On Ray, I will say one fact that may or may not alter some people’s opinion, and it is not to say that I am taking any definitive stance on the subject, however...
Once a while back when I was deep in my research mode I uncovered a short video clip of him at a dinner with someone where he was acting sort of gossipy about MG and I found it to be disturbing. It reminded me of the neighborhood old ladies who have nothing better to do than talk smack about local residents, it was that type of matter-of-fact tone in his voice and it seemed almost mocking. I don’t believe he knew he was being recorded or he wouldn’t have been so forthcoming with her personal stuff in the tone and manner with which he said it. I doubt that what I viewed is still available for public consumption online but it may very well be. I am not here to character assassinate anyone nor to take sides. I am on one side, and that is to get to the core of any and all truths.
Just a few things to consider...
Thinking of all people who have really had a hand in the thwarting of this investigation, and their power (however far in the past or however still a formidable force in the present) has anyone stopped to wonder why no harm has ever come to him though he outwardly presents as one of the strongest proponents for justice in this case? With the exception of not being granted access to the tapes for a very long period of time, he has not publicly made known any sort of say like threats to his person or other harassment. I am by no means advocating that he should experience anything nefarious, but what I mean to say is, if he legitimately does or did have honest intentions to see this case to its proper conclusion why do you think it is that he has been able to say, for example ‘nose around’ for clues and witness statements and evidence and also publicize certain case details on documentaries radio and podcasts and yet has not himself been threatened or harmed by the powers that be who want this swept under the rug, almost sort of untouchably? Critical thinking required here.
