What blew me away is the one-upmanship Bertolino pulled releasing the suicide letter with in 30 minutes of telling NS/PR they couldn't have a copy.That's really interesting! Thanks!
Brian Entin--in the comments following the original Twitter post says he contacted Bertilino and asked about the letter, Bertilino responded with, "I do know it's a movie and what she wrote on the cover of a letter to Brian many months before the trip had the title of the movie on there."
Not being a much of a movie fan, I had to google that, but, sure enough, there is a movie named, Burn After Reading, that was released in 2008.
To me, it seems odd that the FBI would arrange for both parties to pick up the deceased children's respective possessions at the same time. That just sounds like borrowing trouble, and it also sounds as if NS was hesitant--at first--when she knew SB would be there. I'm glad the tension level dropped, and that she was eventually comfortable, though.
PR also mentioned the letter was once in the van but seized from the Laundrie's house. Did BL take it inside? Did his parents go through the van and take it inside along with other possessions? Either way, it seems to me that most parents who were in the Laundrie's position--and knew law enforcement was gearing up--would have gone through the possessions/evidence they had access to, and if there was anything incriminating, they would have gotten rid of it. MOO
This whole thing is just too weird. I get the impression as another poster mentioned, that Reilly may be doing a bit of one-upmanship and that when the letter is finally released, it won't be anything of value. MOO
Others were shocked as well.
