Highland Park Mass Shooting Mystery - Part 2
My investigation leads me closer to the shadowy figures surrounding Bobby Crimo in the year before the shooting, and a crime scene recreation reveals some unsettling anomalies.
Before you begin, make sure to read Part 1!
Sometime after the fiasco with Jamie in mid-2023, I had to push Highland Park to the side to work on something even more urgent and daunting – My research into the Satanic child exploitation and extortion network 764. I still talked to Bobby’s dad, Bob Sr., on the phone occasionally, mainly to get updates on the pending court cases. In November of 2023, Bob pleaded guilty to seven misdemeanor counts of reckless conduct, one for each person killed in the Highland Park mass shooting on July 4, 2022. He served 27 days in the Lake County Jail before being released for good behavior in December (Watch a detailed video about why Bob’s court case was a completely unconstitutional political stunt here.)
By September of 2022, I had already seen enough from Jamie to realize she was lying about various aspects of her relationship with Bobby, and I knew not to trust her. That said, she really was in contact with Bobby at the jail, and keeping on good terms with her meant that I could keep getting updates on the case to benefit my own investigation. So, I let her talk. In October of 2022, Jamie mentioned journalist and podcaster Trevor Aaronson for the first time. She excitedly told me that she’d found his work and thought he might be able to help. Even more impressive, she had already contacted him, and he’d agreed to have a phone call with her the following Tuesday.
Trevor is most well-known for his book titled, The Terror Factory: Inside the FBI’s Manufactured War on Terrorism which he turned into a TED Talk and then into a semi-successful podcast called Alphabet Boys. I thought Trevor, who’d had some unique perspectives on mass shootings in the past, might actually be a good resource on this topic, but I was suspicious of Jamie’s motivations for contacting him, and I was even more concerned that she would twist the narrative and poison the well. So, I decided to contact Trevor on my own via Twitter DM. I didn’t mention Jamie, I simply asked for his input and alluded to a potential collaboration. I figured if Trevor were willing to talk to Jamie, certainly he would be willing to talk to somebody with a more public presence. But Trevor didn’t respond.
