If it does prove to be a crime, I suspect its origins will be in the white-collar world of law and finance. Shortly after Bashinsky's disappearance, Golden Enterprises received a letter critical of the family for reaping millions of dollars in dividends at the expense of workers who manufacture Golden Flake snacks. The letter, apparently from a disgruntled employee, called the Bashinskys "vampires."
Our guess is that the letter is a hoax, an effort to turn suspicion toward middle-class folks who make potato chips and such for a living--and away from the big-dollar, white-collar world in which Major Bashinsky tended to move.
If it was a crime, it appears to have involved more than one person. It's hard to imagine how one person could place the body of a full-grown man in a shallow body of water, supposedly under the cover of darkness.
Did Major Bashinsky have an extremely disgruntled client? Had he crossed swords with an opposing party? Was he involved in a financial deal that went sour?
Alabamians will be paying attention.
