Deceased/Not Found Canada - Alvin, 66, & Kathy Liknes, 53, Nathan O'Brien, 5, Calgary, 30 Jun 2014 - #15

When I read posts here I have certain voices assigned in my head. One that I "hear" is Carry Preston in her role of the Goodwife, she plays Elsbeth Tascioni, here is a description of her character...

I don’t think it’s a secret. I don’t know if Elsbeth ever thinks of herself that way, but her mind is definitely very nimble. She will spend just as much energy in her mind looking at someone’s outfit as she will trying to solve a case. Both of those things get equal attention in her mind, and that’s what makes her so delightful. I like to call her a scatterbrained genius. She’s someone who can actually have that many thoughts going on in her mind and still get things done.

She cracks me up!

ETA.. I am going to find the pic of Sam Elliot from the 80's because I am too young for him now....lol!

I don't really understand how that all works either, sounds very complicated (but might not be for a pro).

That's where I think paper trails (or nowadays might be more of digital trails) possibly come in. Not saying DG did this but maybe by creating companies, company owners that are non existent, employees that don't exist, etc. But who knows, might be too elaborate, maybe not.

I tried googling identity fraud briefly, but most results are about digital identity and money theft of alive people (scams getting access to credit/banking info). If I was more patient, I'd search more, probably very interesting.

Ah! Just found this....Identity Theft of The Dead...http://www.today.com/id/18495531/ns...obbery-stop-identity-theft-dead/#.VBfCYsb4CM8
I guess they stop at nothing...and, it doesn't cost much to get the required information to apply for credit cards, etc. in a deceased's name. Sad.

Now I'm going to hear Elsbeth's voice everytime I read your posts! LOL!

Lol! Try reading a few sleuthers posts with her in mind and you will be entertained

I'll take the blame for the tension! I had no intention of becoming the champion for speculation, or the hot oil for split hairs...

It's the open exchange of ideas and theories that produce great information like that piece on the ins and outs of chemical importing and transportation. I just want to preserve that.

And I vote no to Sam Elliot being sexy... what can I say... I've been disagreeing all day, why stop now?

I don't think anyone is to blame, personally I like a little drama as long as no one gets hurt or too offended. It's so easy to take things personally in these kind of conversations, but I think us sleuthers have good debates… Dynamic discussions are the best ones and we all have different views, thank goodness as the world would be an awfully boring place if we all thought the same!

I'll have to check that show out now! Never watched it, I heard it's good though. Must watch more TV and sleuth less I guess!

ETA - I better say thanks, I'll take this as a compliment of sorts, and if not, that's okay too lol

There is still the possibility that the 'bank card obtained by crime' belonged to one of the Liknes'. It may have been taken in an attempt to cover up the murder as a simple vanishing/leaving town.

Just having the card may not have been enough evidence at the time to hold him on murder.

Of course I agree, that it is probably more likely that DG was in possession of a MKH card, but the other theory is not beyond unreasonable.

And if it was belonging to a Liknes, that would surely be some damning circumstantial evidence.

I was just going to do that, hilarious! I was just thinking should I….should I….good call!

Back to business... So here is something that has popped back in my brain...
Many weeks ago a fellow sleuther found a kijiji ad from a diver dude that had listed some items, a pair of reading glasses and a wedding band I believe. They were found in the water or on the grass, close to the crime scene and within the time frame, if I recall that correctly. Anyway, I think she contacted the diver or forwarded the ad to LE. I wonder if anything came of that. (I think it was Kaley...where are you Kaley?)

Wow, good memory. That's right, forgot about that. What did happen I wonder??

 

[Tinkerbel1]

Please excuse my ignorance, oversight or lack of memory...but that sweatshirt that DG was wearing when he was being taken in to get processed had the logo Paramount Resources on it. Has anyone checked into possible involvement with them? Wonder where or how he got that sweatshirt? Not that it matters, but it might.

 

[Tinkerbel1]

That's an interesting point! It wouldn't surprise me at all if Alvin solicited investments from everyone he knew, including his daughter in law's family. If the accused put everything in one basket, and lost it all, he could have been angry enough to retaliate.

Just curious Otto, if you think AL may have solicited investments from everyone he knew, do you think he may have solicited investments from his daughter EL and maybe FC as well?

 

[ABro]

Correct. No one has explained, thus, no one has made that accusation. Get it now?

This is what's known as innuendo.

This is what's known as innuendo.

The only people making the link between the victims and organized crime, are those who keep accusing others of doing it.

Let it go already.

I didn't know what the ones with feet are called...lol[emoji188]

Onesies

 

[Krystine]

Yes, but that voice...I keep rewinding the Dodge truck and Coors Light commercials! Lol

Or as LE puts it..."leaving no stone unturned". Question...do you feel that the Defense will not be looking down every single avenue ... Including this one? KR definitely will be, IMO.

Now that we've decided that Calgary oil executives are sneaking out of the 37th floor of the oil company building to do drug deals in the back alley, what next?
