At the core of the "Dee's .22 Rifle" story is the mound of typical bullshit, found at the core of so many tenets of the Loonibi: Misdirection by lies.
Bo: "My scams have nothing to do with the scams in the April 1 newspaper. Sure, I do advertising for similar non-existent publications, but Marty and I are old pals so we're branching out by doing a business tourism map. See, I've known Marty for a long time because Loon's my neice and he's her hubby. I've been here since March 1, not March 30. But, still, I have no idea who Sue is, wouldn't be able to point out her house even though I just did fifteen seconds back." Get all that bullshit?
Do Marty or Bo EVER say they met at the VA? Nope, at least not in their shit Crimely interviews. Yet so many others entangled in the Loonibi do: Dee Lake, Loon, Mama Meeks... whoever says Bo is Marty's new pal is in this deeeeep.
Mike and Martel: "Tony Garedakis has nothing to do with the murders. See, we saw that dead-ringer for Tony/Avery Schreiber, but it's NOT TONY. Tony's only 22, and the guy we think killed Sue was fatter, older, and drove a different vehicle. Our guy is probably your man, but don't look at Tony- I don't even know this Tony guy".
It's the same thing with Dee's rifle. "Yes, I have a rifle, but it's a .22 Take a look, the sights are intact. Oh, yes, Marty had access to my rifle. See, he needed to borrow my car because the battery in his was flat. So, I let him borrow my car for days so me and my family can hitch-hike everywhere. That way, Marty could take the battery out of my car and operate his. And, OH, YEAH! I happened to be hitching by Keddie both the day before and the day of the murders. On Sat, my son and I picked up the rifle, then spent the whole day hitching and walking around Quincy before stopping back at my pal, Mike's house in Keddie. Ask anyone you like, nobody noticed me walking all over town with a rifle."
Why do Marty, Bo, Loon, and Dee all have disastrously different stories about his car and rifle? Because they needed to explain away the rifle they actually used in the murders: "YES, these assholes had access to a rifle, but they aren't your killers" There logic was by putting ANY rifle in their possession that still has a ramp on it, and that alone somehow proves they didn't use a pellet rifle in the murders. The problem is every one of them have conflicting stories about the .22, but the clincher is the rifle was supposedly TUCKED UNDER THE FRONT BENCH SEAT OF DEE's FORD WAGON. Unfortunately for each of these murderers, I've already proved beyond any doubt that the transmission tunnel makes it impossible to hide something as long as the rifle under the seat.
So, the short answer is: Dee's .22 rifle was NOT in his car, the killers in 26 never had access to it, and even if they did they still used a Daisy 880 pellet/bb pump rifle in the murders. They shot off at least one pellet, and broke the tip sight off the barrel when pummeling the victims.
I've caught a lot of flack from assholes and idiots who don't understand my term "reverse alibi", or just think it's an outlandish stretch of my imagination. But those same fuck-knobs have proved themselves unworthy of any thoughtful consideration. The Reverse Alibi is done time and again; it's just a bait-and-switch tactic. The killers figured they'd be asked about a rifle, since they used that Daisy, so they built it into the Loonibi. "See, we had access to a rifle. A 22. It's at Dee's house, please look." They figured Tony Garedakis may somehow get dragged into the cesspool of killer candidates, so they made up this SECOND dead-ringer for Avery, a person who definitely does NOT match Tony's age, level of fatitude, or vehicle. Shit, Marty's deadpan BS about the hammer is even on that level of stupidity: "I somehow know a hammer was involved, so I bring it up without any prompting: I want to see that hammer, cuz the only hammer I saw come out of that house has a wooden handle. Mine is missing. What type of handle, you ask? Blue rubber."
These asshat murderers use feeble bait-and-switch tactics time and again.
ALSO, as an update to
this post, Dee managed to regain control of his Lee Rd house. I also heard, in his absence, the house had been burglarized and stripped/damaged. What we know is he turned the house in 2017 for $130,000, taking a major prong up the ass on the deal. When he first ran from Quincy, the house was worth close to 300K.
FUCK YOU, DEE JAY LAKE!
