Today's Blind Items - The Fix Was In

Last week I wrote about a candidate who felt like they needed to kill to keep their secrets. Actually, not even to keep secrets so much as to keep secrets of others. It turns out that close to that same period in time there was another killing, a double homicide actually, that was set up and paid for by another candidate. The double murder was lost in a wave of murders in this city that has seen many thousands of murders since these double homicides. How easy it was to just not investigate that one too thoroughly and before you know it there were hundreds of others much more newsworthy to push those two of the front page.

A mother of one of the victims has tried to speak out. Each time she does, reporters are sent tips en masse from unknown accounts that she is crazy and shouldn't be believed. They mention her 5150 hold like it was from the day before rather than decades ago.

Back in the day when this candidate was an unknown he would run around town with this very connected politician/celebrity who moved in very high circles. How high? He and that A+ lister who always seems to turn up in these blinds have been best buddies forever. Anyway, our candidate and his friend would cruise gay nightclubs almost every happy hour. It was a cheap way to eat and drink and they could meet lots of willing men. Each of them found someone who they liked more than the others. A few years later, it would be those two men who were found dead.

It was more the celebrity/politician who found the person to commit the murder than our candidate. He didn't spare any expense and hired the best. The problem was the double murder was perfect. Execution style hit. No robbery, and no motive. Neither had connections to drugs or gangs and the killings were just too slick. The thing is though, if you hire someone less experienced, they start talking and get busted and then start talking about people who hired them. Better to have some questions about motive down the road than someone in custody singing like a canary.

There is another celebrity involved in all of this. An A- list dual threat actor who can currently be seen on a fairly hit network show. When he had an opportunity to get close to the candidate after the murders, he started hearing whispers. His mistake was going to the candidate and asking him about it. Well, the candidate was already a winner and wanted to be a winner again, so the next thing you know he pushes the actor out of his life for good.

To make all of this look more like a conspiracy theory, a person is hired who is obviously a little off and who is always willing to do anything for money. They discredit the guy who doesn't care since he has been paid and everyone just goes on to the next thing and forgets all the evidence staring directly them in the face.
