1). After he left bar and before he was shot where was he? Why haven't the police released data on phone calls, cameras etc that would have tracked him.

Don't have the link off hand but recall just reading that he left the bar about 1:15? am...walked home. Must have been a long walk because it was at least 2 hours later (either 3:17 or 4:17am) that he told his girlfriend not to worry he was just 'steps' away from his home. Then she heard the sounds of other people, etc.

If this was a premeditated murder, it seems plausible that the people were waiting for him near his home.

http://archive.is/JYjzA Okay found it: My memory wasn't too bad...

"Rich had been at Lou’s City Bar a couple of miles from his home until about 1:15 a.m. He walked home, calling several people along the way. He called his father, Joel Rich, who he missed because he had gone to sleep. He talked with a fraternity brother and his girlfriend, Kelsey Mulka.   Around 4:17 a.m., Rich was about a block from his home when Mulka, still on the phone with him, heard voices in the background. Rich reassured her that he was steps away from being at his front door and hung up.   Two minutes later, Rich was shot twice. Police were on the scene within three minutes. Rich sustained bruising on his hands and face. He remained conscious, but died at a nearby hospital less than two hours later."

This damage control, early 'Russian' story propaganda FAKE NEWS seeding Newsweek article from August 20, 2016 has their own timeline: http://www.newsweek.com/seth-rich-murder-dnc-hack-julian-assange-hillary-clinton-donald-trump-492084 http://archive.is/WSoxE reports that Seth Rich left the bar at 2:30 a.m.' "It was closing time at Lou’s City Bar when Seth Rich drained the last of his Bell’s Two Hearted Ales and started walking into the muggy night in a trendy neighborhood of northwest Washington, D.C. At 2:30 a.m. on July 10."

This appears to be inaccurate, as Lou's City Bar in Columbia Heights closed at 1:45 am, unless he had ordered a final beer at closing and nursed it for 45 min.

http://www.fox5dc.com/news/local-news/193631067-story "Rich’s walk home from Columbia Heights to his home in the Bloomingdale neighborhood would have roughly taken him 30 minutes. Rich was fatally shot as he was on the phone with his girlfriend at about 4:20 a.m. What happened from when he left Lou's City Bar or The Wonderland Ballroom to when he was gunned down remains unclear."

The Newsweek article played up crime in the area: "The cops suspected Rich was a victim of an attempted robbery, one of many that plague the neighborhood. Strangely, however, they found his wallet, credit cards and cellphone on his body. The band of his wristwatch was torn but not broken."

The Aug 18th Fox5 reported it this way: "Right now, sources said police still believe Rich’s death was a robbery gone wrong and they have no evidence his death was related to his job.

Police sources close to the investigation also said that there have been seven arrests linked to armed robberies in the Bloomingdale neighborhood that happened just days before Rich was killed. Those arrests were made after the murder and there were three guns that were recovered after the apprehension.

However, none of those guns have matched with the ballistics in Rich's murder."

So Seth Rich walked calmly home, late at night, through a neighborhood plagued with armed robberies? That sounds odd to me.

Anyway...in the Fox5 account they refer to this "What happened from when he left Lou's City Bar or The Wonderland Ballroom to when he was gunned down remains unclear. Here is the event going on July 9 at The Wonderland Ballroom: (shows a half naked woman but no 'nudity') http://archive.is/PJ3Om http://www.thewonderlandballroom.com/event/dj-meistro/2016-07-09/

If Seth's girlfriend was talking to him just before he would have reached home, I'd imagine he would have told her where he was for over 2 hours prior to that.

It is also highly suspect that Hilary Clinton in real time on the campaign trail at a rally would know about a specific murder in Washington specifically the name of the victim and details she nor anyone would have access to at the time. She stated in real time the name Seth Rich on stage.

This is precious:

DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz issued a statement on Monday mourning the death of Rich, who worked as voter expansion data director. “Our hearts are broken with the loss of one of our DNC family members over the weekend. Seth Rich was a dedicated, selfless public servant who worked tirelessly to protect the most sacred right we share as Americans – the right to vote," she said. "He saw the great potential of our nation and believed that, together, we can make the world a better place."

and Hillary wouldn't want to waste a chance at pushing gun control:

"Hillary Clinton spoke about Rich on Tuesday morning, amid remarks in New Hamphire on gun violence. "Just this past Sunday, a young man, Seth Rich -- who worked for the Democratic National Committee, to expand voting rights -- was shot and killed in his neighborhood in Washington. He was just 27 years old," she said. "Surely we can agree that weapons of war have no place on the streets of America."

Wait a second...'weapons of war'? What kind of gun did they use?

Isn't it odd that the DNC didn't pony up reward money to help track down who killed their "DNC family member" but Republican Lobbyist Jeb Bush supporter Jack Burkman offered $100,000...then $105,000...then $130,000... ?

Why is that highly suspect? WTF does real time mean in this case?

She was on stage? So these means it was during a campaign during the day or several hours after he died. By that point his family, friends and coworkers would have known of his death.

You think it's odd that a Democrat running for President would mention a DNC worker who was murdered? Hell folks in her campaign were recruiting the guy to work for them didn't they?

And in this case Real Time is two days after his murder. As revealed by the NBC News Link below.
