When someone's murdered, family/close contacts are always questioned, so interviewing the wife was not a surprise. The surprise was the response from Dana Bash's guest today, who said that sometimes the victim orchestrates his own demise. I could see that happening in some cases, but the killer was waiting for over an hour for the victim. I thought the response was idiotic given the circumstances.
This case is undeniably fascinating. Personally, I don’t believe the wife was involved. The killer’s detailed knowledge of the CEO’s travel plans and movements strongly suggests insider information. It almost feels like the perpetrator could be a disgruntled employee with access to the CEO’s schedule—perhaps an executive assistant, someone close to an assistant, or someone in a role that provided access to confidential travel details.
Consider this: knowing the CEO was staying at a hotel across the street from the conference venue, and that he’d be crossing the street at 6:45 a.m. for an event starting at 8:30 a.m., demonstrates a remarkable level of precision. Few people would have been privy to such specifics. Furthermore, reports indicate that the assassin arrived at the hotel only five minutes before the CEO, a timing so exact it suggests the killer had real-time updates.
Surveillance footage shows the assassin on the phone shortly before the CEO left the hotel. This raises the question: was someone feeding him live information? Executives often travel with colleagues or assistants, and if senior staff or assistants were staying at the same hotel, particularly in adjacent rooms, they could have overheard the CEO preparing or even seen him leaving. This would have allowed them to tip off the assassin with precise updates.
In short, while anything is possible, I suspect the perpetrator is someone within the CEO’s inner circle—someone with intimate knowledge of his movements.
I am retired now but whenever I attended conferences everyone attending got the agenda with speakers and their allotted times of speaking well before the event, like weeks. I doubt the insider knowledge was required you talk about. The killer was waiting for him some time I read but who knows the facts yet.
Yes, conference agendas are one thing. But to know where a specific person is staying and that they will be entering through the side entrance of the host hotel at 6:45am, nearly two hours before the conference begins is not ‘common knowledge’ as you would suggest, Sherlock.
The media is all over the place too on the disappearance of the young lady traveling from Hawaii I believe through LAX and eventually days later supposedly “voluntarily” entering Mexico. Her dad committed suicide they say with multiple blunt force trauma (no gun) and the media is now talking about a fake marriage scam. The media is so incompetent these days at getting to the bottom of things faster. Good investigative reporters using off the record sources are no more I suppose. John Walsh’s show and those 60 Minutes guys of yesteryears are missed. Now it is all PR bullshit.
