After gathering info on Bryan Kocis via an online background check two days (and two years) ago, Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes now had to figure out a good way to kill him. In other words, without getting caught.They pondered the problem, and hit upon a simple plan: since Bryan was a porn producer, they could try a "casting couch" strategy, i.e., dangling Harlow as a carrot to gain entry into his home under false pretenses. Thanks to Bryan's well publicized legal feud with Brent, his susceptibility to twinkish carrots of this nature was legendary throughout the industry. In addition, the background check indicated he might live alone. So if everything went well - if Bryan took the dangled carrot and indeed was by himself when they came a callin' - it just might work.
The first step was to create the carrot. At 11:00 am, two years ago today, "Danny Moilin" aka "dmbottompa@yahoo.com" was born:
Carrot created, it was now time to dangle it. So, 18 minutes later:
...then 3 minutes later Harlow sent himself an email, just to make sure the carrot was fully operational:
...and then 10 minutes later dangled the carrot again, this time via email:
Notice by saying he was visiting family in King of Prussia, PA for only the next week, Harlow was creating an sense of time urgency for the hoped for audition.Harlow impatiently dangled the carrot once more at 1:23 pm:
The image Harlow used for all these model applications was the infamous "Drake" photo. This was an older photo of Harlow, from when he was noticeably younger; my guess is, he wanted the photo to be good enough for Kocis to recognize him at the door, but (hopefully) not good enough for later investigators to recognize him.Bryan liked what he saw. Sometime after the 3rd dangling, he emailed "Danny" back:
The carrot had been bit! A tentative "audition" was set for the 24th; all that remained was for the logistical details to be hashed out over the next day or two...Harlow and Joe now needed a throw away cell phone, for "Danny" to make obstensibly untraceable calls to Bryan. They aquired and activated one that day, it's maiden call pinging off a cell phone tower next to their Stratum Court home at 7:26 pm:
This pre-paid cell phone would be their means of communication, both voice and email, with Bryan and others, over the next three days. For tomorrow, they would be on the road to Pennslyvania...

Harlow wove a not-so-tangled web. If he had really thought this through, he would have activated the prepaid cell phone away from his home/neighborhood and even VB itself. Fortunately, haste, desperation, and greed (regarding needed relief) from their financial woes let prudence go to the winds.
Jim just what you have posted today, the evidence of pre-planning then dropping the revelation on a jury that Harlow Cuadra met Bryan Kocis on Jan 24th 2007 is sufficient Circumstantial grounds for a first degree conviction for Murder and Arson.
By any reasonable and competent measure this has always been an open and shut case.
Textbook tight!
You have to wonder what led Kocis to be so seriously of guard that night. Was he plowed?
I don't think the autopsy detected such.

Even using that gawd damn phone near the VA Bc house was enough to link it to H/J if I am correct regardless of where it was activated.
I would have bought it - paid cash, activated it in another city months before using it for intented purpose.
There was that mad rush or haste to do this gig. They really did screw up in a lot of areas. If only, if only....
