No doubt. If he was robbed, why was it “botched”?
As in, why wasn’t anything valuable taken?
And, why was he shot?
The only hypothetical that I’ve heard floated was that he resisted or refused. That would possibly answer why he was shot, but not necessarily answer why he wasn’t robbed. If your some street thug looking to rob someone, and your quarry is uncooperative to the point that you decide to pop them, then why not actually finish the robbery??? You’ve obviously decided you’re not going to abandon the act and just bail out of the situation so much so that you want him dead.
All that is old hat though.
My whole point is, this PI has no chance of solving this case. If the DC police and FBI aren’t solving it, it either means it’s not solvable, or they are obstructing. Either way, no PI is going to squeeze blood from this stone.
That’s my main point.
This guy either has two outcomes, the first is somewhat self serving, the second would be in the interest of others:
1) He ends up on Dateline or interviewed for some half hour program about his theories about what really happened to Seth
2) He helps put the story to bed by re-affirming the assessment that it was a botched robbery by all the available information
I just don’t see anything coming out of this.
There is over a millin dollars in reward money from various sources. Criminals are not rocket scientists. They talk to other thugs. If this was a robbery gone bad someone will step forward witn information so he or she can claim the money.
If none claim the reward, it was a hit job.
