Ahh, a fellow speculator. There's nothing I enjoy more than speculating on an odd criminal case. Believe me, I'm no expert, but I love to contrive theories about why this or that happened. I blame my fascination on those old Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes movies. I must confess, I never believed her initial account.I thought she did the old boy in. Later, I gravitated to the insurance scam angle. They lived in Mexico and only recently returned to the States- only to be murdered on a simple sightseeing expedition. The fact they seemed so intent on being noticed sent out alarm bells. Now the drug involvement scenario seems fairly plausible. I mean, if they skipped out on a debt or were invading another cartel's turf, what better warning than to kill the husband. Or, maybe it was just a bunch of Mexican drunks who saw a nice looking blonde and shot the husband to grab the wife who managed to luckily escape. Still, using Basil Rathbone's spirit as a guide, I go with the insurance fraud- but my Ouija board has been wrong before.

That Jrandomfreeper fellow says we have no right to speculate.

Except damn, I thought this was America, Freespeech and all. It’s not like I’m an investigator or on the jury or anything. The last place you’d think someone would be condemning free speech would be on FreeRepublic.

And calling you names!

But I’ll respond to you only because you seem to think like I am.

My ouija board’s been wrong before, more than I like to admit.

But I’ll join you on the insurance fraud thing. I think her husband is still alive, I think their plan is to try and collect insurance money, I think they plan on hiding in Mexico.

I don’t think for a minute it will work but there does seem to be some form to the actions. They have this couple on video BEFORE they even entered the water. This proves they were together. I don’t know the circumstances of why they were stopped. Do you?

This alleged witness....strange. I wondered why this guy was not all showing up on the View, claiming his or her fifteen minutes. The obsessed ones say it’s because the witness is afraid that the Mexican drug Lords will kill him if his identity is known.

I guess that’s possible but.....strange is all I can say.

They don’t sound like any great Einsteins, those two. For now I’m thinking they thought they could pull some kind of scam, collect insurance, although they obviously didn’t know much about it. Insurance companies don’t just fork up big buck payoffs without a body...takes many years.

I also heard there was blood on her life vest....her husband’s blood. If so, well THAT’s an interesting development.

I’d also like to know what kind of life insurance that guy might have had on his life. I’m thinking someone somewhere has researched that factoid.
