you make a solid point.I'm not concerned about the article, I was looking for what gun his sister-in-law girlfriend wife chunked in the trash and then the police and feds covered up.
However, beings that those texts look a lot like others I've read other places, they are most likely pulled from his laptop backups just like all the other texts that have been quoted. Some people just put them in a phone text format for fun reading but if you go look up what a text backup file looks like, it looks like a txt file with code in it. I bet you can go read a bunch on TG or marco polo
Besides, if they were fake and that article is over a year old, and they haven't been sued or retracted it yet, it's probably legit.
I have read several places that the firearm in question for this case is a Colt Cobra .38spl.
