I saw your post about "who the LE leaker is?"
I am still wondering how this leaker knew some of the "inside information", that the VD's had not yet revealed to LE.
IMO, the leaker was somehow "close" to this close knit group of friends, tho not necessarily "part" of the group.
This brings me to BRENT BALLARD of the Chula Vista Police department. The last name of BALLARD shows up on "former name" on BARBARA EASTON'S real estate license info. posted here before by Fres.
Could Officer Ballard be BARBARA (BALLARD) EASTON'S BROTHER, COUSIN, ETC? Maybe Officer Ballard is the leaker or maybe he confided what he had heard from Barb to a fellow LEO.
If she was going to be questioned, don't ya think she would have called someone she knew in LE, in order to "know how to act"
