Since we still haven’t heard any recent updates on the case, I tried to write up a summary breakdown of how the most recent events unfolded from my perspective.
Hopefully it will help catch any newcomers up to speed and clear up any confusion out there.
In the months following Ally’s death, I began noticing Nikki and Franz’s portrayal in the media of Franz and Ally’s relationship becoming severely distorted from the reality of that relationship when Ally was still alive.
Ally and Franz had some very old and very deep conflicts between them Ally’s entire life. Alex used to discribe Franz to me (and many others) as someone completely void of any and all emotion, empathy, or compassion for anyone or anything... especially Her!
To clarify, it’s NOT like Alex and Franz just had some strained or bumpy Father-Daughter relationship....
After all, there’s plenty of those relationships out there that we can all point too, right?
No, this isn’t that! What we’re talking about in this case is something far different, far stranger, and far more dark...
There was NO father-daughter relationship between them, there never was... It just simply didn’t exist! NO emotion, NO compassion... period! Nothing!
We’re not talking about just some father who showed up late to his daughters high school and college graduation ceremonies because he had to stay late at work...
Were talking about a father who didn’t know, didn’t care, and who didn’t want to know or care. Franz wanting nothing to do with Alex, and took absolutely ZERO interest in Ally’s life of any kind! Nor, did Nikki or Ally ever expect him too.
I never really got the impression that this was something Ally felt sad about because it had just always been that way her entire life.
Franz made absolutely NO secret that he wanted his own independent and completely separate life from Alex, with as little of Alex in that life as absolutely possible!
The only reason Franz put up with Alex being around as much as he did was because of Nikki. But even then, Franz just did the best he could to ignore Alex’s existence and pretend like she wasn’t there.
Alex and Franz would regularly go several months living under the same roof without saying literally a single word to each other!
Alex told me that back when she was in college and still living at home, her and Franz had a fight and went well over a year without saying a single word to each other or even acknowledging each other’s existence... and they lived under the same damn roof that entire time!
I always got the impression from Ally that she felt her and her mom (Nikki) would be much better off on their own without Franz.
Franz, on the other hand, felt he and Nikki would be far better off without Ally getting in between them and “causing issues” all the time.
Nothing about this dynamic was healthy or normal in any reasonable way!
Then, one day in July, 2016... Alex mysteriously gets shot in the back while jogging just down the street from Franz and Nikki’s house...
Now...
Shortly after Alex was killed, when Nikki told me she had been fighting with Franz because Franz told her to “just get over” Alex being murdered...
Well, to be entirely honest, I kind of expected that from Franz... based on everything I knew about Franz and the emotionally nonexistent relationship he had with his daughter.... I wasn’t necessarily shocked by his attitude toward the whole thing. For Franz to say something like that... it didn’t seem out of character at all based on my understanding of Franz and everything Ally had told me.
So... with all that said, let’s go over just a couple things that are Entirely out of Franz’s character...
1. Ally’s account.
I’ve mentioned this before.
All those beautiful emotional heartfelt words “Franz” said about Ally on that page.
How Franz goes into specific details about Ally’s college achievements.... he even gives specific dates. How Franz talks about Ally’s life goals and all the different passions Ally had in her life...
This is what I mean by “out of character”.
Based on everything I know about Franz... Am I honestly supposed to believe that Franz wrote any of that?
I simply can’t!
It’s painfully obvious to me, and others I’ve talked to, that Nikki wrote this in his voice. Why go out of her way do that? Excellent question!
2. Ally’s memorial run/ Prayer circle
A couple weeks after Ally was killed some of the local runners in the area organized a memorial run in honor of Ally. It was honestly a really nice and heartfelt thing for them to do.
But again, here’s where *advertiser censored* gets strange...
Nikki sends Franz, by himself, out to the road to thank all the joggers for honoring Ally, and the joggers do a big prayer circle around Franz with him in the middle... heart warming, but Completely out of character.
(Don’t even get me started on that Hurricane Katrina Volunteer shirt...)
<modsnip>
3. Brueger Family Press conference
I’ve went over this before too...
This was basically a live action version the original stunt.
Nikki gives Franz a script to read, puts him on stage, and deliberately distorts, Warps, and covers up the reality of Franz and Ally’s relationship.
Now, for those of us who knew otherwise... (including the 3 guys Ally had dated before me, just to give a few)
We just couldn’t listen to their ******** anymore! We had been contacting LE on a regular basis and told them about the real, unscripted, off-camera Franz.
And we weren’t being unreasonable. It’s not like we were expecting Franz or Nikki to speak out in great length and detail about how bad, or really nonexistent, Franz relationship with Ally actually was. We weren’t expecting anything like that.
But for Franz and Nikki to continuously distort and warp the reality of Franz and Ally’s relationship that much?
Eventually I just had enough of it. I felt it was time to say something... so I went on CWD and called Franz and Ally’s relationship “not good”, which was a severe understatement btw, but I was trying to be as polite as I could be about it.
Nikki response: First, Nikki Vehemently denies my claim that Franz and Ally had any issues, while simultaneously claiming that she “suddenly” (just completely out of the blue) suspects that I killed Ally.
*Keep in mind, up until I brought up everything with Franz, Nikki had always claimed she was convinced Ally’s murderer wasn’t someone she knew*
So basically, I shined a big spotlight on something Nikki was desperately trying to keep in dark for some reason...
So in direct retaliation (and maybe panic), Nikki claimed she suddenly suspects me of murdering her daughter! Then, a few days later she starts telling the local media *advertiser censored* like...
“I am appalled to think, if he is the one, that the last thing Ally saw on this earth was Wes pointing a shotgun at her.”
I realize most of you don’t agree with my suspicion of Franz and that’s completely fine. I honestly don’t know if Franz or Nikki are guilty, or implicated in some other way that I don’t understand. And They could be completely innocent.
What I can say is that this isn’t just some baseless suspicion I pulled out of thin air...
For example, so when I brought to light on the CWD interview that there were some serious issues between Franz and Ally... I clearly hit an extremely sensitive nerve!
And then I watched Nikki completely deny it and then immediately respond in the fanatical way that she did by retaliating again me and saying she suddenly suspects I murdered her daughter? I mean... really?
I had a growing suspicion of Franz possible involvement for a very long time before I ever said a word... but when I finally did... and then i received THAT response... I’m sorry, but I really do think they’re hiding something. I’m not just here being some ******* and throwing around random accusations based on nothing.
I hope at least some of you can see that even if you disagree with my suspicion.
