verbatim!!! Below is me typing... not capturing all but doing the best I can. Perhaps someone can do the second half as I need to leave today for RL other stuff.
:seeya:
In this video he refers to the times that Chase was there as 2-3 days before this happend, then when challenged by reporter he says 2-3 weeks perhaps (~4 minutes into video)...
He speaks of Allen as room mate, then says "he was right down the street always" ?? What does that mean ??
Brad talks about how he had his house paid off in this interview. $$$$
I noted around 8:00 into it that the interviewer asks him a question off the timeline of Quicktrip.
He won't answer! he wants to go back to his narrative timeline to talk about how Chase was a connoisseur of pot.
Reminds me of Juan Martinez and his skill at jumping around in timeframe to catch a lie.. as he said (Juan) liers like to do sequential stories, not be caught off guard for a specific.
And then right after, he talks about what is in the media about pot plants, Amanda's mom coming to help clean it out, and then changes subjects without verifying ... he's just bringing it up.
He then talks about building a computer on Wednesday he was at MicroCenter when Chase called to pick him up at QT as he was building a computer. "Sure, come over and watch me build it". He said Chase was acting funny, like he was drinking, and pictures looked like he was on drugs but he was playing around.
And Ch**dra was there, and they were going to go around back and get stoned. bus: for Ch**dra)
~12:00
We spent 30 minutes at QuickTrip, and went back and hung out while I built computer. He said he wanted to go run away to the woods. I thought he wasn't serious, and wanted a rise out of Amanda.
We basically just chilled. And he told me he wanted to go get something else, like some pills. I told him I didn't want to be a part of it. I told him about my experience.. he brings up PTSD/war... I never really saw that or bipolar. He seemed like a xolly guy. Amanda wined to him. He said that no marriage is perfect to Chase.. that is the ebbs and flows. You have your little girls. He loved his little girls.
That night he seemed like the same old Chase, no red alerts, nothing for 1013 or Baker acted. We were in master bedroom upstairs as that is where I hung out, was big room with tv and that is where we hung out. My house, we were working on it. I had everything on the floor and we were working on that. I think we did smoke a little pot that he had on him.
He said something about a bag that he had left at QT and he called Chan### at QT and she said that she would leave it outside.
At 3 or 4, I had to be up at 7 or 8... I continued to build the computer as I can work through the night. I proably sat on the chair and dozed while watching on the computer, but not sleepy/snoring like he was.
Even with Allen, he never stayed over. He would slip out, he never told anyone he was leaving.
He slept, and the roofers, Brandon and 3 other guys came at the crack of dawn. I was outside talking to them, Chase was asleep. As soon as they got there, I went to drop off computer to Ri**y. I left him there... I can't remember... it was so long ago. I think I woke him up before I left and he went to the other room. I told him you can go sleep in that room, and he was xust laying in the bed
gaah: my x key isn't working again). Chase said he didn't want to go with me, he went to the other room. I wanted to talk to Amanda to see if he had to go to work before he left the first time at ...he tried at 10-11 call her. I can't remember.
I really wanted him to come with me as didn't want to go to North Avenue, behind publix in Buckhead by myself. I went and dropped it off... gone for maybe 2 hours. When I got back I wanted to talk to chase/BBQ ... and he said Brandon gave him a really good deal on the roof, it was really an insurance claim, and I thought it would be a good idea to take care of them too..
I don't know if he really wanted to have the BBQ with Amanda or wanted to come, or... I had come back and talked to him... and I said I told her about the BBQ and told her she should come over and he should call her, and he was about to get up and come down and go with me, the roofers are here, get up and do something..
Brad skips now... and changes to next...
When I got back, I don't think I got up there immediately, I tried to get everything going before I went to see that he was gone. When I went to grill I started a fire.. it's on social media... a coal had fallen......
________________________________________________________
I only had time to get to 25:00 of the above live one hour+ interview. It is NOT verbatim, assuming this typing is for folks familiar with the case vs. newbies... Perhaps someone else, if inclined, wants to do the last half?
Please excuse the LOUSY TRANSCRIPTION... I'm not good at such when rushed... and is NOT verbatim.
