TMZ has confirmed Bahamian police indeed are investigating an alleged extortion plot against John Travolta, but it does not involve pictures of his dying son.
We're told several people allegedly have demanded $20 million from John and cops are on the hunt. We now have confirmed that the alleged extortion attempt does not involve pictures of Jett as he was dying. As for what the extortion attempt is about....no one will say.
UPDATE: We've confirmed the alleged extortion is over the circumstances surrounding Jett's death, but we have no more specifics. And, we've learned, it was Travolta's reps who contacted cops and lodged the complaint.

I’m not a fan of travolta or celebrities in general, but this is awful.
After Anna Nicole’s son’s murder and non investogation - I would avoid the Bahamas.
DILLIGAF?
Travolta was probably in bed with Tom Cruise when it happened...discussing Scientology.

The Church of Scientology tries everything it can to avoid being forced into a courtroom, I’ve seen the lengths they’ll go to in the past.
It will be interesting to watch this play out, if its done in the public glare, which I doubt, but you never know.
What?
It’s the Bahamas. Very conflicting stories.
Obie Wilchcombe claims he is the one that told the Travoltas:

Here is a picture of Obie:

Doing a search on Obie’s name brings up some very curious things including this

What a circus!

Seriously....Extortion of this type of thing is reprehensible and the perps should be bull whipped

F...
DILLIGAF!
My guess is some plot to frame Travolta as the perp.
OR, possibly to NOT “frame” him as the perp...
seems picture extortion story was just a cover..
Don’t you know?
DILLIGAF is simply FAGILLID spelled backwards.
it's entertaining.
one thing we know the police and the Travoltas disagreed on was the time line.. police saying Jett wasn’t seen for 10 hours.. Travolta’s lawyers saying that was not true...
They threatened to disclose that he always puts his Right shoe on first.
“They threatened to disclose that he always puts his Right shoe on first. “
no wonder he didn’t pay the 20 mill....
I don’t have time to find the link but I read a story somewhere that the Travoltas didn’t want this story public and a newspaper (Tribune???) broke the story.
It is hard to guess what is taking place here. It could be a number of different things.
If it is false information that is threatened to be leaked all the Travoltas need to do is deny it and do what Scientologists love to do...SUE SUE SUE
If it is true information...they have a different problem.
The Bahamas are a pretty crooked place.
