In other words, Jon took the money so that no one could take the money. I responded by pointing out that a bank teller could say the same thing, although I doubt he could convince anyone of his honest intentions. So far I haven't heard a response to this observation. I promptly inquired if the money, nearly a million dollars, had been kept in a ceramic piggy-bank. I haven't heard back on that one either.
People commit murder for less.
And, again if Castle's information is correct, Jon's and Robin's dogs disappeared shortly after their owners. My dog observation was then greeted with a story about how dogs in the O'Hair neighborhood were being stolen right about that time. My credulity was being sorely tested. Well, gee and golly. I guess that really sews this one up.
