A significant step forward. Homicide Bureau Forwards Request to DA for Legal Action Against Son of Pepperdine University President. http://malibusurfsidenews-blog.blogspot.com/2013/03/sheriffs-department-seeks-criminal_6.html#links Of special note the lead detective Tim O'Quinn emphasized...

Anne Soble has been persistent here, http://malibusurfsidenews.com/ Current edition pg 3 touches on previously unknown information regarding the arrest and timeline of events the Wendsday prior to CB's arrest. Quick bit there too on the questioning my father and O'Quinn did with CB.

http://malibu.patch.com/articles/pepperdine-president-son-will-not-be-returning-to-campus Chris pleaded not guilty at his arraingment, did not post bail. Quite a few different online sites updating the ongoing story and the ties to my sister's case. Still never a geniune honest response...

CB's arraignment was 8/27, but i'm not aware of the result yet. I have a guard up for answers from him. The DailyB gave as much info as I currently have about the meeting with Chris, he took care to not touch on specifics with Katie.

The case is being closed by LASD. The most immediate source of answers was kept secret the entire time and he has chosen to not come forward to speak with my family. His FB page indicates he was/is in Mexico City. His last txt to Katie indicates a third party was present and implied concern...

Thanks for the look imamaze. There has not been a lot of new news, though i'm hopeful the media exposure leads more interested parties to this forum and discussion. Anne Soble of The Malibu Surfside News is still reporting the case. pg 13 Here I have some update and posted most of...

Hey darkly, welcome to the boards and thanks for being a voice. I think that quote is on target for placing light on the behavior of the Benton's. There is no question that they had an oppurtunity to do the right thing when they were made aware of the circumstances with my sisters death...

Thank you. I feel fortunate that I saw one of lovejac's comments on an article that led me to this community. The lead detective is aware of the thread. He is a helluva guy as is his partner, for all those following be confident in knowing that along with us here that there are very good...

At this time I’m confident that investigators and law enforcement with the help of the community and those willing, will reveal what happened here. Prints are back. Proves Chris at the house on the door leading to the garage where I found Katie. Up to this point I'm positive Chris...

Anne Solbe of the Malibu Surfside News remains a viligant eye on the story through her coverage. pg5 http://www.malibusurfsidenews.com/current_issue.pdf There are also letters to the editor that offer views into the matter. I'm currently frustrated that Chris is not being...

Thank you for sharing the memory of your mother. I'm in grief counseling. I also shared the memory with someone I trusted and respected and that helped me. I had the prominent memory of the "moment" issues for awhile, still do from time to time. I do remember her for everything else now...

Given the build up I'd love to take credit here! A friend of mine who has been very involved with me and my process put that item together.

Just a grandma :), i'm sure there are a few who describe you as, GRANDMA! With the Benton's involvement the politics angle can be a bit of a pitfall, because it provides an easy excuse for things that don't go the way I (we) would like things to go. But politics so far I believe have...

The support, thoughts, and efforts by those on this board are incredible. To all you guys, huge thanks. Though I don't write in daily I check in all the time, tremendous help you guys have been for me, my family, and friends who support this effort. Katie died. Needle marks on right...
