LM, iirc, in an interview (vid), said that he wasn't ever down there, but then says he helped CR1, described the "business trailer" as nothing but a shell, and also says " his family had been riven by tensions and recriminations since the beginning of the year." (1)
'I didn't know anything about it [drugs]. We were a loving family.'
Fighting back tears, he said: 'My daughter would give you the shirt off her back. Everybody loved her. She didn't deserve this.
'She loved her kids. She would have died for them. She worked everyday.
'The rest of the family [
her children] all
seemed to be good…but I don't know about the rest of them [the other victims].' (1)
LM, to me, is saying, my daughter had nothing to do with this, my grandkids seemed like good kids, but I'm not so sure about those Rs. (I've thought about that statement many times throughout this case.)
Where BJM lived at the time of the murders, iirc, it was at least a 20 minute drive, to the Rs. There aren't really bus stops, the bus just picks kids up at the end of their driveway. Like the Rs, she lived around others in trailers, but it wasn't a trailer park, where all kids would meet at the entrance (I could be wrong, but based on where I believe that she lived at the time, her daughter would have just walked to the end of the drive. Though, it's possible, that BJM sat with her, in the vehicle, so that she could leave, right after the bus picked her up. Buses are usually fairly timely, within five minutes or so, when there's no bad weather.
BJM raising the kids/grandkids. I do not think that BJM killed her family, but, I do think someone knew she'd find them, and had feelings for CR1, thereby covering CR1, and locking the doors to that trailer, and FR's home. They knew she'd be by there early that morning, but they probably didn't know about the hidden key. I don't care which trailer she went into first, or which friend followed her inside, but LE probably would. We are talking that morning, within just minutes, after LE got there, you know they began taking her statement, and those of the friends. One friend stayed outside while she went into FR's. There were two, actual, witnesses. Completely incubated from the press, I might add, but surely
they remembered which one of them followed her inside FR's trailer, and which stayed outside. Also, you know that all of them have spoken about that day many times. It's different than one person, coming upon eight people, murdered, in one home. Fwiw, DS seems to have been shunned, by most all, though... His accountings must not gee and haw for folks.
The Ms got vehicles from CR1, and BJM, got a place to live, but it seems they paid for the vehicles, and BJM worked for both CR1, and KR. BJM, honestly, has been extremely close to the Rs since before old man CRsr died. I don't think that LM took anything from CR1, either, his son may have benefited from buying a vehicle from them, and making payments to them, rather than a bank though. Yes, CR1 wanted a better life for his family, but he chose a path, that could have
possibly, caused him to rub elbows, with folks, who killed him and his family. Do I think BJM had a hand in this? No. Possibly unwittingly? Yes.
LE has not offered protection to the families, or anyone else, for coming forward with information. They do not have the ability to protect anyone. This is why I have firearms in my home, and have a home plan. If I relied on the LEOs, in this county, to make it here, if I heard someone coming into my home, I'd be dead before I got the 9 dialed out. I'm guessing it's much the same there. Pike is a pretty big county, small population, sparse LEO force.
If the Ws were setting up the Ms, they did a very poor job. If the plan was as "sophisticated" as LE and the AG said it was, the Ms should be in jail, if it was a set up. I don't think the Ws are that smart. They've willingly and without much complaint, (until the big "show", when they went to AK), given LE everything they've asked. The courts didn't even give LE search warrants for the W's private homes. Only the land, and the trailers. If I were moving, and going to store anything related to a murder, it would not be in a bunch of livestock trailers, or in a barn, or sold to someone. It would be at the bottom of a river, in a burn barrel, or in a deep ravine, somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains. I'm just not feeling it with the Ws. I could be very wrong, but they just don't seem smart enough to pull this off.
I've had about 4-5 pet theories over the past two years, that I still hang onto , and they change places, with the wind, but the Ws, although in the list, have just never held a spot above four. They just don't have it, I don't think. In the link below, you can even see that even LM is pushing the "slapping" incident, which is not even in my top five. I don't know for sure if LM knows anything useful or not as he's thrown out 2-3 different theories that we've all discussed here, but, I do think that both the R and M, families, do know more than they are willing to share. That it was an isolated incident b/c CR1, KR, and likely GR, had gotten mixed up in something bad, that got them all killed, and they now don't want their families killed. In other words, they took a risk, and it turned out very bad. The assailant(s) won't be coming for anyone else.

Just some thoughts this morning.
