Supposedly, he’s up and able To talk in the hospital. Videos and photos from the scene show a Mercedes SUV with a flat tire but no tire jack, tools, or blood. Some of the FB group members are wondering if this was an attempt at suicide. There’s no mention of a car being driven away (although the area is very remote, so…) or warning to nearby residents to lock doors or anything. No mention of a suspect. Bizarre!

Can you link? Where are the photos of the car?

Here are pictures of the car if you really want to see them -



And a guy did a drone video of the crime scene - skip to 0:37

On the contrary the two of them gone made a lot of his financial problems go away -

Without the wife the forensic accountant could no longer look into his law firm statements to discover the embezzlement

Also his insurance refused to cover his son in the wrongful death suit brought by the boat victim’s family. Hard to sue the father if the kid is dead.

I have a hard time seeing this. Why would the investigation into financial improprieties stop because the wife is dead? If his embezzlement is from the firm, the wife's discovery of the problems is meaningless, the other partners will discover it soon enough. And if Alex's own insurance wouldn't cover his adult son's liability -- which seems reasonable, as the son was an adult -- why would Alex have to cover it? Son declares bankruptcy, dad says tough break, and dad doesn't lose any money other than what he chooses to pay for his kid's lawyers. I'm just still completely stumped at Alex's motive for the double murder.

I don't think it was 'hitmen' hired by the father. I think it was individuals either upset about the a) son getting away with murder and the mother interfered or b) looking for the father because he owed them millions (which is why he stole from his law firm in the first place).

I don’t think the murders you’ve described are common or likely but the idea that the dad got in over his head and murdered his wife and son is super likely and relatively common.

No one thinks those types of murders are common. But neither is a lawyer stealing millions from their firm and getting away with it until a manslaughter charge is brought up against his family and in defending him the other partners realize the coffers are empty.

Aside from that what did he use the millions for. He certainly didn't spend it it on real estate where he lives. You can get a shack plus acreage for $48,000 near his home.

But funneling millions into a drug operation - not uncommon. And the drug operators wanting their cash if you've lost it - again not uncommon.

+1 to alllllll of this.

In one of the stories linked it said the police recovered something like 7 shell casings at the scene of the father's shooting. That's a hit job. Tire likely punctured by someone who knew where he was going to be, etc.

Yeah, this is definitely not a case of FA. That amount of wasted bullets for a assault rifle and shotgun says a drug connection or murder attempt. Whether it was the narcos or a local neighbor who wanted revenge for the dead girl remains to be seen.

Disagree. Narcos could definitely manage to kill one chubby unarmed lawyer successfully. And what are the odds that a man’s family targeted like this snd he just happens to be living a double life full of criminal behavior?

The same odds of the son being charged with manslaughter and it being discovered that the father had stolen well over $1 million from his own law firm.

PP, I think you hit the nail on the head. The son's troubles were going to cause the discovery of embezzlement from the law firm. That is what the motivation likely was. In fact, I read that the family did not want to turn over financial records in the son's case. If they had agreed, the law firm embezzlement would have likely been discovered then.

but taking out the wife and son do not make his problems go away. it just amplifies the attention to him and their problems.

there were 7 casings at the roadside shooting, where Alex was shot? or where the mother/son were shot?
