We are not in disagreement, fear of exposure and protection of capital, rather than recoupment do not preclude, and if fact militate in favor of paranoia. Whether or not that fear is justified is not important to us as it would be to a movie director. Finding out who the "real money man" is is difficult with out bank records, the name will not readily appear from the normal corporate documents. It is possible to trace unusual expenditures from the filed documents, but I am not sure there will be enough filed documents to discern a pattern. Duke

Exactly! My B movie training tells me the same thing. One or both knew too much for their own good. The authorities caught one or the other "red" handed in an unrelated scheme. In order to avoid major time one or the other perhaps both, rolled over and decided to cooperate on another investigation. They sensed their danger so one sent his wife and kid away, the other decided to stay away from his home so that his wife and kids would not be in as much danger. The murder is intended to be a warning to others to keep their mouth shut. One of the news stories suggests they may have been wounded and questioned before they were killed. The killers may have wanted to know what information was provided to the authorities.

I'm guessing the deal was quite recent and the killers didn't want to take any chances. I agree. As I said last night, I think this was done for a very specific reason, and that it had to be done when it was done, not earlier or later. I agree with Carolyn that the killer or killers were very angry, but they also took their time. It appears that the initial shots weren't fatal, and weren't meant to be; the shots peppering the walls may have been meant as intimidation. Did the perps want to know what the victims had said to whom before they finished the job? So, like Jeff, I think someone feared discovery so much that he was willing to take an awful chance. We should, perhaps, try to find out what the victims were planning to do in the next few days. It's said that Chalem was going to buy a very large block of CDDD stock on the Tuesday. He was also planning to travel to Tennessee and then go on to Florida. Should the focus be on Chalem? Was Lehmann only a coincidental victim? What were his own plans? How long did he expect to spend at the house on Bluebell Lane? Going home the next day, or on to Tennessee with Chalem?
