The pistol, the unusual $300.00 daypack, the coffee shop, the shell labeling and clues at the murder scene, the travel and overnight stay, the clothing, there is so much information of an unexpected nature that it is puzzling what it all means, is it as clumsy and strange as it appears or is some of it deliberate misdirection?
It will be interesting to learn the facts of this.
I don’t know if you have seen it, but Ian McCollum of “Forgotten Weapons” fame has a short video out, saying that he has fired both Welrods and the modern derivative. He says he is 100% certain the firearm in the video is neither one — just a 9mm semi-auto with a suppressor.
Deliberate misdirection and clumsy/strange execution could both be included here, by accident or design. This case will probably turn out to be simpler than it seems, but for now presents a knot of possibilities to ponder.
