Read the story 1st before posting incorrectly! The guy allegedly burnt to death was owed the money not the other way around!

 

Well im sure we will find out in time? Time being the operative word?

 

I am not certain of that at all. While past performance is no guarantee of future results (disclaimer from stock broker firms) there are just too many unsolved crimes or crimes in which a conviction was not the end result. Way too many in which a conviction of an innocent person seemed too likely to happen also. Ellah Pique case for example. It is what it is.

 

Cebu - The American citizen Timothy Wilson (60) who was burned on Thursday found in a car (see article 03.18.2016), is believed to have been killed out of jealousy. The head of the Cebu City Police Office (CCPO) murder investigation Senior Inspector Elisandro Quijano says the victim's wife, Jocelyn Wilson stated that it is the Australian who was last seen with her husband to concerns Craeg Keith Ratcliff (42) in Looc, Calatrava, Negros Occidental is at home. Quijano says, we do not know if Wilson was already dead before the Toyota RAV4 was lighted. According to Quijano even an autopsy, a DNA test and dental test is performed on the body of Wilson, made. The Australian has been seen before, as he shopped gasoline in a canister. Quijano says we have the City Investigation Branch (CIB), the Investigation Detective Management Branch and the Traffic and Police Regional Office-18 informed in Negros Occidental to arrest the suspects. In Cebu all entry and exit points of the province are controlled. Wilson says, my husband was very nice to Ratcliff and had borrowed this $ 500,000. The deputy chief of CCPO use Superintendent George Ylanan says we have already found the getaway car, a Toyota Innova which is registered in the name Maria Aiza Ratcliff, the wife of the suspects. Police have also found that belonged to the burnt-out Toyota RAV4 Ratcliff himself.According to the police, the vehicle was had no license plates, identified by the chassis number and engine number.

If he could lay low for a month? Probably for a very long time. Let him get off the front page and for the police to stop actively looking for him, the guy would have to give himself away before anyone would notice anything strange about another "American" of the New Zealand/British variety. We all look alike to them. Dress like a tourist just off the plane and hang out around the mall.

 

I can only hope the guy was dead before the fire. Not a good way to go out if I had a choice that would fall toward the bottom of my list. Still very disheartening to hear that about anyone. Money can cause problems for sure and I have often wondered why Filipinos are far happier with so little than Americans with so much.

 

Partly because you have nothing to lose. Sue someone who has nothing and he will laugh at you, while he is at home because he won't even waste his time to show up. Surely the more you have the more uptight you are going to be. Things own you as much as you own them. I didn't want to play that game so I bought cheap vehicles and I gave the one I still had away when I had to go back to the US and even paid 500 php for limited power of attorney for the person I gave it to so they could legally transfer it to a new buyer. I really feel for people who make too a big an investment before they find out they can hack the Philippines or not, and then they try to sell their stuff at 90% of new price to start, eventually at fire sale prices as they get closer to departure date. Part of what made me wonder about the guy who wrapped his newish small car around a tree? Hard to not lose your a$$ on some things.
