Events leading up to arrest of ZA. Connecting some dots... with the pearls, etc. Seems this has a lot more to do with other crimes than it does HB.
So he assaulted the sister (Amber) of his (ZA's) GF?
At least two of (at least 3, it seems) Bray siblings had seem degree of connection to the pearl thing - Christopher and Amber (well, I guess we only know they were using her van) - but it seems highly improbable (to me) that ZA's GF ____ Bray would surely have SOME knowledge, given the involvement of her BF and brother.
I mean...that's a lot of pearls to be trying to steal and stash and hide and then presumably try to pass off somewhere...
And PEARLS of all things? In TN?
And a heck of a lot to try to parcel out and presumably sell elsewhere without attracting attention. Of course it seems they didn't think this through and didn't realize that could be a hard "sell" so to speak in TN.
I'd love to know how LE ended up figuring they were involved in the pearl theft.
And to have managed to pull them over with pearls in the van still.
Either those LE are...bad at searches...or these guys had this well thought out for them to have managed to have satisfied LE, apparently, in handing over SOME of the pearls but not all when they were stopped the first time.
And then to basically dole out more at the door when LE arrives at the house while others are trying to flush even more?! Either these guys are really not the sharpest crayons in the box, really smooth talkers, or figure they're going to keep manage getting away with things as they apparently have been prior!
Unbelievable!
The funny thing is, when I read the pearl thing I thought about the Middle East where several countries have such a strong legacy of playing a significant role in the pearling industry.
If this were all taking place somewhere other than TN, and there was someone with some
wasta (influence) or something, seeing a guy w/ ZA's history and then this whole pearl thing would make some more sense - and even could provide a channel by which she might still be alive (trafficked to a wealthy or royal family)
This pearl thing sure seems out of the blue, but given all those previous charges beyond what (at least I saw posted) anyone imagined, as well, I'm starting to think there may be some more really crazy stuff to come w/ this crew.
Hopefully somehow this all leads to Holly/
