They skipped over some stuff in regarding the leak.
Early October “F” tree photos from crime scene leaked. MS had seen but unable to verify validity, chose not to share.
10/5 - early morning hours MS received graphic crime scene photos from source M.
10/5- as soon as sun comes up MS informs LE and defense of leak.
MS some point thereafter receives Facebook messaging screenshots that show conversations between M, RF and MW. From investigating on they determine MW to be former employee of AB.
Also MS makes note that RF states he had been involved with collaborating with defense “at their invitation” for a length of time. Messages also indicated MW was still meeting with defense and shares in FB messages another POI and strategies considers by defense.
10/6 4:13pm -BR sends email to JG stating that they just became informed in the last hour ( does not coincide with MS timeline) that a leak of crime scene photos has occurred. That they were told by a staff member by an uninvolved 3rd party. That they are “not the source” of the leak. BR says he called to inform NMc and that they already knew for at least 24 hours. ( which coincides with MS timeline).
10/8 11:05 am JG sends email to AB, BR and NMc encouraging a thorough investigation occur and that leak be stopped and photos seized. She emphasizes how they should be only involving staff that are trustworthy. She points out previous breaches by defense.
10/9 MS has formal interview with LE and turns over all documentation including messages and screenshots implicating all parties all signs lead to defense leak.
10/10 ISP detective sent to get a statement from RF to determine a) gather photos and delete from his phone b) find out who he got them from and who he distributed to. RF refuses to answer questions, states he wants an attorney.
10/10 AFTER RF refuses to answer questions-AB informs NMc that that MW accessed crime scene photos from conference room some time in August and “leaked” to RF and then RF leaked to other individuals.
10/11 RF makes statement to his wife that he needs to “ come clean” about where he got the photos. 10:00pm RF commits suicide.
10/12 4:07am NMc informs JG,AB and BR of the suicide and briefs them of their interactions. This email also informs JG that leak originated with defense.
10/12 JG orders defense to cease work on case. I wonder why.
Now when you align these timelines it becomes very obvious which party was skirting the truth (ie:lying) and trying to CYA.
AB/BR were trying to distance from the leakers because they know it’s gross negligence.
But evidence may show that in actuality the leakers were not snookering but invited to the table and evidence shared against court order.
I am sure this investigation is still ongoing and time will tell just how gross the negligence was.
My heart hurts for the families of these two bright and beautiful girls. They endured enough already it’s absolutely heart breaking these girls were exploited in death.
