FL FL - Moses Lall, 31, and Lila Bueratta, 36, Loxahatchee, 5 June 1994

[Deleted member 287549]

Recently watched the old Disappeared episode on the ML/LB missing persons case. IIRC, I had previously seen this also featured on an old episode of UM.

Bizarre case involving the raising/selling of exotic birds/animals. I know very little about this 'world', and prior to seeing the episode didn't know that this seems to be a "Cash only" business in a lot of ways.

And, apparently a lot of money is involved here - given the amount these birds/animals are sold for. \ So, it seems to me that both ML/LB met with foul play - due to the money involved. Not clear what role (if any) the two hired hands/workers played in this case. Unfortunately, the investigation definitely seems to have stalled some time ago.

Can these rare birds be easily tracked?

I just watched this episode of Disappeared too (Season 6 Episode 14, "Birds of Prey").

- Hari was jealous of Moses and had a crush on Lila.
- There was a huge amount of cash there (tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands).
- Hari stole the $40K, it was retrieved and Hari came back to the bird farm.
- Hari impersonated Moses Lall.

- Why was Eyoum in NY, surely he would have discovered the absence, the distressed and dead birds etc?
- Eyoum's timeline is 'questionable'
- Also, Hari had called Eyoum to let him know apparently about all of this, and still all of the birds were left there and they both had knowledge that Moses and Lila had vanished.

Why did LE go to the workplace when Hari wasn't meant to be working, surely that would have given him the heads up?

Does anyone else think that they should remove the alligator from the pond and go back?

I felt so sorry for the mother and sister, she is obviously completely devastated.

Although I had already read about this case, I imagined it as a recreation of unsolved mysteries... the delivery man arriving at the ranch shouting that he had arrived with the requested merchandise and no one came out, he looked around and as no one came out and thought it was something strange, he left the package and left thinking that the next day he would go see if it was received... but when he arrived the next day it was where he had left it... then he gave notice and the authorities arrived 13 days later due to the "blessed" bureaucracy... then they found the guy who said he was someone else and let him escape never to be heard from again... besides the guy had a video where he explained how to change one's identity... and another guy in New York... what was he doing there? without giving notice or anything? surely he got money for his dirty work... and the animals died and the two owners are missing... surely dead...
whatever it may be
rest in peace
