That's fine we disagree on the belt. If the belt was left by Burke as in my theory, that would have been in '96 and the victim who had the belts on her was in 2007, so plenty of time laying around in the dump of a house to get Asa's hair on it. Maybe Asa had even worn it, if it was a designer belt. Also you mention at the end that his mother didn't remarry but I believe she did have a live in partner and when he died she sold the house for $320k and moved upstate, we found out IIRC. Also, for money, she had the house sale when she sold it to CB in '94.
yeah, not a big deal disagreeing about the belt. I really don't see your theory. I mean I get how bad Burke looks but just think that's a reach and would have to have several things come together. Also I just don't think the initialed cop is Burke, and the gf I don't think was a madam or never got that impression but who knows.
Burke is bad news but I tend to think he just didn't want the feds in his back yard finding out about his own activities and proclivities. It took some doing to catch CB and I just don't think they investigated sh*t back when to have any clue who did the murders. I do tend to wonder about the partying rumors and such but think a lot of them stem from John Ray through the years and even then it doesn't connect Burke and CB necessarily.
I guess I mean I just, even though entertaining other, see the most likely thing and logical thing and conspiracies that involve too much have to have a lot of things go on. Meaning he and gf had to be at CB's home first of all. Second of all she had to be wearing this belt or they had it with for some unfathomable reason. Then they had to leave it there. Then it has to have picked up one of Asa's hairs. Then CB had to use it later on as a belt on a woman CB tortured and murdered. That's a LOT that has to fall into place. And/or Burke and partner were part of the murder and there for it and Asa too but she is said to have been gone for the murders.
You know, I put on a recent one by Police Off the Cuff last night. It was about recent statements from Tierney. As I had it on, I did not find it all that revelatory and didn't really get into it where I paid a lot of attention but some of it was how he pretty much came out and said again after Ray said what he did about the daughter and her drawings and so on and the family that there is NOTHING that shows them involved and how they were gone for each murder.
I was tired, end of my full work week as my weekends aren't Sat/Sun but Thurs/Fri and I wasn't finding it what I thought it to be, maybe there was more of interest but kept it on in the background and never really picked up on anything of note but again I was tired.
I kept thinking a few things though. FIRST, as I've said before, yes the family seems to have been gone for most of these murders and it makes sense, it really does, that that is when he played and had the home to himself but again we don't know nor does LE when these women were killed, just when they went missing. I DO think there's a good chance the family was not involved or home for the murders though, it seems to be the case most likely. BUT what is his interest in getting out there and saying this for the daughter's sake OR Asa's sake? Seriously, why should he care? Asa and her attorney have went to sue them for like the search and destruction of their possessions, she supports CB the by far more than likely SK in this case, Asa moved to protect assets immediately screwing the victims out of assets and restitution or recovery that Tierney should care about first and who cares even if wrong if the public speculates, or John Ray, about what the family knew or their involvement. Why does he care enough to come out and emphasize there's no proof the family was involved? Seriously. He doesn't come out all the time and I think does a good job, I am not anti Tierney even though he is riding a wave that Harrison started putting a task force together and now Harrison is gone, you can bet due to politics and sides.
They have brought further charges for two more women and that's great, and I'm not ignoring that but what is his thing about never coming out much as they don't in investigations but emphasizing how the family is not involved and CB was a lone wolf. I take that to mean also not in tandem with some other killer or some deeper thing.
So in not really listening to POC because it wasn't what I thought it would be, and I wasn't really listening while it played, it seemed mostly to be about Tierney coming out saying they don't see anyone else being involved. Not Asa, not Victoria. Probably not Burke or anyone else.
Being tired I felt they are just covering any defense he could possibly dream up that Asa did it, Burke did it, Bitroff did it to ensure no defense that way or not enable one can be used. Again I didn't pay a lot of attention and there wasn't anything big in the show imo though as to Burke's recent remarks, he just seemed to be re-emphasizing that Asa and the kids weren't home per John Ray's claims or some such.
But again why care? They have CB dead to rights and it's almost like he cares about Asa and kids and wants such known. He doesn't come out over just anything. And again they are the ones profiting off this (her hub's/their father's murders of others) and suing with a sleaze bag of a lawyer in at least Asa's case.
Asa and the kids were common sense wise maybe not involved and were gone BUT whether they had a hint or knew is something else. But even so, they don't have proof of that and that's fine but why does Tierney care if anyone is wondering or Ray saying whatever that he comes out about that... About the kids and Asa.
I guess what I am getting towards here is IS Asa cooperating....? Helping...? I don't see another reason for him pointing this out when he gets on and points nothing on normally other than when they announce a newly charged murder or some such... And I don't see WHY he would other than to diss Ray without saying so, that he would defend daughter and wife, politics, or she is cooperating.
You know that show of Joe's was interesting the other night with that not young long time reporter.... And she said they moved before planned worried someone would say something at a BBQ and there was that kind of worry I'd assume their subject would find out they were near to an arrest of him. Of course in something so bungled and finally close to being solved and an arrest made of an SK, you'd not want to risk anything but he seems to go out of his way to get on when he never does to say no reason to think family or anyone else involved.
