How the Murder of a D.N.C. Staff Member Fueled Conspiracy Theories
By JONAH ENGEL BROMWICH
The murder last July of an employee of the Democratic National Committee received renewed attention from news media outlets on the right this week when a private investigator and longtime Fox News contributor said that there was “tangible evidence” that the employee, Seth Rich, had contacted WikiLeaks before his death.
The investigator has since given shifting and contradictory accounts to other news organizations, and Mr. Rich’s family has grown increasingly distressed, calling the politicization of his death “painful” and “debilitating” and asking for retractions and apologies from the Fox outlets that promoted the investigator’s story.
From Wiki....
Murder of Seth Rich
Right-wing conspiracy theories about the crime were debunked by law enforcement, and by fact-checking websites including: PolitiFact,[6] Snopes.com,[8] and FactCheck.org. The theory falsely stated Rich leaked DNC emails in 2016 and received promotion from commentators such as Mike Cernovich, Sean Hannity, Geraldo Rivera, Kim Schmitz, Paul Joseph Watson, and Brittany Pettibone. U.S. intelligence concluded Russia was behind the leak as part of 2016 U.S. elections interference.The fabrications were described as fake news and falsehoods, by The New York Times,The Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times.
Rich's parents condemned the conspiracy theorists who exploited their son's death for political gain and called them "sociopaths" and "disgusting" for continuing to post the debunked theories. They requested a retraction and apology from Fox News, and sent a cease and desist letter to the investigator Fox News used. This investigator admitted he had no evidence, and Fox News issued a retraction.

From the world of Twitter emerges a character called Kim Dotcom.
Who is Seth Rich and why is Kim Dotcom linked to the slain DNC staffer?
On 20 May, German-Finnish entrepreneur Kim Dotcom set off a rush of Twitter activity by claiming: "I knew Seth Rich. I know he was the @WikiLeaks source. I was involved."
Fox News host Sean Hannity jumped on the assertion and quickly faced a backlash from his advertisers.

The Washington Post counteracts....
In a bombshell report three days later, The Washington Post claimed Dotcom may have tried to "hack" into the email inbox of Rich. The newspaper reported someone "may have been willing to create a fake archive of emails from Rich" or crack a password linked to his personal account.

Sean Hannity Takes "Abrupt Vacation" Amid Advertiser Boycott
According to Philly.com, Hannity is taking "a couple days off amid a growing advertiser boycott" over Hannity's pursuit of the Seth Rich story - an parallel to Bill O'Reilly's final days - and so far, seven advertisers are said to have pulled out of Hannity’s show.
OK, that's basically the story so far, what evidence have I that the story a fake? tbh not a great deal, but something does not sit right with me following the scams that have been pulled over the years.
For example the contrived images that have been put out there by media sources / google images.

Here is a photo of Seth with his brother

Apparently, Seth was extremely close with his one older brother, Aaron, 34, who lives in Denver, Colorado with his wife Molly.

Well, Aaron didn't appear to me to be overly saddened over his brothers death 3 days later in this video clip from ABC news.

And I kinda find it odd in this video, at around 4:18, Seth's father has to pause briefly to recall his wife of many years name.

As I stated earlier in the post evidence was flimsy, but in my opinion this story is very suspicious.
