Playing devil's advocate here after a vry brief cursory review of the thread and fb page:
1. Total layman's question: What type effect does cirrhosis have on bacteria in the gut area and post mortem changes? Could there be legitimate explanations for the decomp speed increasing bc the liver was failing- it wasn't filtering right in life, if she was full of toxins could it cause postmortem interval to appear longer?
2. It sounds like her husband had a job that exposed him to ppl with means? What was it he did for a living?
The pics: I do see a difference in her earlier pics when compared to the pic of your visit with her. (The pic of you standing behind her and your aunt.) That pic does look like the woman in her more recent passport photo iMOO -- with 1 addition- top lip injections. )
3. I am not sure what the son did though? I assume not pick up the urn? Not questioning her death more? Do we think he played along to set a woman up in their home to die so his mother could skip town?
4. I understand the family is probably incredibly angry with this Alice and or her mother? How do we know Alice sold the art work?
5. How do we know the Aunt was scared of anyone? Is it possible she was scared of them bc she was the 1 who sold the family art from the trust and didn't want them to spill the beans?
Be mindful that I have not had time to present all the facts.
YOU:
1. What type effect does cirrhosis have on bacteria in the gut area and post mortem changes?
ME:
A very good question for our WS verified experts to entertain. Alcohol and penicillin, which there was aplenty, generally kill bacteria. But your guess is as good as mine.
What we do know is that several witnesses described Alice as healthy and active, and she went skiing on the Italian Alps just one month before a body riddled with cirrhosis and emphysema was found in her bed.
Alice’s physiological profile does not match the physiological profile of the body. The only reasoned conclusion is that these are two different people.
Google your question and tell me what you find out, as we wait for WS’ experts to weigh in.
YOU:
Could there be legitimate explanations for the decomp speed increasing bc the liver was failing- it wasn't filtering right in life, if she was full of toxins could it cause postmortem interval to appear longer?
ME:
Another great question for our WS verified experts to entertain. Or ask the all-knowing Google. We remain captivated by the fact that we are dealing with two totally different physiological profiles.
YOU:
2. It sounds like her husband had a job that exposed him to ppl with means?
ME:
Assuming that you are referring to TB’s “day-time-job” at Hill & Knowlton, a global public relations corporation, sadly I have no idea.
He and Alice told everybody around them that he had a “day-time-job” at Hill & Knowlton. Records from Hill & Knowlton seem to indicate otherwise:
UK Corporate records indicate that TB resigned from Hill & Knowlton on “02/09/2009”.
Another internet record maintained by a watchdog-type entity from Germany indicates that TB went “inactive” as of “2008-11-05”.
UK Corporate records also seem to indicate that TB hasn’t been employed by Hill & Knowlton since 1994.
TB was employed by Hill & Knowlton years before he met Alice. Then he married Alice in 1993. And his employment with Hill & Knowlton seems to have ended a year later. This timeline is consistent.
Why would TB tell the Police that he was employed by Hill & Knowlton and that he was getting transferred to Dubai, when, as the records indicate, he was not employed by Hill & Knowlton? Did Terence fall victim to greed? Greed has the potential of making its victims do some amazingly stupid things. Like faking an employment history to create a “legitimized” source for the money?
YOU:
What was it he did for a living?
Me:
Assuming that you are referring to TB’s “day-time-job” at Hill & Knowlton, I have no idea.
And again, what he and Alice were telling everybody yet what Hill & Knowlton corporate records say, are two different stories.
You:
The pics: I do see a difference in her earlier pics when compared to the pic of your visit with her. (The pic of you standing behind her and your aunt.) That pic does look like the woman in her more recent passport photo iMOO -- with 1 addition- top lip injections. )
Me:
If “iMOO” means “in my opinion” then if you are saying that Alice in the 2001 photograph with Aunt Marie and I, looks like Jane Doe, then that is your absolute right to have your own opinion.
Alice puckered up as soon as Aunt Marie showed up. Until that moment, Alice was all giggly and joking and happy, and as soon as Aunt Marie showed up, Alice changed to a silent panting attitude, as if Aunt Marie had Alice on a leash.
Alice’s demeanor impressed me that she was living under her Mom’s heavy thumb. But this is all in hindsight.
In any case, I was there and that was Alice. If you know a facial recognition analyst, have then run a facial recognition test.
YOU:
3. I am not sure what the son did though?
ME:
Except for what I have read and was told, I have no first-hand knowledge, either.
YOU:
I assume not pick up the urn?
ME:
I know that from what the staff told me at the crematorium. They were even kind enough to send me proof.
YOU:
Not questioning her death more?
ME:
I have no idea. Abandoning the urn makes it look like he knew whose ashes were in the urn? And don’t forget the 2006 Christmas photograph: run that past a facial recognition expert.
You:
Do we think he played along to set a woman up in their home to die so his mother could skip town?
ME:
I have no evidence that he actually participated in the act, though accomplices are as culpable and as responsible as the actual killer.
According to Komisar Michal, AAB identified the body at the police morgue as Alice. If the police reopen the case and conclude that the body is not Alice, would that make AAB an accomplice? That is another good question for the WS verified LE and attorneys to opine on.
Don’t forget: the home was clean and free of vomit, blood, etc. Yet the body had dried vomit all over her face. You can’t have it both ways. How do death scenes where somebody chokes to death on their own vomit, typically look like? WS experts please weight in.
Why don’t you ask AAB?
YOU:
4. I understand the family is probably incredibly angry with this Alice and or her mother?
ME:
At first I was shocked and saddened, but I could never be angry at a victim of greed. Do I think that Alice and her accomplices need to answer to the law for what they did? Absolutely: who else will stand up for Jane Doe?
YOU:
How do we know Alice sold the art work?
ME:
AAB had Christies and Sotheby’s stickers on his million dollar Porsche 918. Go figure.
Alice never worked a day in her life yet she managed to accumulate millions of dollars. If she got this money legitimately (lottery, inheritance, etc.) then she would have had no reason to be paranoid about the tax revenue agents.
Sure, Alice could have stolen the money, robbed a bank, was laundered somebody’s money: but of all of the possibilities, the most probable one is that she got the money through her unauthorized sales of art pieces.
YOU:
5. How do we know the Aunt was scared of anyone?
Me:
I can only make a reasoned inference from the facts and circumstances. What is your conclusion, based upon these same facts and circumstances?
You:
Is it possible she was scared of them bc she was the 1 who sold the family art from the trust and didn't want them to spill the beans?
Me:
You are asking me to speculate.
The art collection was extremely large: Several hundred paintings and then the sculptures, musical instruments, furniture, etc. So if Aunt Marie had flooded the art market with that much art then the art world would have gone into crisis mode and everybody would have heard about that. I would say that even now, for the most part, the collection is still intact. It may be in the possession of third parties who are “holding” these works for Alice or AAB, but my opinion is that Aunt Marie did not flood the art market with the entire collection. That would have made international headlines.
Unlike Alice and AAB, Aunt Marie was neither a show-off nor a spendthrift.
