Hi everyone, as I said on another thread, I've been reading through Blue Crab's posts, to try to understand what reasons he had for always being staunchly BDI back in 2004, way before all the recent CBD revelations. (I know many other posters were BDI back then, too).
I agree with singularity, that it's difficult to link a specific thread, as BC posted randomly, and his ideas evolved over time. I've dismissed his most "out there" ideas, such as the stun gun, but some of his other ideas do explain certain things and make some sense- it certainly makes you think. He was convinced that BDI with at least one other boy/child, and maybe even a teenager. He worried that an older teenager may have slipped unnoticed through the net, but wasn't sure. He did seem certain, however, that DS was involved, with BR. Could they maybe have been the "two people" in PR's quote?
BC's idea was that BR was up in the middle of the night, eating pineapple and waiting to let DS in and out of the house. His "evidence" of this "fifth person" was the fact that the outside security lights were turned off for the first time in years, the bike tracks leading away from the house, and even the two drink cans left in BR's bathroom sink. He also thought it explained SS's odd behaviour and closeness to the Ramseys after the killing.
BC even thought that JR and PR might not actually know which boy did what that night.
BC argued that the GJ knew both BR and DS were involved, and that there had been a legal coverup to protect them, as they were both under aged and could not be named or identified. His argument was to raise a fair question: as BR claimed to have been asleep that night, and saw and heard nothing, what did the GJ find to intensely question both him and DS about, for apparently over 5 hours?
I've no idea if there is any real truth in any of this. Some people wondered if BC had inside knowledge from somewhere. Although very interesting, and it does tie in to some aspects, I dismiss it, due to the fact that surely, if any fifth person was possibly involved at all in any way, other than JR, PR and BR, it would have come out by now. As far as I know, none of the well-known experts have ever spoken in any way of including a fifth person, whether DS or anyone else.
UkGuy had some good discussions with BC, and I'd be interested to know what he makes of any of BC's ideas now, in light of the recent BR media storm.
Anyway, just thought if I can't easily provide a link, this might at least explain some of BC's ideas regarding DS and SS.
