First time posting on here, I live in Ireland and have being fascinated with the case since I first saw M social-media onslaught. Out of it all this the Cs’ shine like a beacon of a bright clear star shining on an intrinsic sea of sustained evil.
I have read all the posts and being intrigued by it and the solutions but I feel something is missing in them. No doubt MM was quite capable of starting all this off, but there was two weapons used in the murder that were from outside the house not something that one would have access to in an emergency. We believe the baton was from the garage which had no entrance from the house and the garden masonry was outside at the back of the house so not easily available in an emergency and not part of the bedroom furniture. I’m all too aware of TM knowledge of law enforcement and the risk it exposed of getting a prison sentence that he could die in prison for doing something like this. But why was he involved one may well ask then? <modsnip> I can well imagine them MM, pops and mama-bear all up late trying to console M who was distraught after finding out JC was going back to Ireland with the kids. Gone was his kids out of her life, life being unliveable without being a mommy, gone was the lush funds for her extravagant lifestyle, the possibility of ending homeless as the house being sold from abroad. She had no equable interest in the house don’t know if she had a registered property interest in it but the common law courts are very persuaded in property settlement in equitable interest where the partner/mother has no children of relationship. Property rights without an equitable interest can be terminated prior to death not post. I also understand from reading somewhere that MM was more than generous in using JC credit card on the M extended family.<modsnip> We do know there was a prescription tranquilizer found in his body that was not prescribed for him and I don’t think he took it knowingly. I would also think he knew he had congenital heart problems so would be very careful of what drugs he took.
What have we now, we have JC drugged so he would be in a deep sleep, MM hysterical and the perceived villain sleeping sound in bed. What time JC was given the drug would give us an indication of when the initiative to kill began, MM was going solo at that time. I presume it was given to him in the early evening. I don’t know what time pops and moma-bear came to his house. I don’t think there was a conspiracy discussed on the phone; pops experience would be persuasive to this. I would think the conspiracy emerged after their arrival. I don’t think MM would be persuasive with all her mental health problems to persuade pops to do anything drastic. She could well suggest that she had him drugged and suggest to them what about killing him and they confer on the possibility of it working out for them. It does require a very twisted mind-set and audaciousness to think one could get away with it. <modsnip> Pops law enforcement background in the FBI, he would have to have a law degree or one in criminology and he would be well aware of the power of “self-defense” in a defense. It’s complete where there is not excess force used. They would have discussed the primer of the DV being the causa belli and the susceptibility of the police/prosecution/public to it. Pops would be using his long experience in federal law enforcement to put forward it was a case of him having to use deadly force and he a type of victim. He would have thought this may stop a proper police investigation. So the conspiracy is coming along nicely with the solution and what is the only obvious solution. So pops and MM get their weapons and set off to the bedroom and set on JC as he is sleeping deeply, they thinking a few belts to the head and he is dead. Neither MM nor pops would have the height to strike him to inflict such injuries if he was standing and don’t think MM had the power to inflict such on her own. I would think JC was literally overwhelmed in seconds and all he could do was squirm out of bed and wriggle around the floor as they chased him beating the life out of him till he was dead. And this is where the excessive force was used in his butchery. JC did not die easily and once it began it had to be seen to the end and that was till he stopped moving.
Now the cover up, I’m sure pops was shocked at the overkill and the state JC body was in. I would also think the police would be horrified at the state of his body and a murder investigation immediately started. Now it’s going wrong but pops believes his standing would be sufficiently to halt a full scale murder investigation with his defense and the damsel still in distress as a backdrop and his own. Back home in Ireland they receive conflicting phone calls till it’s finally established he is dead at the hands of the Ms. His sister in holidays quickly rushes back from her holidays in first flight and in the meantime their local TD (parliament representative) who is a lawyer swings into action. This would be his speciality helping his constituents in such distress. I would think he opened all the right channels in the US, was well aware of getting a custody order in place asp and he would do this 24/7 for as long as it takes. I’m sure nearby Shannon Airport was contacted to have her on first avail flight with the necessary connection made all without payment up front. The kids guardian spoke to MM and Jack and told him she was on the way. Now it’s going wrong for the Ms'. I’m sure the local TD would have probated the will post haste have contacted the NC Social Services to appraise them of situation. MM was startled at the guardian’s plans and got an interim care order. Social Service alerted the Guardian of this while she was in transit which she would in turn have passed on to her local TD. Again the wires from Limerick and Irish Foreign Affairs would be red hot to the US. As this was going on the Ms’ were arranging a quick cremation and service and it would be back to normal for them JC being an afterthought. They had the kids and a care order, JC house and the possibility of his life insurance which I would think with the audacious mind-set they had believed was sellable. They believed they were thoroughbreds had a clear start and the finishing line was in sight. But they failed to take account of the guardians’ determination and the Limerick support base capabilities and before they realized the rank outsider overtook them on the outside and left them standing. The kids gone, property freeze in place and police investigation in full swing and likely to lead to murder charges by Christmas it was all beginning to unwind all that was left was a full scale social media onslaught.
