I can see a scenario where the cops arrive....ask 3 or 4 questions...then leave, and George dies ten minutes later in the SUV with his two ‘friends’.
About 3 months after the death...some interview came up with a retired cop from the town. He said that the nightclub that both George and the cop (now in prison) worked for...had a on-going crisis thing with constant drug connections...maybe going back a full decade. Some Lebanese gang situation.
The suggestion was that no one wanted George’s connection and the drug stuff to lead back to nightclub.
