I don’t understand why bill told the police about diehl in the first place. They’re all involved in this big murder that’s all over the news and then he goes and brings everyone’s attention to them when the cops had zero leads on the wells murder.
I dont understand:
1. Why Rothstein called in the frozen body
2. Why they used Wells and a real bomb
3. Why they made the scavenger hunt
4. Why the local PD didn't follow up on Diehl courting Burns as a hitman
I can only guess that
1. Three weeks is a long time to keep a frozen body and perhaps there were many fights between Diehl and Rothstein leading to Bill finally calling it in as some king of retribution against her.
2. Maybe there was a love triangle thing going on between Burns-Hopesick-Wells and using a real bomb was Burns's idea to torture Wells for his involvement with Hopesick. Or the bomb was legitimately outsourced and no one in the group actually knew it was real.
3. The scavenger hunt tells me that without a doubt one or more of the group wanted to completely torment Wells. It was pure terror
4. These people from the local pd to county/state prosecutors were incompetent and somehow dumber than the perps who maybe had just one somewhat intelligent person(Rothstein).
I believe the ones involved including Hopesick who allegedly came clean are still hiding a lot of the details. Rothstein and maybe Diehl probably knew Wells wouldn't finish the scavenger hunt so they couldn't have expected to even get the money- which completely changes the motive.
One other thing is that these people aside from maybe Rothstein were 100% cracked out of their fucking minds. There's a good chance the entire plan was crafted from a crackpipe which would explain why this story is so bizarre and difficult to comprehend.
