Vic, there are many scenarios to muse over in this case. Do you think that one of those scenarios could prove to be: Both the family and Jeremy are innocent of any crime? This would shift the blame for any wrong-doing entirely on to EP. I have some doubts about this scenario.

I don't have an axe to grind with Vic though i hold my hands up to having shared some suspicion of Vic, based on a scenario that the family
may have been involved in collusion with EP, outside of the realms of what is legal and proper.
