Can't be his money. He's got a public defender = indigent.

i think he portrayed a different lifestyle to her. Probs that he was loaded $$$$$$$. but really what happened to the $300k they apparently stole?

Probably swallowed it, smoked it or injected it, etc.

true, or gambled it. since apparently were into hanging at the casinos.

Or he hid it, if he did indeed have it (which I'm not convinced he did).

If he can't show he obtain money legally, he might not be willing to show that he does indeed have it. Check the mattress.

Honestly, though, I'm doubting he has many assets beyond his wits and good looks. In other words, he's broke.

An interesting thing to note found from BB's York County, PA court docs is the recorded dates of her address and how they change in between June and November. All that is provided is town and state. On 6/29/17 it was listed as Newtown, MO. Although Iowa Courts Online shows she was actually in Decatur County Jail in Iowa from 6/30/17 until 7/7/17 when she posted bail .


Then she posted a $7500 bail to York County, PA on 9/14/17, so the Fugitive from Justice Charge was dismissed in Iowa on 9/15/17. BB did appear in person in York County, PA on 9/29/17. Then on 11/3/17 her attorney appeared and the court sent her papers via First Class Mail and that mail was returned to the court.


On 11/9/17 she filled out a change of address, to the Wilber address I am guessing as Newtown and Wilber are the only towns listed on her court docs. It seems she was able to get away with a fake address for a while. The whole thing is so peculiar and it appears she had a lot of money to post all this bail, travel around, and hire an attorney in PA. He doesn't seem to be appointed.


I don't think the pair keep a lot of tangible assets around either. I wouldn't be surprised though if they are pretty good at hiding cash. If BB and AT did hide money, I think they may have left it with someone (or somewhere) they trust in Missouri. Newtown, Missouri is about 5 hours due north of Taney County where they were first held. Not saying they left it specifically with anyone there but both BB and AT seem to have a lot of connections in Missouri (and Iowa).


Below is a snapshot of the most recent time line of filings related to BB's PA case. I am curious if anyone can explain better, as to the meanings of the last three entries dated 12/12, 12/13, and 12/14.


The other documents related to the Fugitive from Justice case in Iowa, the PA extradition hearing from June, and Governor's Warrant from August are all accessible as well.

Very interesting find! I did a little checking because the last three entries regarding bail piece has my attention now, too. I'm not an attorney, but I did find something online that might explain what is going on (bail piece).

It appears (IMO) that BB used a surety, likely a bail bondsman to post the $7,500 bond in PA.

It appears the bail piece was granted by the PA court and it provides authority to the surety (think Dog the Bounty Hunter) to apprehend and detain the defendant (BB). This happens when a defendant violates the conditions of their bail. I think the likely violation is that she has been charged with another criminal offense.

I don't think this allows the bail bondsman to get her out of jail in Wilber, but if she is released, my guess is they will track her down and bring her to PA.

On the issue of the FBI's apparent heavy involvement in this case, at first I thought their involvement was possibly because of a cyber crime, with SL being lured online. I did a search of other cases of online luring that resulted in murder, and in those cases, I am not seeing FBI involvement but that they were handled by local LE.

I can't help but wonder whether the FBI's heavy involvement in this case might be because they either suspect, or know of other crimes that bear a resemblance to what happened to SL, either in terms of missing persons or bodies found and they may be trying to rule AT in or out as possibly having been involved in those cases.

Not sure if any of you followed the Alexis Murphy case in Virginia a few years back, but the FBI got involved very quickly in that one, too. No interstate commerce. No cyber crimes. What they had was Randy Taylor who had been suspected in a number of murders of missing girls in that area. I think, like this one, they didn't want to let him slip away again. Thankfully, they were involved early in that one -- because they were able to get a murder conviction on him without ever having found Alexis' body.

Too many times in small, rural counties with very minimal experience with homicides, the locals do their best, but their lack of experience is their own worst enemy. We had a case 20+ years ago in our small community and it was the first murder that they had had in more than a decade. They still haven't made an arrest in that murder, although a friend of ours who is a local police officer said they know who did it -- they just cannot pin it on him because they made so many mistakes early on -- due to lack of experience. So...no matter what the reason is, I'm just glad that they were there from the get go.

What is this?

The multiple tangled webs associated with this case reminded me of the TV-show evidence wall from 'Homeland.'

Oh ok, because I was thinking those colors on the wall look like they match evidence markers in Sydney's case!

No, sorry for the confusion. The character had just had a manic episode and color-coded her wall. It was... epic.

Ahhh, I see, so she probably didn't pay cash. Thanks for that document. Imo, whoever set her bail in the first place really needs to go back and read page 8. BB would have failed pretty much every bullet point on that list of considerations for bail.

I agree. She wasn't underwritten very well. If she'd had a higher bond and no one was willing to come forth with the money, she might still be in jail, awaiting trial and this may never have happened to Sydney.

How did AT manage to escape charges in the PA incident? The conspiracy charge likely has to do with him being the co-conspirator, but the PA didn't charge him, too?

 

[yurena]

Yes! I noticed that too. My reference to it was "googly" but wonky is better. It's strange that he has that wonky eye in all of his mugshots except for the Iowa 2014 one where he has the longer hair and the most recent images of him. I suppose it's not anything relevant but seems odd that all of a sudden it's just gone.

A fellow teacher at the school where I work had an eye even wonkier than this individual and after surgery -actually not even that expensive, the equivalent of 2,000 dollars- he no longer has this problem. This AT might have gone through the same surgical procedure.

 

[yurena]

On a previous link attached to one of your comments, it was mentioned on a newspaper that AT arrived once at an antiques shop with two young women. I think the whereabouts of this second female -assuming the other female was BB- and especially her fate, what happened to her afterwards are key to both 1/ finding out motive for SL's murder and 2/ finding out what these two have really been up to since they met.

There does not seem to be as yet information on the exact year this two individuals met, location and the circumstances. This is key too imho.

I thought that was strange as well. In this article a PA State Trooper said that AT had used a false name. It also says they used a bank account actually in BB's name.
http://beatricedailysun.com/news/lo...cle_7ee494df-d07a-5b5b-a021-b1fdd50e50e6.html

I wonder if it's been only recently that PA courts discovered who he actually is. If they tried to verify the name AT used it would have checked out superficially, it's a real person. I would think this would have probably been figured out if they tried to actually issue a warrant for this person. Honestly, this should have been figured out when BB was being held in Decatur County Iowa jail since that is her hometown and the hometown of the name AT falsely gave.

In Iowa, there was no bondsman used, it was a straight up cash bond but no amount was listed. Not sure what the typical bond amount for "fugitive of justice" or if it goes according to the state of extradition. There is also no interested party listed. This is extremely odd because Iowa court files will list either the bonding agent or an interested party, the name of person who came in to pay cash. Once a case is disposed or dismissed in Iowa, a document is also usually filed showing how the bond is handled. But there's absolutely no further detail. The way it appears in the document flow, is that the cash bond she posted in Iowa was allowed to transfer directly to PA.

So in both states nobody had to sign for her? Even if she used a bonding agent in PA and they allowed her to sign for herself (which is rare imo) certainly they would have required proof of her assets or verified stable employment. I would think at this point the only ally she had is AT. This thing is so peculiar.

Wow. A 26 minute interview with AT? Aaaand this just got even more peculiar.
