welcome to WS enterthecircus. i agree, this is a head scratcher. every case i've followed. i need to expand my scope.
thing is, if you read non-MSM sites (which are not allowed to be posted here), this guy was perfect. nothing but accolades from family, friends, colleagues, clients...even in the nicest of forums there's always a troll or one to insult the victim. nothing in this case. nothing but an outpouring of positive emotions and compliments.
so for me that's a red flag. no one's perfect. songbird, since you're a local let us know what the buzz is...there's so little information out there (another red flag)...but be careful posting only because rumor gets us in trouble around here...
