The artile Death in the foothills someone posted a few pages back is really good.

In that article, it's mentioned that CRsr was helping Gary to get off the drugs. He took him to work and it said he took most of his pay to hold it for him and then went shopping with him (assuming here so he couldn't buy drugs and I'm also assuming hard drugs, not marijuana). So with that info, I wonder if some of the cash in the safe was Gary's that CRsr was holding for him?
The more I learn about this family, the more I just love them. Come he** or high water, when times got tough, they could and did pull together and lean on each other. That's a closeness that the Wags can't even imagine. Moo
 
No, and IMO it won't be unless someone leaks that information. Hopefully no one will stoop to that level.
There's nothing wrong with knowing the demographics of the jury. It's not as if they'll post their home addresses. MOO Our justice system was designed to be transparent. As far as I know, their identities will become part of the permanent record, no?? I'm not saying I want to know names, but I don't see the harm in demographics. MOO

"My thoughts on this is maybe they were either aware that KR goes over to CRsr's around 4 am to shower and head to work .. or they knew that BJM shows up early in the morning to feed the animals. Maybe they thought with the front door locked that one of those people would look through the window and didn't want them seeing the bodies .. and hoped it was still dark enough outside that they wouldn't notice the blood stains? MOO"

I have heard many times that Kenny showered over at Chris's but is this a rumor or is there a link to this?

Just if anyone knows.

All I could find:

"It has been rumored Kenneth went to his brother Chris's home every morning around 5:00 AM to take a shower before heading to work since he lived in a camper and may not have had running water hooked up to it."

There were at least 2 Rhoden relatives who lived on Kenny's road - one next door where he got his mail - so I don't see why he would drive literally miles to shower at Chris's house when other relatives lived right there plus Kenneth needed alot of time to drive to the city to work and had to have some water hooked up to at least cook and drink and wash his hands and water his plants etc... This isn't the 1800's.
In the pictures of KR’s place, you can see a frost proof faucet for a hose hook up. That and he had plants to water so saying he didn’t have running water makes no sense to me. My opinion only.
 
If a drug cartel wipes out the competition... would they not destroy the crops there or take them away?

I would show all the drug stuff... obviously it wasn't the reason for the killings. No need to avoid it IMO.
Not sure about the drugs but a cartel definitely wouldn’t have spared the dogs. Or the children at the other crime scenes. While brutal… it’s also the easiest and quickest way to deal with “distractions” that have the potential to slow them down.
 
The cash stories are an interesting side issue but it wasnt the motive for murdering 8. The motive is and always will be about the W4 wanting sole custody of the child.
i think custody started the convo to murder as a problem solver but i also believe the perks of cash and revenge on crsr by billy helped convince everyone what a great idea it was. ive said from the begining that crsr was a great grower and whether people want to believe it or not, great growers made well over 6 to 7 figures per year. crsr was on his way to becoming if not already a millionaire. off his own hard work. dont forget alaska. this had been billys life long dream as a prepper/conspiracy theory type. so the "dream is launched." angela determining the best way to motivate each wagner to do her bidding, as angela wanted sofia the most. jake obviously did not care about his daughter to let this happen
