The lawyer for a San Antonio businessman says telephone calls to a
Florida private investigator in the weeks before a killer gunned down
his ex-wife in Sarasota, Fla., ``don't mean a thing.''
Roy Barrera Jr. tells WOAI radio today there is ``no connection''
between Allen Blackthorne and the killing of Sheila Bellush, a mother of
quadruplets.
But Florida private investigator Laura Wallace told Tampa television
station WTVT that weeks before the homicide, a man who would not
identify himself called with an offer of $50,000 to find his former
wife.
Sheila Bellush was shot dead in her home, and her small children were
found covered in blood but unharmed near the body.
Wallace said Sarasota police told her they had traced the calls to
Blackthorne.
Barrera said, ``A lot of people are now making opinions and conclusions
about what things look like, but there is no connection.''
Blackthorne has not been charged in the case. But Blackthorne's friend,
Daniel Rocha, is among three people who have been charged in Bellush's
death.
Rocha and Samuel Gonzalez are jailed in Florida on conspiracy charges.
The alleged triggerman, Joe Del Rio, is behind bars in Mexico City.
