IN-DEPTH: Meet the Suspects - Tabatha B.
Today we introduce you to Tabatha B., co-owner and operator of Postboxy, and employer of Fathead Fred. Not only was Tabatha the person who found Fathead Fred murdered, but she is also the one who called the police that fateful morning.
As the person who discovered the crime, it is standard procedure to consider that person as a prime suspect, and in this case the fact that Tabatha B. is always the first person on the property in the mornings, without anyone to confirm her alibi, raises suspicions further.
When questioned by police, Tabatha B. is stated as having said her relationship with Fathead Fred was "complicated", but did not give further details to explain her meaning. The 911 call made by Tabatha that morning, as well as police records documenting her interrogation, demonstrate that Tabatha B. seemed to be extremely distraught at the death of Fathead Fred, with her wails and sobs clearly heard throughout the recorded 911 call.
This reporter discovered several additional concerning facts when investigating Tabatha B's background, such as the fact that she used to be an actress, and that she was also the person responsible for Fathead Fred's employment at Postboxy, having designed, printed and put Fred together in order to sell fatheads.
As to motive, perhaps Tabatha B. was not pleased with how many fatheads Fred was selling, and as so many parents have said to their children thought, "I brought you into this world, and I can take you right back out". She certainly has no supported alibi and has full access and know-how with all the tools and potential weapons within the store.
Did Tabatha B. take out Fathead Fred using scissors, cutters and pointy tools at Postboxy because fathead sales were lagging? Was she simply "acting" distraught to deflect attention away from herself? We can't know for sure until the investigation is complete, but we leave the facts to the jury of public opinion.
Stay tuned for our next suspect deep dive as we look into Timmy R., owner of The Tire Store.
