If I was the police.. I'd be arresting both the criminals and the "victims". There is more to this story than meets the eye...

Originally Posted By MPierce As best I can piece together from everything I've read, Is TDLFAN is right. It has been posted that the local police from the victims hometown contacted Orlando, and told them that one of the victims was know to be a drug user. I believe The Orangr Co. Sheriff or who ever was in charge of the investigation had serious doubt about the validity of the victims statement. I would imagine the victims did not want to pursue this any further to avoid scrutiny by Orlando law enforcement. This is however only supposition on my part.

Or if the bishop of Orange county ok'd the wedding to be held at the pavilion. But he didn't think that would happen. You should have seen him roll his eyes when I told him the masses used to be held at the luau! Grass skirts and the body of Christ.
