Can't figure out how to link the post but The Buffalo News is now reporting 4.4lbs of coke was found in their hotel room. I guess that explains how and why they would travel all the time.

I knew this was about cocaine. Their Facebook posts are typical of that life.

You’d think with a murder involved that the cocaine would be long gone and sold by now? As in, the drugs/money would be motive?
This keeps getting more complicated!

That was probably not all the cocaine they brought up there to move. I'm sure this was a botched deal

The empty cooler was probably 1/2 the coke to sell.

Rinaldo pointed out that the surveillance video was shot with no light, but used infrared technology to produce artificial light.

"Therefore, it can distort colors of skin or clothing colors. So I'm asking people not to draw any assumptions as to ethnicity or exactly what the people were wearing," he said.

A lot of people on social media were upset that the baby is in foster care and wasn't immediately released to the custody of his grandparents. Considering the cocaine <modsnip: removed info from social media>, I am glad that CPS/LE are taking measures to ensure the baby would be safe with the grandparents before letting them to take him back to FL.

There is a reason LE didn't turn the child over to his grandparents immediately. That's unusual.

Strange they even had the boy with them IF selling drugs but he could have been used as a decoy.

Is there a reason they were staying near the airport? Were they going to return the rental and fly back to Orlando?

Maybe it’s just that “business” is good over there? Here concentrated at the MSP airport we have dozens of hotels that are rife with drugs and huge issues with sex trafficking and prostitution..

It is despicable that someone left this child on a porch in a d*mn box but thank God he was left on the "right" porch. MOO

From the article:

While they wait, they're thankful the little boy ended up with kind women who gave him clothes, toys, and hugs. The family says they're going to be allowed see the little boy Wednesday morning for two hours. It'll be the first time seeing him since they got here from Florida. They also told us the next court date for the custody case is October 9.

Yes, it is unusual IMO to even have left the child alive if this was purely about drugs? JMO

Once the coke was sold, they'd turn the rent car in and fly back to FL with the cash. No sense in driving that far once the drugs are gone. Just my speculation

 

[Shin Masamura]

Im quite sure at this point since he’s from NY and only two bodies were found that he’s the main POI and they’re hoping to hear from the public who his friend is to connect it all together..

Reading the FB of DM brother is interesting since it is mirroring what you all are saying here..

Is it possible that they flew to Puerto Rico instead of back to Florida? Since that’s where they’re all from? Maybe drug deal went south quickly and they’re on the run and the baby didn’t have a passport? Just a random thought that lends nothing to my actual theory lol

I think that's it- it's not the most obvious place to book a hotel otherwise, except it might be much cheaper than downtown.

You don't need a passport to fly to PR but the general idea good be true

I don't know but I doubt he could identify them. Maybe they have children...? MOO

Yes, mine too based on what we know so far. Subject to change as information develops, of course.

They couldn't fly to Buffalo with the cocaine but you'd think they would want to fly back. That's a long drive. MOO
