Wow! I missed this. So this guy, just months after the massacre of his family, is drunkenly hitting on a young woman. I know that people grieve in different ways, but this is just bizarre. And to think, he’s living in the very house where his family died. I initially thought that he was involved, until this Matthew Locke character appeared. I still believe that Locke did it, but I do wonder if it was a murder-for-hire. Maybe Locke wasn’t paid, and that’s why he ran his mouth and got himself into trouble. I could understand being belligerently drunk and getting into it with someone, but the fact that he was trying to pick up this lady, rubs me the wrong way. JMO.

I see the burning of the bodies as simply an effort to conceal evidence. That sort of thing happens every day, as arson definitely complicates all types of investigations. The perpetrator likely tried to burn the whole house down, and failed.
I was just coming in to post this one. I can err on the side of compassion with MB but I have still have a feeling he was mixed up with the wrong crowd, a crowd with Locke. I don’t know. It was good to see something pop up about this case, but this did not put MB in a good light whatsoever. And if he is truly grieving - that’s just awful. JMO
I agree completely with everything you said. The whole thing raises questions, maybe it’s nothing but then again, maybe not.
I agree but different folks, different strokes. I know I wouldn’t be living there! A friend of mine lost her fiancee to suicide and had to move. But men are different than women too. Things sometimes affect them differently. As far as Websleuths goes, he is still considered a victim, not a suspect. So sad that there isn’t any more info. I was just checking tonight.
From what I read, those DNA swabs were related to both murder cases. I wouldn’t be surprised if we hear about charges in that first murder case (man beaten to death in his girlfriend’s couch) before this one. As we all know, the justice system is slow, and the DA’s office has no reason to rush, with Locke on ice for the time being.
Wow. Great catch. I read the story but didn’t make the connection.
Is he a public defender or Lockes personal lawyer?
I looked it up and he was appointed by the court, so public defender. The Moses thing is very strange, and I don’t know what to make of it.
I wonder if he is collecting some type of funds to support himself. Some states have leave programs thats like unemployment benefits for those who lost loved ones. I know California has it. Its a bereavement leave or something that covers 6 months for the birth of your child or the death of your children or spouse. Idk.
