Do the Maloneys still assert Mr. Branscombe is their relative, and do
they, and NFIC, Mr. Dill, and Mr. Two Elk, still agree with him?

Why did you interview Mr. Two Elk, who had never been a primary
witness or player in the case before?
WHO filed this motion, as a lawyer normally has to file motions, and
this was against his lawyer?

That was intelligent. Very good questions. Another one is why are the
feds manufacturing evidence. They didn't have a smoking gun against
Arlo. Now they are claiming that the same gun that killed Martin
Montileaux killed Anna Mae Aquash. BUTT that gun was in the evidence
room during the murder of Anna Mae. Maybe the real murder weapon was
in the fbi weapons room?
oldwifetale
What are you even talking about? Where did someone say the gun was in
the evidence room? What is the question? According to the Carson piece
posted on here by NFIC, the gun that killed Montileaux was a .22 and
the gun that killed Anna Mae was a .32 - which was returned before her
murder.
"Marshall used a .22-caliber handgun to kill Montileaux but
investigators also took several other rifles and revolvers from him,
including an H&R .32-caliber revolver that was returned to Marshall
around June 1, 1975, the prosecutors wrote in their notice."

Hmmm is right. I just figured i must've missed something - my work is
piled up right now and alot going on (even now typing fast), so i
couldn't get much time on here. But when i looked over the posts, i
wasn't able to figure out what she was even going on (an on) about -
concerning the gun thing or the whereabouts of it.
