Hi guys. Had to step away for a bit. This one is heavy. (As you all know…
So as for AB's involvement, bear with me as I outline some of what has been rolling around in my head....
Given the information we have at this time, I have a hard time differentiating whether AB participated in the death or was merely complicit through ignoring what was beneath his nose. I know this is a HUGE difference legally, but believe it's not so different morally. (And even legally, can't one be charged with a crime that someone else did that you were present for and did not stop, or were aware of and did not report?) So I am looking at three basic possibilities here:
A. He participated in (or was aware of) Zahra's death, and actively participated in the dismemberment and dispersal.
B. He was not involved in anything but a coverup (others were involved in the death/dismemberment/dispersal, but he actively lied to cover for them).
C. He is completely innocent of knowledge about what happened to Zahra, who did it, or any cover-up attempts.
A. Items that indicate AB participated in (or was aware of) Zahra's death, and actively participated in the dismemberment and dispersal:
1. Zahra was not seen by neighbors at the 21st Ave. NW home or neighborhood since they lived there.
2. AB did not appear to mention that he had a daughter to the neighbors there.
3. AB had access to the tools necessary to dismember Zahra, and intimate knowledge of how to use them (i.e., which tool might be best for which part of the job--not that it had to be him operating the equipment!)
4. AB himself floated the kidnapping theory in his 911 call.
5. AB was confused as to the last day he "100% genuinely saw Zahra out of bed"--Tuesday. No, Thursday.
6. Cadaver dogs hit on both the Camry (“family car”

and the Tahoe (AB’s “work vehicle”

during the search of the house and grounds.
7. Early reports from LE that while AB was cooperating, it was less than enthusiastic, and from other LE that they did not believe he was sincere, and then LE refusal to say whether or not he was cooperating (

8. LE decided early in the investigation to search AB’s work site.
9. AB clearly participated in the decision not to enroll Zahra in school this school year. “Zahra attended Hudson Elementary School in third grade during the latter part of the 2008-09 academic year, then in 2009-10 for fourth grade. She did not return this year, and according to several reports, her parents told Caldwell County Schools officials that they were home-schooling their daughter.” Read more:

B. Items that indicate AB was not involved in anything but a coverup:
1. His inability to keep a storyline straight may indicate that it is not a story that he concocted, but instead he was trying to remember “instructions” given by another.
2. He was in a line of work that can require long work days, including leaving before Zahra may have been out of bed and returning after she was asleep. Absent AB’s work records such as timecards, we can’t determine how much he worked in the weeks leading up to her death.
C. Items that indicate AB was unaware of what happened to Zahra, or of any cover-up attempts.
1. Anecdotal reports from AUS and US that EB was manipulative and controlling, while AB was meek.
2. EB able to trick AB into thinking that AY was her brother, not her husband.
Just my thoughts... I'm sure I am forgetting things here so feel free to add or disagree or ignore completely!
