essentially it boiled down to Bubby being pretty shady in his business dealings and was RUMORED to have been involved in drug trafficking at some point in his life.


Is this based stuff he MAY HAVE DONE 40+ yrs ago?

It's absolutely based on his connection to Barry Seal along with other individuals involved in the cocaine trade in the 80's.

I highly doubt it was a factor in their deaths but still an interesting tidbit nonetheless.

Stop it, goofball. I'm not anonymous. Hit me up on the backchannels and we can talk about this if it'll help with closure and understanding.

This is very interesting angle to all of this....IF there is any truth at all to this angle it totally repaints the whole ordeal.

"Something"? Like what? An eight ball or 10 or 20 kilos? Hypothetically...

I agree with the poster earlier - until the Barry Seal/drug trade rumor is mentioned publicly by police, I say leave it out of this thread unless you post "NOT CONFIRMED" at the beginning of your post.

No need to spread character-killing rumors if you have nothing of substance to base it off of.

It only "repaints the entire ordeal" if they were killed in a drug ripoff or some type of drug transaction gone wrong. All indications are that a dimbulbed handy man killed them for ten or twenty grand in a safe. I hardly think that a guy hanging out with Barry Seal 30 years ago has any bearing on his murder this week.

Am I? The Colombians shot Barry Seal full of holes in 1986. Why would it take them until 2015 to track down this guy?

Think the implications are that something was found at house or on property, not his 30 yr old relationships.
Still nothing confirmed and who knows, if detectives found something like drugs on their property, it's quite possible they had nothing to do with it.

Exactly...if they were in anyway involved in that kind of world....big or small their could be a multitude of reasons they were targeted and none doing with Barry seal.

That's my point. So what, if a small amount of recreational drugs were found? Did it have any bearing on the murders? If not, so what. No big deal.

If the guy had kilos of coke and hundreds of thousands (or probably millions, if he's been dealing for 35 years or so) in his safe, then maybe (possibly? Probably?) there's more to this story. If not, it still sounds like a dimbulbed handy man took advantage of their good nature.

It would be nice to keep $200,000 in a safe at home. Not ever going to the bank again for cash would be golden.
