Theories

TT, we've tried to list suspects and narrow things down but it's kind of hard since we really don't have all of the information and nobody's  interview (except Marty and Bo's) - so we only have snippets of statements or reports written up. This is from FRB April 11, 2001:

Even though Josh was allowed into the Keddie Room to look at files he himself admitted he did not have time to go through everything.

To answer your question of if Marilyn was at Glenna Meeks house after Marty returned from Reno - to say for a fact we'd have to look at their interview. But yes you're not misunderstanding and Marilyn should have been at Glenna's house (unless she had gone of with Wade somewhere). I've never read a report from 1981 of Glenna telling the police what she told on the documentary and I'm going by Justin's hypnosis in saying the went to Glenna's house Sunday evening. I know we rely on alot of what they said on the documentary but what they told in 1981 is far more accurate than what they told 20 plus year later. The people who talked bad about Marty were the ones who believed what Marilyn was telling them. Marty wasn't kicked out of Keddie he left to go pull scams with Bo in Oregon (and told the police where he would be).

I must admit I have no idea who committed these murders. I have had plenty to speculate about but am now more confused than ever. I'd like to break it down:

Sheila Sharp had a baby at 14, allegedly fathered by family friend, Richard Meeks.

Tina Sharp had been molested about 8 months before the murders (or at least this is the only documented molesting)

Johnny Sharp was stealing, running away from home, and becoming too much for Sue to handle.

Sheila was often left in charge of the children (don't know who was while she was gone) because Sue was doing whatever with whoever, smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee, and sitting on the couch a lot.

The younger children were often out asking for food from neighbors.

The Meeks family was close to the Sharp family with Johnny staying a lot at the Meeks home and the younger Meeks boys going to his house (would this really have continued if there was a lot of friction going on between these two families).

Marilyn Smartt was allegedly confiding in Sue about her marriage although we have no documentation of that. What we do have is Judith Lynt on the record saying that Marilyn sought refuge at her home which we now know was cabin 16 and it was located in the Sharps back yard. This is the same cabin Frank Davis said Dana used to visit a lot. He said someone else lived there now (Mike Plyer and Barb)

Glenna Meeks met Marilyn (according to her post) while Marty was in the Reno VA hospital (regardless of where he was this was around the week of March 13 according to Dee Lake) and she met Marty and Bo when Marty returned home with Bo (around 3 weeks before the murders)

Miss XXXX comes forward with information that Marty and Sue were seeing each other. She saw his jealousy of Sue at school and at the Pioneer Bar (although we've never heard that from any other source)

Sheila sent Tina home to die even though Tina had been living under the same roof and same conditions as Sheila.

Sheila had no idea that Dana was spending the night with Johnny in 28 although she (according to Justin) raked leaves with them earlier that day and was also in and around the cabin until Johnny and Dana left in the afternoon. According to reports Alyssa had been seeing Dana for a week and could only see him at 28. We've also heard Sheila had been fond of Dana so I think it's a stretch to say that neither of the girls communicated with Johnny or Dana or asked what their plans were for that night.

Sheila conspired for weeks with the Meeks and a man/men (in need of money) that neither she nor the Meeks barely even knew (if Sheila even knew him at all) to kill her mom on a weekend night, with a resort full of people and a house full of children, and what was his/their payment to be??  Are we to believe that Marty and Bo did this because Sue was causing Marty problems or because Sue didn't want to go out with Bo? Then how and where are we to figure in Sheila? Then Doug Thomas (who was also in on the plan) covered for Marty and Bo, and called in Crim and Bradley (who also risked their careers to be part of the plan), because of Doug/Marty/Bo's (sorry but I'm lost on that one so we'll throw all 3 in) "drug connections" yet Marty and Bo were out pulling scams and working for the carnival later on and not out selling drugs?

I'm once again confused on who exactly wanted Sue dead. Sheila, the Meeks, Marty, Bo, Marilyn, Wade, Blaine, Dee, Tony, Doug T, Stoy, Wright, Shanks, Brubaker, the ME, Ronald P, and the list goes on? Can't be

And these murderers were protected and covered up for because why? It absolutely makes no sense.

This was a "preplanned" murder but the murderer(s) didn't even come prepared to kill?

Which brings me back to have we really seen any " full page reports" or something other than handwritten scribble or second hand info? Hey this is what Josh did on the documentary - snippets - couldn't/wouldn't show the whole picture. Why not? I find that to be very odd - basically just revealing what he wanted people to see/conclude.
