Well, their son Aaron, Seth’s brother was also involved in leaking emails. Maybe they were told he would be killed as well.
Wow. Been doing more research and they apparently have Wheeler
on secret recording talking about the case, and the statements about Aaron are rather astonishing.
He seemed to have gone out of his way to make sure no investigations or even questions were asked about emails...
Aaron, according to Wheeler, had Seth’s computer, but refused to hand it over or talk about it. Sounds like Aaron really did not want anyone to solve the case...
Not too strange perhaps, if his life was in danger...Or even facing the possibility of a lengthy jail session for felony computer crimes..
From what is apparently a secret recording of Wheeler made by Butkowski...
