It is no secret on here that I think Jake was the driving force behind these murders. He was the one who had the most to gain. It was Jake's show all the way. His GF, his child, his GF's family. I think Jake is a master manipulator who badgered his mother every day by saying that they were going to lose SW if Hanna decided not to let him see SW, by bringing in the crime Hanna's grandfather was charged with, by pounding it into everyone's head that if Hanna so decided no one would ever see the child again. Angie may have planned the murders, but Jake was the driving force behind the decision to carry them out. And he did it simply because Hanna had the strength to leave him and stay away from him. Keep in mind the first year after a woman leaves is the most dangerous for her and the murders occurred less than a year after she booted him to the curb.

Thankx for your post.. Humm.. very interesting. Who is the mastermind of the whole thing? You think Jake, and that he manipulated and badgered Angela into it. But I wonder if Angela is really the true mastermind?
So here's what we know:
Billy's lawyer actually said in MSM, link was posted a few times, that LE was calling his client the "mastermind" and the lawyer made sure the prospective "jury pool"
understood that Billy was too uneducated to pull something like that off with just a mere 7th grade education. However, he was
likely proud of being called "Bad Billy" and he was a bona fide thief.
So then you have Angela, masterminding the custody documents, faking signatures left and right and telling her mom to lie. Wait--
Oh this isn't just about Angie asking mom to lie, Angie was wanting much more out of poor mom:
1.) Sit over a year on house arrest - very difficult to do for that long - tethered to an ankle monitor.
2.) Take 4, no wait, that's not enough, take 5 felony charges without complaint.
3.) Get arrested and have your picture put up for all the world to see and your reputation ruined - hopefully that will heal now.
4.) Make the news and videos for everyone to watch every time your in and out of court.
5.) Wait, sit in jail for a few nights and pray for bail, then come to court in handcuffs and jail scrubs for the world to see.
6.) Go through a trial with the 50/50 chance you will end up in prison.
Ok, and the real kicker? When your mom tells you that she's afraid that having phone conversations with you might get her thrown in jail (house arrest revoked) make sure to call and talk to her more!
So now we see how Angie treats her own mom.
Then there is the "golden boy" Jake. Born with a silver "grandma Fred spoon" in his mouth. Not alot known about him because you can't believe one dang word that comes out of his mouth or that he puts down on paper.
So who is the real mastermind? Such a good question.
