On the "i'm not convinced thread", post 28, RC suggested Brad may have misspoken the last name getting it mixed up with Brett Wilson whom Nancy met the morning after NC's & BC's first date (and whom she was presumably dating at the time). It just seems odd to me that Brad used the same last name as Brett's if he was trying to make up a name.
But your theory is very interesting, and you obviously have some connection to the "former" Brad. Anything else you can enlighten us about?
ETA: I guess I should ask: Is either the first or last name correct?
I just went back into my emails and I apologize to the board, but I overspoke. "Jennifer Wilson" was contacted by CNN and asked to do an interview. She declined after getting legal advice, but the CNN person was also liasing with LE trying to get information, and I know Jennifer's name was passed along, and that Jennifer said she would cooperate with police if asked... I don't actually know if LE followed up with her.
In terms of other things I can comment on, neighbours of some of the immediate family in Edmonton thought an arrest would happen shortly after the autopsy was released... that was just rumour so I didn't post anything here.
In one of my original posts I said that I thought it odd that Brad didn't have any close friends or lifelong friends. In his deposition he was asked about childhood friends, and he gave 2 names. One was Mike McKenzie, and the other was Scott Lamarsh. I know both of those fellows, knew them long before Brad knew them, and that he points to them as his closest friends before moving to NC is very telling.
Mike is a well-known guy in Medicine Hat, the kind of person who had lots of friends. He did not have anything resembling a close friendship with Brad. Brad admits that they've never actually talked in the last many years (I'd suggest they haven't spoken since Brad moved to Calgary from Medicine Hat). I should add I haven't spoken to Mike since high school.
As for Scott, they were drinking buddies at best. Scott wasn't invited nor did he attend Brad's quickie wedding in Calgary even though Scott was living there. Scott didn't know Brad in high school other than maybe by name. Scott graduated from Medicine Hat High School in 1989 and Brad graduated from Crescent Heights High School in 1991. Scott didn't hang with Brad whatsoever in High School. Scott was also a well-known guy, with lots of friends, but Brad wasn't one of them until both Scott and Brad lived in Calgary. I do speak with Scott even up to today, so I'll be sure to let him know about the deposition next time I run into him. Scott is in fact remarried, has been for several years, and it is no surprise to me that Brad didn't know that.
So that he counts these people as his only two 'childhood friends' is really odd. I think it speaks to his deeper personality and his inability (or non-desire) to have or make lasting friendships.
Edit: Jennifer is the correct name. Her last name starts with "W". Beyond that I'll leave her privacy intact. She is married but she uses her maiden name hyphenated with her husband's name.
Edit again: I think RKAB is not either Jennifer or Taylene, and she might be surprised she was also left off the list of girlfriends. Though it is possible RKAB is one of them.
