What Im saying is that I am having trouble with understanding why they would be talking about a second safe with you ......When there main intention was to get people to STOP talking about it

I am trying to research this individual. I found this article. I do not think that it has been posted on here. If so, I apologize for posting again. This was when she was aka Coco.

I am trying to find all of her marriage licenses and to see who the witnesses were and then to research the witnesses since LPG and TG were a witness to this most recent marriage.

There has to be a link somewhere that is going to be a vital link. I just have to keep looking.

For those of you who know this family please email Tricia the owner of WS at [email protected] and let her know you are here and would like to post "inside" info. She will get in touch with you then and "validate" that you are who you say you are. Unfortunately this has become necessary here when someone posts as friend or family.

If anyone has further questions feel free to pm me here!

It has been a topic of conversation including among the family and friends for the last couple of days. I have known this family for the last 6 years. I talked to some family today after the funeral and in conversation we talked about the safes.

Thank you for clarifying and thank you for sharing with us.

I feel like we have scared everyone away with what they shouldnt post when really we are here to uncover truths.. and though things may be said I havent heard anyone suggest for a second the Billings' deserved this and that they werent WONDERFUL people..

With that respect I am really anxious to hear what NSC is working on

Darn right :blowkiss:And yes, NOBODY ever suggested that -- EVER! I am just so sick of hearing that because that is a FALSE statement -- ....back to quietly sleuthing....:crazy:. T

his thread hasn't exactly been super friendly to people trying to put together theories, plots, connections that are really NOT so out there... Esp after Sheriffs statement tonight.

IMO, this was a full blown hit - and murder was the intent - IMO, I don't think all the perps knew what they were getting themselves int - they have a lot to work out in the DA's office, thats for sure.

NSC, I too believe it was a full blown hit (sadly).

Good night to all!

Good night to all!

I'm wondering why you delete your posts on this board. Really, I am curious because this is a message board for WSers to gather information from other posters. If you have a question or comment for a particular person, why not just send them a PM?

 

[Gypsy Road]

Good night to all!

Good Nite Gazelle! Sweet Dreams!

Who in the world would put out this hit - that's the million dollar question!

Someone will talk. There are way too many involved in this to keep quiet. It will all come out. Unfortunately, a family is forever shattered and these precious children have lost their parents. That fact won't change no matter what the motive was or who was behind it.

Good nite, everyone!

God bless that something good can come from this horrible senseless tragedy. :hug:



A bittersweet introduction
Siblings separated by questionable adoption meet for first time at funeral
JULY 18, 2009

It was the worst possible time for a reunion.

At Pensacola Memorial Gardens on Friday, Regina Spence, 21, stood solemnly in a long black dress.

She didn't know Byrd and Melanie Billings, murdered in a home invasion July 9.

Nor did she know the Billingses' adopted son, Justin. But she knew that he was her 20-year-old brother.

My thoughts only, feel free to disect....

Gotta be a hit, even though maybe all the perps didn't know, but why take 8 PEOPLE if it was a simple robbery(money issue) only to be forced to hit the divide by 8 button?!!
You take your posse with you when you gotta overpower/subdue/kill/suppress/ and you bring military training. Also, a career military guy would not risk a good career for small potatos.
But PL,Jr.,and the Escalade guy were experiencing severe money problems.
So money was a motive, but not THE motive. Probably only one or two knew about the hit, that way 6 tell the cops "no sir, we was only after the money".
That helps their robbery only claim.
My head hurts, and it is late.

Okay. I'm stuck on Tabithia.

She's missing and has been for while?

If she's still missing, has anyone reliable seen her? If not, isn't it possible she might not even be alive? These people don't, after all, seem to mind killing people.

It's been reported that she contacted LE and is meeting with them on Monday. Yeah, the waiting until Monday thing is weird.

No way was this a "simple" robbery, as the prior statements given by the sheriff and/or the state atty, do not add up to the "downplaying" the state atty seems to be trying to do now.

There's too many things that are nagging me about this entire case, but the "movie script" comment and the rehearsing that they allegedly did is causing me far too many "flashbacks" for lack of a better word.

I really don't want to say too much, I lived in the Mobile-P'cola area for nearly 10 years during the 1990s to the early 2000s, with the majority of the time being in Gulf Breeze-Navarre. Some of the people that I worked for, you could say in a way used "scripts". The LPP/G I remember from back then, had quite a penchant for "drama", especially when it came to martial arts related matters, he was too melodramatic in my opinion. Given my knowledge of some people he had at the very least associated with for many, many years, I can easily see the "script" like qualities and rehearsals taking place.

The one thing that bothers me the most is the final 4 oddballs, the promise of money can send some people to do the ultimate act, but for the life of me I can't make any sense out of it. Knowing or suspecting that a safe could be in the home and thinking they would need help in carrying out of the house is the best I can come up with, aside from fear of other adults such as caretakers still being inside of the home, that would require more than 2 or 3 to "control".

Part of me wants to agree that perhaps not all knew that anything other than a robbery would occur, but the other part of me keeps holding on to common sense that when you go into a home or business with guns for a robbery, the possibility is more likely than not, that somebody is going to end up injured or killed. The risk was there and they all took it on knowingly. Every single one of them had at least 24 hours to a month to tip off that something might happen there or outright spill the knowledge of the intentions to LE and yet, all remained silent.

This reeks of a contract hit and I'm finding it impossible to believe that anybody, even a drama king would go through that much trouble preparing for a simple robbery and manage to get that many people to go along with it, let alone train for it and put it into action.
