IMO, if Brooke had info about MJ and AR, or was approached sexually and refused, they would not have waited almost a month to get rid of her. There would have been too much opportunity for Brooke to tell someine. If anything, I think MJ made up a reason that Brooke was a problem to convince AR to go along.
My dearest SuziQ,:blowkiss:
There have been many criminals that have waited longer than a month to murder someone that they think would have info.
Let me give you just one example of the inmates that I had to be locked in a unit with in my job that are in that description.
James Rivers was hired by Gregory Reed to commit arson in a building block where he owned a business in 1984. St. Johnsbury is where the building was. The owner wanted to collect insurance money, he knew his building would burn down since it was next to the building that the fire was started in.
James asked his good friend Rene Savage to help him with the arson. Rene did. (James was 21 and Rene was 20)
It was thought that Rene might go to the police with what he had done, he knew too much. So after
months of planning to silence Rene, the act was finally put in motion.
They had to plan to ensure that everything was in order so that nothing would point back to them.
The plan was carried out when James and Gregory asked Rene to lunch. They took Rene to McDonalds for lunch. They then took him to a sandpit in Waterford and murdered him.
Rene was buried in a shallow grave.
Reed sought the help of his wife's uncle Don Persons who was a funeral director. Reed feared that the body would be discovered.
Reed asked Person's how to make a body rot rapidly. He asked Don that because he assumned that a funeral director would know that stuff. Person's went to the police. He led police to the body and he was the main witness in the trial.
Reed sued Persons in 1989 for slander.
Gregory was given a sentence of 19 years to life.
James has been out of for at least 10 years.
Rene Savage was the brother of Jamie Savage.
Jamie Savage and Louis Hamlin (teens) raped and murdered Melissa Walbridge here in Vermont in 1981. Melissa was 12-years-old. Her friend Meghan O'Rourke was raped and left for dead. She was also 12-years-old. This happened right down the street from where I was living with my aunt.
Jamie Savage served a few years in a prison in Texas. He changed his name. Texas alerted us of his name change.
Gregory Reed was a State Representative here in Vermont.
