Buster, …Sometimes the best posts that any of us make don’t get answered because there is nothing more to say or no better way of putting it. ……… I’ve been contemplating what you said about Kato the dog being responsible for the “Hey! Hey! Hey!” ever since you brought it up. This is what I came up with so far: ……… The dog could not have been barking the way Heidstra and Pilnak described it when Nicole went to the front gate to let Ron in. If Kato were barking at all outside of the front gate Nicole would gone outside to bring him in and taken Ron with her to help. If they had brought the dog in or Ron had the dog with him when Nicole opened the gate, the dog would have been involve in the death struggle. If that were true, Kato would have had Ron’s blood on the upper part of his body, not just the paws and belly (assuming that the mud was a mix of blood and dirt). That means Nicole must have thought the Akita was locked in the backyard behind the second gate. It also means that the dog could not have been out front or Ron would have seen him and brought him in. ……… I’m thinking that Dick Wagner might have been right about Pablo Fenjves hearing the dog around the time he said he did (10:15 or 10:20). That puts the killer with the dog in the time range that the Iago hypotheses says he had to have arrive behind the Bundy condo. The killer would have been following the limo so this part of his timing would have been dictated by when Park got to the killer’s break off point. That means I was wrong about the Bundy lookout opening the front gate to let the dog out. The killer let him out of the BACK gate and closed it behind him. The ally would have provided a good sound-conduit for Fenjves to hear the “plaintiff wail” of the dog WANTING TO GET BACK INTO THE GATE while Pilnak heard nothing. ………. I’m sure that the “Hey! Hey! Hey!” was Fuhrman (size 12 shoes, “young voice”) yelling at Roberts (smaller shoes, deeper, “older sounding voice”) because the argument between two men started immediately after the three shouts. Heidstra heard the barking for five minutes straight. When he first heard it he was on Gorham just past the alley. He recognized the dog’s bark and judged by the sound that the dog was on Bundy near Nicole’s gate (if it had been closer to him or farther away it would have made a special impression on him). That means the dog had to be a witness to Roberts coming to the gate when Heidstra reached his listening post in the alley. And that means the “Hey! Hey! Hey!” could have been directed toward Roberts AND the dog. –Jasper
