Yesterday, while sitting on my porch having a cup of coffee, I decided to do some free flow writing regarding what we have heard and what we know to be true in terms of this case. I wrote for quite some time, and then was interrupted by a phone call. When I went back to re-read what I wrote, several things jumped out at him, that I hadn't paid any conscious mind to previously.
I had written on several things that were money related ( the debit/checking card, the $200 , the local who told us WH still had his side business and would actually go door to door to find extra work, WH's cocaine addiction, WH's other addiction, several of the accounts that were set up, and a few other things that I know, but can't discuss here). Money came up much more predominately than any other subject.
The second most written about thing was family dynamics (JH's past history with child support, WH and JH's recent split, JH's splits from RL and Zach, and again, several things that can't be discussed here on forum).
The 3rd thing I wrote the most about was sexual red flags, obsession and control issues.
What shocked me was that I had written/commented more about money that anything else. My gut has always told me that WH had an inappropriate relationship with AJ, or was obsessed with her sexually, and that this is why this beautiful young woman in no longer with us. But if I step away from my gut feeling...what I'm really seeing is more money and family dynamics at play here.
I'm not committed to any particular motive at this point, but that little freeflow writing excercise really forced me to take a step back from gut feeling, and reconsider other motives.
I encourage other WSers to give it a try.
