re: Fl. murdered couple who adopted numerous limited children

[ensho]

I don't believe one word the cops, city, county, state, FBI, DEA people have to say.

none of it makes sense. none of it is logical.

this is Florida where nothing is like it seems. and where most goings on are criminal.

how do you all feel about it?

1. Something is very very not right.

It sounds like a drug hit from what the cops are saying. And that doesn't make sense.

2. What is it that they are saying that you disagree with?

[sharesunited]

3. Does the truth emerge at trial, or is everything pled out and swept under?

4. i can't get a beat on this story -- i guess that supports your point. it makes no sense.

5. Fuller portrait of slain Fla. couple emerges

<SNIP>
A week after the fatal burglary in which eight people were arrested — including a teenager, an Air Force Sergeant and an antique mall owner — there remain almost as many questions as answers.

Why would well-practiced thieves target a home with a security camera in every room? Who was Byrd Billings? And what does Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan mean when he says investigators expect motives to emerge beyond simple robbery?

Interviews and court records portray Byrd Billings as a former strip club owner-turned used car dealer who was once sentenced to probation for an adoption scam. He frequently crossed paths with "shady characters," according to an ex-wife, but police have offered no evidence linking his past to the killings.

One key question was addressed Friday when family attorney Crystal Spencer disclosed the contents of the safe — documents, childrens' prescriptions and jewelry with "sentimental value."

"Hopefully this will put to rest the intense speculation and rumors that are swirling around the Billings family," she said.

Morgan, who has called the case a "humdinger," confirmed the contents of the safe found buried in a suspect's backyard with bricks piled on top. He said the documents inside included adoption papers and birth certificates but would not say if the killers expected to find other items.

Morgan said his department is still in the midst of a complex investigation that he likened to a chess match.

6. thanks for info - adoption seems to be popping up

I was wondering where all these limited children came from? mothers give them away? State takes them away from mothers? ????

[tuckessee]

8. Odd that they compare the investigation to a "chess match".

Not to a "jigsaw puzzle" or something like that.

In chess there is an active opponent countering every move. Who is the opponent here?

7. where did all those limited babies come from?

I asked this question in the body of a reply, so to hopefully get some answers I'm posting it in the subject line.

are the babies from mothers who give them away? or has the State taken them away from mothers for one reason or the other? or ???

14. 'organized crime' in Florida -

I would be more surprised if Jeb Bush wasn't somehow linked to it.

11. It certainly appears as if there is something significant missing from the story so far.

I just hope that it doesn't involve anything immoral on the parents part. I really want to believe that there are good people out there. But I am more committed to the truth and justice if it has to go that way.

12. What also makes no sense is that the sheriff(?) in charge has come on tv and said there will be

surprising elements to the case. This is so odd.
