Oh yea, Malvo was here all right. The pair was out shoplifting together 4 days earlier
- February 12 2002 - Tacoma - Muhammad is arrested for grocery store shoplifting, released on $900 bail, and is ordered to return March 06. Chris Brannan, who handled security for Argus Service Corp. that day saw Muhammad and Malvo putting items into a backpack. When she stopped him, he swore. "He called me names." she says. "He told Malvo to shut up and not say a word. He just said I'm not talking to you. I don't need to tell you nothing, you can't prove a damn thing."
And as for Isa Nichols, I think the press tiptoes around her 'business' relationship with Muhammad. Remember how Muhammad used to fix women's cars in return for sex? Well several of the Nichols women say he fixed their cars. Also, Isa hadn't worked with Muhammad for a long time (years?) but she still had a relationship because she knew of his whereabouts when NO ONE ELSE did. After Kenya was murdered, police questioned Isa and her husband about any affairs either might have had. They said none, but refused to take lie detector tests.
Thanks for your careful research. But what about "accessory to a crime." Texas used to give the death penalty for that. What about these other states? Surely the fact that Muhhamad provided the means and the training to the kid should count for something!
