Dear lovely people:
My outstanding questions about this case have to do with poor Brooke and her 14 year old cousin-
If Brooke had been threatening to tell, why would she have gone with her uncle and her cousin especially with the drop off at Cumberland Farms, walking in the opposite direction and then being picked up again by them- set up?
I think MJ finally decided he wanted to kill-or finally decided he wanted to kill in Vermont depending on whether or not you believe this is one of more incidents. Why Brooke? That question may never be answered. But I feel that there is still a set up going on here, like he "accidentally" killed her during rough sex or something of that nature....I think the "take down, tie down" remark to AR is closest to the truth of what was planned.
I agree with Adnoid that the family most likely knew where she was and perhaps what had happened to her which is why they were reluctant to involve police.
But most disturbing of all, I think that AR is perhaps in a little deeper than the stories that have been published so far, and that there is definitely an unexplained gap from where MJ allegedly took Brooke upstairs with him, and then eventually came down and asked AR to leave. At some point the "minor" boyfriend showed up and took her away "without" entering the house. I realize that AR is a victim-but I think that we will find she had another role here...jmo.
Dysfunctional does not cover these dynamics-it is almost mind blowing.
