Yes. I do believe that they perceived whatever Fleet White knew, or observed was a threat to the smoke screens that went immediately into effect. The fact that Bynum had such heavy hitter lawyers already on board the day after Christmas when most people who can be are still on holiday speaks volumes I think. And they did get to witnesses before BPD. There was a fix in pretty much immediately and I'm sure the DA was a part of it. Oh, to be a fly on the wall....The R’s say that they weren’t that good of friends before JB’s demise. There was that recent trip to NYC, together. Also it was SS that opened the door to the police during the party on the 23rd without inviting them inside for Christmas Cheer. Makes me wonder in the back of my mind how much BR and DS played (perhaps doctor) with JB behind closed doors. Perhaps SS was in awe of PR or maybe a little bit more. Either way, something’s point in this direction. All because of the tossing aside they did with other friends in Boulder. Plus, as Meara has so gracefully pointed out to us (via link):
- Mike Bynum told Fleet White that Haddon and Morgan were handling things and that he should stay out of it. (As Fleet told me, that is when the intimidation began. The night of December 26, 1996 at 5PM, Mike Bynum summoned Fleet to his office. Apparently FW knew to much about JB’s death as a witness. The law firm went several steps further (here is one more):
- Haddon had his PI’s on the street early AM 12/27/96, often beating the BPD to witnesses. And so we are left to wonder about the neighbors of the R’s: Joe Barnhill, and Melody Staton.
FW was not wondering around in the dark down there. As a matter of fact it was said the basement lights were already on that morning. Sure the wine cellar was completely dark as was the room behind the laundry; plus the closets. Since all rooms had light switches; one would not need a flashlight.
It is further said that JR had such bad eyesight that he could not fly (had to have a pilot) and that FW had 20/20.
Yes, JR disappearance that morning was very questionable. To move the body is extremely risky. I think that FW didn’t see inside the wine cellar because it was so dark in there. The hall lighting wasn’t enough to see inside. Although he may have seen something there but couldn’t make out what it was. I believe the reading in as to why JR saw JB immediately upon entering the wine cellar is because he knew where JB was resting. PR sat directly above her daughter’s corpse; in the sunroom. I further understand she vomited that morning in that room.
BR said he was in the basement playing and PR was down there on the 25th wrapping presents. Maybe he opened those gifts that morning and lead JB down that path that night? He admits to going down stairs the night of the 25th after his folks went to bed. JB’s feet were dusty. Which leads me to believe she was walking down there before her tragic end. Also she was SA and strangled in front of the wine cellar door. Yes, BR was in the wine cellar and according to him he opened the gifts. Admittedly so did PR? Why did they both confess? We could also look at the dna found on the top/bottom, inside/outside of the Barbie nightgown (with JB blood found along the front) to go deeper.
Thank you for your input!
I have also read that because of JR's relationship with LM, a defense contractor, that there very detailed and specific plans in place for kidnappings that may involve "foreign factions" which JR would have not only known about, but had to have agreed to. And it requires the first phone call to be to the security division for them to alert higher ups in the company as well as then begin to handle discreetly. A kidnapping is a threat not only to national security, but also to any other officer in the company who also may be targeted. They take such things very seriously. So it's interesting that the very phrase "foreign faction" was used in the RN, but also that the R's did not follow the very specific directions from LM as to how to handle such an event. I also think the phone records conveniently disappeared / were wiped after the DA refused to allow them to be subpoenaed, because they probably showed that phone calls between Jr and Bynum started well before the 911 call was made. Or JR and someone else, but it wasn't LM security. LM would never have advised them to call 911. I wonder who did?
I do think it's possible with the basement lights on and the wine cellar door fairly widely open that there would have been enough light for Fleet to have seen something had something been there. And it is at the least very interesting that when asked to look around the house again by Arndt, JR went straight to where the body was. I would be very interested to know what it was that they felt Fleet knew or saw that was a threat.
Good question as to why both PR and BR admitted to opening presents.
