"And in the latest surprise, the Oak Beach man who hired her that night says — for the first time — why Gilbert made a hasty exit from his place and why they never had sex: He thought she might be a man. Though he denies any role in the disappearance, he says he understands people might have looked at him with suspicion in the days afterward."
Cleared my a$$ (sorry the lack of movement on this case is starting to p*ss me off). This guy is as much (or as good) a suspect as any other players in this story. He is my number 1. Now out of nowhere he conjures up this “thought she was a tranny and kicked her out” BS…..well I don’t buy it as BS. But I do think he let the cat outta the bag with this comment. And the fact a Transvestite was one of the victims found murdered, this makes him culpable again in my book. Maybe that is how this all started. Hired a female prostitute that turned out to be a man. Maybe some sort of sexual favor was performed before he found this out, in the subsequent rage, he killed this person. Now forever stained by this deceit, he has been luring and killing prostitutes ever since. His transvestite comments cannot be ignored especially since the body of one was recovered. He clearly has a fear or apprehension associated with his secured prostitutes possible being transvestites. Plus this changes his original story of “she started becoming irrational and he asked her to leave”. In cases like these, you look for those who keep changing their story. His story changed, so his status as “cleared” should change as well. And the mentioning that she was possibly a "man" was meant to demean, hurt and further inflict pain upon her faimly.
Here is our "cleared" POI's resume to date:
- Confirmed troller of Prostitutes on Craigslist. All victims were secured via Craigslist.
- Last residence that SG was seen alive
- Dumping Ground found near his residence
- Has “Tranny” concerns with the prostitutes he hires. Transvestite was one of the victims.
Also I pulled this quote from an old article about JB, “Getting into his car, Brewer told the PIX 11 News, "I feel sorry for the true victims, I really do.". Any other day I would of read right by this without much of a thought, but for some reason, today I read it as he feels sorry not for the prostitutes, but for (My interpretation) their kids and family that they ruined with their drug use and prostitution. The “true” victims. And this is not a solitary thought as previous killers have put forward these same thoughts about "if they are on the corner tricking and under the influence of narcotics, who is at home watching their kids.". I do not have a link or anything, it was just a line of thinking I remembered from reading previous cases.
