But robbery never made sense-- again, if it was an intended heist, who was in the inside man at L&B? There's not even been the slightest suggestion of how this could have gone down... I'm not looking for names by any means, just common sense.

I wonder if the cops really thought it was a robbery gone bad or if there was some other reason(s) to suggest that?

That that video has kicked up zilch so far is also interesting; also nothing about the car (presumably stolen but still) or where it went afterwards...

Are the cops chasing their tails, were the hitter(s) smarter than it seems or ???

Also, given the neighborhood and past associations, suspicions naturally lie with the Columbos but maybe it's something / someone else altogether?

Anyone's speculation is as good as mine but what seemed "obvious" a couple weeks ago is anything but now.
