A Wonderful Find ...

[J. Beckert]

That was a great article Bill and whether it angers anyone or not is beside the point. You and Rick did a great job of explaining that no one can prove what happened either way while being sensitive and respectful to other's theories, but that suicide was a distinct possiblity.

I tried to find a link to the Suite101 site, but I can't find it.

I don't buy the suicide by cop theory for a minute. If that were the case, I think Booth would have actually have had to have seen a "cop". In a barn packed with furniture and farm equipment, I don't think he was planning on anyone taking him out. He blatantly refused to come out and he knew what was waiting for him if he did. The rope - and just what he wrote he wanted to avoid - dying like a criminal.
