TX - James, 48 & Michelle Butler, 46, driving RV to Fort Lauderdale from Corpus Christi, 14 Oct 2019

[zecats]

I'm wondering if the Butlers sent the text about camping on the beach. We know they checked out of the RV park, and hopefully it has been confirmed that it was the Butlers who checked out. If the female suspect registered their vehicles to camp on the beach, that would have been October 14? A text was sent - was that October 16?

I'm half wondering if they were kidnapped on October 14 at the time they were checking out of the RV park. Maybe the two couples became friends and drove down the beach together, but the Butlers did not intend to camp there. Things went wrong, and their vehicles were then registered as belonging to the Utah couple.

I suppose I'm trying to figure out when this started and whether the Butlers were on the beach by choice.

Check out photos from this article showing them setting up camp and talking about heading to Florida by way of New Orleans. It had to have been their message. IMO

If she was in on it and didn't actually pull the trigger she is just as culpable as he. Assuming they were shot. We don't have cause of death yet.

Exactly.
She must have been in on it. There were lingering around for up to 7 days before crossing the border. Surely she had an opportunity to contact authorities about the murders if she was not a participant in the murders and thefts.

has there ever been any news about the cats?

has there ever been any news about the cats?

Nothing that I have seen as far as them being located. Sadly.

he would have, i don't think that offense occurred in prison, it was just asked whether it was.

Even worse, that he was not in prison, for raping someone... Then upped his crimes by committing murders... Even a young child did not stop his violent ways... Lucky the child is alive...

has there ever been any news about the cats?

No sadly. Only a post on Missing James and Michelle FB page with a reward and their names/photos. Gizmo, Moana, and Chloe.

Thinking that the cats probably ran away when Michelle and James were killed, and were lost at least a week before anyone was reported missing. I have pretty much lost hope they will find the kitties.

I hope the cats were found by folks who don't realize who they belong to and are safe.
ETA-It would be nice to hear they were found and returned to the Family at some point.

Thanks for the video. Great to see him waddling in his chains. Waste of skin and air space

So she filled out a false report claiming the Butler’s silver truck and camper were hers.

And their vehicle was abandoned.

So LE at least has her for felony robbery, carjacking.

Does anyone familiar with the area know the distance to the parking lot where the suspect’s truck was abandoned?
Given they had a young child with them:
One might have driven their Utah vehicle, while the other one followed for a ride back, using the victims’ vehicle...
So if distance was involved in ditching their vehicle; both would apparently have been involved in the cover up, following the murders too...

I very much look forward to her perp walk as well

I couldn't help but laugh when I read one of the heavy articles. I had posted prior that I would be glad when his sorry tattooed azz was in jail. Then I read he actually has tattoos on his sorry azz

For sure!!!!

That would explain why the RV was seen alone on the beach that one day, Oct 19. Makes sense that's how they ditched their own vehicle.

I am thrilled that these two were captured! Once they went into Mexico, my fears were this case may be difficult to solve.

It appears this may have been a crime of opportunity. He/they proved they weren’t good at it with the trail left to follow!

Just leaving this here for reference. To show the Butlers had been shopping at Cavender's Boot City and how close the Weber Bingo is to it

Wow, the mug shot of her sure doesn't look like the picture from FB.

Did she dye her hair and wash her face after the murders to create a disguise?
