I'm going back a bit, but I noticed in ZPs Dec conversation with LE (not an official statement, I suppose, since it's unsigned, but nonetheless attested to in the document by LE) that ZP states that AC moved to Idaho because "he had a niece and some friends there". This indicates to me that ZP already knew, in Dec, that Lori's children were not around. Technically, they were, but not available as people for Alex to be spending time with, ykwim. Anyhow, I find it suspect.
Also, as much as I hate to admit it, I believe Alex's death was natural. And mostly that is because I don't think CD/LVD would have called ZP to get AC help if they were trying to off him. And I don't think it was suicide, because he wouldn't have asked for a blessing from CD if he was planning to kill himself.
I do think that asking for a blessing from CD indicates the singular and high regard he had for CD. It isn't normal to ask for such from someone fairly tangential to you (new BIL), and over the phone, when there are plenty of local friends or family who could have done so in person--like ACs own father, who I assume was just a 15 min drive away? I mean he's been living in that area for years, so he could have easily gotten someone to come in person, but he apparently believed CDs telecom magic would be better than any local laying-on-of-hands magic.
