I didn't see anything about a belt in that article, did I miss it?
All interesting but this part stood out to me, what is she saying, that she gave police a tip about Burke or some other Oak Beach resident that may be a POI in the LISK case? Who? Brewer? Hackett? Burke? And is she then saying she gave them a confidential tip and LE turned around and told the guy? And that' she then contacted the filmmakers and was put in touch with Ray? She did so because LE failed her and outed her to the very person she thought could be a POI? It's not really clear but that's the way I'm taking it? How did you take this part? See below.
"Leanne learned Burke’s true identity, she told reporters, from a friend after the second encounter, and again recognized him on TV after his arrest for beating Loeb. She said she later contacted police with a tip about an Oak Beach resident that she said could be a person of interest in the Long Island Serial Killer case, and told reporters that police had informed that man about her tip. That’s when she contacted Josh Zeman and Rachel Mills, filmmakers of
The Killing Season, a docu-series about the LISK case that
recently aired on A&E. The duo put her in touch with Ray."
This was years back before CB would have been known of to any or to them most likely and so the interest in Burke is not surprising. It's also significant his being at an Oak Beach party, etc. and more details she gives. Ray does make leaps though as he recently did with the daughter, cannibalism and the like, and he did it hear saying that puts Burke in the Gilbert thing when it doesn't, not in the way a LE and any trial would have to connect such. It's interesting and may be something in a civil trial which has lesser bars to reach than criminal but he skips dots, John Ray does.
I mean I get it, and I got it even with the daughter but this kind of thing is what also gets him a fair amount of detractors who think he's just going beyond what most would. Had he just pointed out Victoria's pictures and given how this really should give some reason for thoughts and further investigation, but he about outright accuses her and the whole family, and he does the same here with Burke. And you know darned well I am not defending that disgusting corrupt PIG of a "man". HE will and probably has by now maybe asked Burke about these couple of parties this girl dealt with him at, who else was there, and more in depositions. Civil cases are completely different than criminal where the accused or defendant never has to speak. That's his angle with most of these things but still he is leaping to conclusions that there is no evidence of.
Burke is a pig but this was back before CB was known of, at least that we know of and now they have the LISK suspect. Ray was trying to make him seem to be that suspect at that time or some part of it. And/or at least how it related to Shannon. Everyone was looking at everyone and Burke just being in Oak Beach and paying an escort and getting physical with her and his notoriety that was starting to show with things he did would be enough for Ray and Gilbert's family to suspect him, he squashed the investigation basically or anyone looking for her. So yeah there's reason but there is no mention of CB here at these parties because it was before we ever heard of him and I'm not sure he is the type to have attended such but WHO KNOWS, if the swinging thing is true, then he was the type perhaps... I could see either case.
I truly think he committed these murders alone as a lone wolf but I do allow for finding it hard to believe Asa nor the daughter never knew a thing or picked up on anything OR even knew more than that.
Again I saw absolutely nothing about the things you said about the belt. Did I miss it?
