[QUESTION]
Welcome, IKnewThisMan! Very interested in what you have to say. A couple initial questions:
- What was Joe like, from your viewpoint? Are you as shocked as some of us to hear about all these horrible things he did?
- Did you have suspicions from the start that something wasn't right about his death?
- How is his family holding up (especially the sons)?
- Did you notice Joe acting differently in the months leading up to his death?
TIA and welcome!

- Joe at first came off as a very confident man. Slowly this confidence was becoming more apparent as arrogance but because I respected him so much I did not think about it, I excused it thanks to his achievements. I figured he deserved to talk the talk. He was very vulgar, he was pretty offensive, and he knew he could get away with it.
- Well it depends what you mean by right away... The first few hours I believed the story, definitely. I was fooled even after the fake phone call made by the babysitter. I stayed up all night listening to the scanner hoping the "killers" were found. However there were gaps in this period where I questioned what may have happened. With that being said, I believed that suicide was no more or less a possibility than an inside job. A portion of the local community still believes it was an inside job for some odd reason. Even after official documents have been released. Some are still in denial and believe that the government would fake phone records, bank records, police reports, complaints, etc. Of course the government would be capable of this if was something that was linked all the way up to the feds or something ridiculous but I mean.. Come on..
- I can't answer how the sons are holding up.
- I did not. However I have not been in close contact with Joe for at least 6 months.
-EDIT-
Adding to believing it was an inside he had a lot of the locals fooled. I, as well as many others, believed he was the man that was trying to uncover corruption within the local police. Some of us were aware that the local police were under investigation and thought he was killed because he was onto something.

Fake call made by the babysitter? I must have missed this. What is this about?

A fake phone call was made during the man hunt.

To go into more depth of how long it took me to really accept that it was NOT murder would have to be only a few weeks prior to the recent press conference. Even after the coroner first announced that he could not rule out suicide I was still leaning on the edge of murder by 3 suspects.
