I'll just throw this out there, now that I have read everything and watched all the vids related to Ronnie Bolin.
Maybe the thing that TS found out about and wanted MS to distance himself from or lose association with CWW wasn't business related, theft, drugs or an affair. Maybe at some point she heard about RB and and that her husbands best friend was a murder suspect or person of interest. Maybe she confronted MS and said we can't have him around us, our family and our business. You need to end your friendship with him.
Maybe MS defended him, maybe she believed him, maybe she didn't. Maybe MS said it was possible he was involved in RB's disappearance. Maybe MS was stupid enough to tell CWW, hey my wife heard about the RB thing and she doesn't like it that you might be involved. CWW didn't like this, maybe his gig with MS and the business was good money and he wasn't going to lose it. We still don't know about the business model that SMS was referencing. A lot may have been at stake and now CWW was going to be cut out.
Or, maybe CWW thought MS told TS more about his potential involvement in RB's disappearance than he was letting on. Now he is freaking out and getting paranoid.
Maybe MS does know what happened to Ronnie Bolin for real and now CWW is worried that TS will blow it for him--more than just losing a IT gig, he could go away for murder. Murder is worse than drugs. So he decides to shut her up. In my book that would still make MS guilty-- if he knew that CWW was involved in a murder and supported him by keeping quiet and employing him to boot. In this scenario he probably never dreamed CWW would kill his wife to keep her quiet. Or maybe even more sickening, he thought maybe CWW would and maybe she was giving vibes she wanted out and this all could work so conveniently without even asking CWW to do some dirty work.
Maybe this supposed $10k was money CWW was paying JR out of his own pocket for help to shut up someone that could hurt him, not a payment from MS.
I know we have never been told yet why Teresa didn't go to CWW's wedding, but who doesn't go to their husbands best friend's wedding especially when he was going to be the best man. I know some have suggested that MS and CWW were not that good of friends. Not buying that. CWW had him as best man when they had not even lived in the same local for years, kept in touch by phone, CWW regularly was in Florida, (don't know what for, but I can imagine him and MS got together). He did work for MS and TS or at least in TS's case her business). They were friends, good friends. MS knew a lot about CWW past and present and stayed involved with people who were involved with CWW over the years, he visited regularly.
And the tie in with RB is so very interesting. Especially with MS's prior engagement/ fiance. Yes it is a small town. MS had to have heard the rumors about his friend CWW lawyering up and not wanting to talk to authorities about the case. Again, it is a small town. MS had to have known he had connectivity to both families. Maybe there is a stronger tie in to Ronnie Bolin than just CWW is connected to both. Maybe TS's tragic death is the consequence of knowing too much.
She comes up with things we've talked about and then gathers even more info. She's good!
