@Cedars Yes, quite likely.Maybe family are aware it will be dissected by curious members of the public to try to figure out what caused his death, rather than to celebrate and honour his life?
IMO, with little or no statements from LE or the rest of his family, Richard sure seems to be controlling the narrative right now.Springfield MO radio station KWTO interview with John's brother Richard. Lots of details.

I'm listening now but haven't got to the 5 active phones part.This interview with Richard is a good listen imo.
Lots of nuggets through out interspersed with what has already been out there via Richard.
Of note to me :
He indicates there was a small update from LE today.
LE has been able to get into the phones and laptops.
He says there were five active carrier phones. I took that to mean all phones were hooked into a network and ready to use.
LE don’t suspect any family members were involved. ( I think they say that to the family whether they do or don’t suspect them initially imo but interesting he mentions it).
Richard says he is aware of what is being said online.
The interviewer did not really ask any probing questions about much
Richard seemed to think that what happened is tied into the kidnapping. Mentioned he fears his brother died protecting Richard and others.
He mentioned he is constantly being interviewed…is in the middle of the storm. They are shooting a 48 hrs episode and will do another with either dateline or 20/20.
He is very articulate, earnest as well as smooth. A good salesman.
This one has a lot of elements. I am not in the suicide camp. If the victim indeed had five active mobile phones I think that tells me it’s very possible he got on the wrong side of a “business” deal and was killed. Anybody’s guess who that business was with.
All imo
He mentions the phones closer to the end of the interview I think. Closer to the end when he starts talking about untangling the estate. All imo. I am going to listen again later so I will make note of where he mentions it.I'm listening now but haven't got to the 5 active phones part.
I've never known anyone with more than 2 active phones, and of those, one is business/company and one is personal.
From other cases I've read and folks it's happened to, some other people have 2 phones for less than decent reasons (drugs and/or cheating).
What could be a reasonable reason for someone to have 5 active phones?
it is the -6:45 mark (that is minus 6:45, the player counts down, not up).He mentions the phones closer to the end of the interview I think. Closer to the end when he starts talking about untangling the estate. All imo. I am going to listen again later so I will make note of where he mentions it.
The brother refers to this as the "story" as told by an acquaintance only after the doctor disappeared. Zero substantiation.The night after he was declared missing and his car was found, the brother learned from an acquaintance about his brother being kidnapped before. Feb. 2022. He was released zip tied, made to walk in very cold weather, freezing, snow to the home of this mutual acquaintance.

thank you @snubenergyit is the -6:45 mark (that is minus 6:45, the player counts down, not up).
Richard "They've got 5 phones... 5 active carrier phones."
Richard has said in the past that John always had 2 phones because of coverage reasons. That is, he needed 2 carriers to ensure coverage in the small towns he worked in. It is not clear if that means John had 2 work phones and 1 personal, or 2 phones total.
Either way, 5 was a surprise to Richard.
@Betty PMy impression from the interview is that the mutual acquaintance has also talked to LE. The acquaintance came forward during the investigation. LE will have investigated the story to determine if it's accurate. They're not going to say whether or not it's accurate at this point in time. JMO

@Betty P
When you say mutual acquaintance - do you mean the "mutual aquaintance" who told R about the kidnapping or the
" mutual aquaintance" R mentioned in the interview who was dealing with police and relaying info to R during the first 24 hrs of the victim missing bc R was in Springfield not Cassville?
Or are you assuming that both "mutual acquaintances" are one in the same?
My assumption was that the "mutual acquaintance" he was referring to in the interview, who was dealing with LE in the initial 24 hrs, was the fiance. R never said it was her - but he used "she" so I made that leap - but certainly not definitive.
If you think they are one in the same I suppose that is also a possibility ?
Just IMO

Yes thanks - I am just not sure how you got the impression from the interview that the mutual acquantance has spoken to LE ?I was referring to the mutual acquaintance who came to R and told him about the first kidnapping after learning about the doctor's last disappearance. R said that the mutual acquaintance (MA) told him that the Dr. had shown up at his/her house after that first kidnapping, with his hands zip tied, etc.
I notice that when R talks about that first kidnapping, he chooses some of his words carefully when describing it. JMO, I wonder if there are some details of that event/story that LE doesn't want him to share. Most likely they're not revealing all the details to make sure they get the right person.

It would obviously make sense that LE would have spoken to that person, but I don't get the connection with the interview - so I must be missing something. just imo
About "mutual acquaintances", Richard has said that the individual that told him about the alleged kidnapping was a physician. I'm confident they've spoken to LE, if only because Richard has recounted this so widely. I agree with waldojabba about the MA that was so involved when Dr. F first went missing; it sounds like that's the fiancee.I was referring to the mutual acquaintance who came to R and told him about the first kidnapping after learning about the doctor's last disappearance.
