In “following the money” in this case, it wouldn’t surprise me if LM provided a handsome “golden parachute” when JR was asked to step down from his position at AG. The R’s vacationed in the Bahamas the year after the homicide, and it’s been conjectured that funds were placed in off-shore accounts. Maybe just in case they decided to move overseas. moo
But as to the S’ and their joining the Rs in Atlanta: When the S’ moved to Atlanta, they purchased 2 homes, one for about $880,000 and one for a little less than $600,000. (This info from an FFJ poster in 2003.) GS went to work in JRs new company Jaleo. GS was previously in a finance controller position at the University in Boulder. His pay was about $100,000-$120,000. Also, while SS had a job, it was a contract position and the contract period had expired. So she was without a job. Perhaps when JR made a move to Atlanta, he provided a nice fiscal incentive to GS, something too attractive to pass up. Were loans provided for purchasing those properties? Just some thoughts.
One of the “scents” of something with DS appeared in the film JonBenet’s America and comes from his mother SS. She states that the Rs brought a Christmas gift to the house. She said she and GS waved goodbye, and the Rs were just one happy family. What struck me was that DS was BR’s best friend, and she doesn’t mention DS standing at the door with them waving goodbye. The Rs were driving PR’s Jag, small back seat, but enough room for DS to squeeze in next to BR and JB.
All JMHO
