It seems they’re dumb enough to not consider LE communicates on a national level & that Alaska, too, has FBI & the FBI is on standby, always, to assist any law enforcement agency requiring help. It matters none if the crime is federal, or not. FBI has unlimited resources! Small towns have limited resources and less experienced LE. It would be easy-peasy for the FBI to find out where the W’s were going to live in AK. I know W’s claim they told local LE they were moving, perhaps they did & supplied a forwarding address. If not, no big thing, the FBI could find out within hours. Also, didn’t Pike county or OH officials state detectives had spent substantial time in AK?
Wait until discovery is released, I’m saying it again, the W’s were under surveillance by day two. No matter where they were. At any time the DA might have authorized an arrest, LE was right behind them. Remember, the police could NOT make an arrest until such time the Atty Gen/DA agreed the evidence was sufficient. Tail them, make sure they don’t kill anyone else....don’t let them out of site was the modus operandi.
Uhhhmmmmmm....just saying, when cell phones are bugged, it’s quite simple to capture the call data. “Hi, this is AW, my family is moving to AK & would like to rent the trailer you have advertised at..........”. GOTCHA. Then, the info is turned over to AK LE & “presto”, the trailer is prepped. All the while the idiots are still in OH stowing away evidence.
