Who has possesion of stolen jewelry from the night of the murder? I do not believe that to be true. As far as blood being on clothing, that would have happened while investigating the botched crime scene. This case has gone on far to long. The disturbing fact is,no one relly seems to want the case solved, other than lawmen who were there that night. They are all retired now but I know for certain Sheriff George Wayman would like this solved and off the books before Chub dies! The sheriff is old and Chub is in bad health.
Strange the Mullendore's are satisfied to let this crime go unsolved. True E.C. caused much grief for them and yes, EVERYONE benefited from his death. He really was worth more dead than alive, none the less justice still needs to be served!

AFter discussions with a private investigator who extensively investigated the case, and a man who was chief of police in Pawhuska years ago,law enforcement personnel were very suspect in several things that happened in Osage County around that time. The person seen wering the Cross Bell ring was a deputy at that time and according to Quitney's book, was one of the first to respond to the ranch after hearing the radio call for help at the ranch. He was (according to the book) waiting on the county road close to the entrance to the ranch. If I am not mistaken, Qwitney even mentions him being seen with the ring. I'll have to check that out again, I've heard too much since reading the book. Has anyone else heard this story?

As far as blood on the clothing being from a botched crime scene investigation, the investigator said there was not enough blood at the crime scene for it to have been the primary scene. First responders may have encountered enough to be bloody upon leaving but doubt was cast as to whether anyone else would. If deputy was first responder, it stands to reason he could have "pilfered" before anyone else arrived. Don't believe Chubb killed EC but believe he knows who did and believe Waymon knows, too. Could have been some kind of deal made with Chubb to keep his mouth shut until his death and then the truth will come out.
