Who Was Seth Rich?

Total red pill ...

Seth Rich's murder, cold nine months tomorrow. His family is seeking donations (having been forgotten by MPDC and a-holes like Jack Burkman.) for independent investigation and analysis.



Created March 19, 2017

My name is Aaron Rich and I am the brother of the Seth Rich who was murdered in Washington DC on July 10th, 2016. His murder remains unsolved to this day.

Seth was an amazing person who only cared about trying to help others and make the world better. He was extremely passionate about his civic duty and making sure everyone had a chance to be heard. My brother made a difference every single day, and I know that now more than ever because of the emotional support we have received from across the country and around the world.

His murder remains a mystery, and despite the hard work of the detectives at the Washington Metropolitan Police Department, we have still been unable to get the answers to the questions surrounding his death. Because of the lack of clear evidence in the case, Seth’s job working for the Democratic National Committee and the caustic political environment we find ourselves in today, many people have used my brother’s murder for their own agendas. Every few weeks another conspiracy theory surfaces, another promise of credible information and another lack of evidence to support the crazy claims being made.

My family has received many offers of assistance in finding Seth’s killers, and we are so grateful for each and every one of them. It gives us hope to know that Seth isn’t forgotten and that his case remains on people’s minds.

One thing that no one tells you, and something we weren’t prepared to hear when we lost Seth, is that if a case isn’t solved immediately, it could take months or years before justice is served. Worse, to keep the investigation active, to seek leads and to follow up on investigations, to make sure that every possible angle is covered—its expensive. My family isn’t wealthy and because we lack the funds or resources to make sure we are doing what we can to aid Washington’s police department, we’ve had to rely on help. Experience has taught us that we need help, and we need help that is free from any ulterior motives or with any strings attached. That’s why, with a heavy heart, I have started this fund.

These funds will allow my family to investigate, and help solve Seth's murder. We know somewhere, someone has the information on who murdered Seth. We intend to use these funds to hire professional help that can discover new facts and information, cooperating with the police and solving this in the fastest way possible. The funds will be used for three purposes:

1) Allow us to raise and maintain public awareness of Seth's unsolved murder through means such as flyers, direct mailings, etc.

2) Allow the family to hire investigative, forensic and analytical services we believe will be useful for discovering new facts and leads in the case.

3) Maintain, and then increase, the reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction at/from it's current level.

These funds will be held in a separate account maintained and administered by the family to ensure full transparency for their use.

We ask for your help in enabling us to help solve Seth's murder, and find the closure we need to move forward in our grieving of our beloved brother and son.

Thank you for your time, support, and sharing of our story.

-Aaron Rich
Brother of Seth Rich

Wow, thank you, Cordelia, for posting Aaron Rich's message. I'm going to make a donation.

Yeah, me too. I don't hold much hope for his family ever knowing why (or by who) he was killed, but want to support them and their efforts. (I do hope for a seasoned, hardened, crackerjack PI, one not intimidated by corrupt police and politicians and who knows how to handle the murky characters bubbling up from that deep swamp that is d.c. Someone kinda like


I've never contributed to a 'gofundme' and hesitated because of Jack Burkman's tentacles, but it sounds like Seth Rich's family is distancing itself from him.)

And on Thursday, Republican lobbyist Jack Burkman announced the opening of the Seth Rich Center for Investigation. The initiative, which is operating wholly independently of the Rich family, will maintain an office in Arlington, VA and operate a 24-hour tip line. An investigator and a forensic psychologist will lead the effort, working with a team of collegiate volunteers studying forensic science to pursue leads.

In an email to Heat Street, Aaron Rich said he didn’t know about Burkman’s initiative until the lobbyist held a news conference Thursday. “Mr. Burkman does not represent the family in any capacity nor does he speak for the family,” he said. “His statements are his and his alone.”

In the fwiw depts.........

Lest the MPDC be thought diligent or prejudiced in closing (not necessarily involving arrests) their cold cases, none on their end-of-year list for 2016 (Seth Rich was killed in July) has been closed.

Also, a c&p from Jack Burkman's latest Seth Rich endeavor, started in March (added to creating billboards and plans for a televised 'crime re-enactment').

Profiling Project

Arlington, Virginia – Location: UNDISCLOSED

-Independent and non-partisan

Funded by lobbyist/lawyer Jack Burkman, founder of the firm Burkman & Assoc., “The Profiling Project” is an autonomous and independent unit investigating the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich. The Profiling Project is in separate office space by design. Its creation as an independent unit was announced on March 23, 2017 at a news conference in the neighborhood where Seth Rich lived and was murdered, and in front of a billboard erected by Mr. Burkman as part of his ongoing commitment to Seth’s parents and to the community to investigate what happened to Mr. Rich. The Profiling Project is led by Kevin Doherty and Jennifer Rohrer, Ph.D. (Please see team bios.) The Profiling Project is being staffed by The Student Association for Forensic Psychology (SAFP) at George Washington University. It is a student organization comprised of graduate students pursuing a Master’s in Forensic Psychology.

Team Bios

Statement from The Profiling Project

Our hearts go out to the family of Seth Rich, whose murderer is still at large. We hope that by assembling this wholly volunteer, non-partisan team of objective forensic-psychology graduate students, psychologists and former federal/local law enforcement officers/agents, that we may be able to provide beneficial additional tools, resources and analysis in the murder of Seth.

We understand law enforcement is still vigorously pursuing the criminal investigation into the murder with the fullest of scope, effort and attention. We also understand that as with many cold-case murders, the assistance of the public is a valuable asset to law enforcement agencies, as it is often the public who provides a crucial piece of information well after the initial investigation.

By using various psychological tools and techniques like geographical profiling, victimology and investigative psychology, we hope to provide significant, actionable information and insight that may assist in the arrest and prosecution of Seth’s murderer and give closure to his family.


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Question: Jack Burkman has donated the space and the supplies. Does that mean he is in charge of this effort?

Answer: No. And it’s by design, The Profiling Project will operate independently from Mr. Burkman. Mr. Burkman and his law firm/lobby firm will continue to advocate and work toward to solving this murder. The investigations that The Profiling Project do are in addition and separate from any efforts by Mr. Burkman and his lobby/law firm.

Question: Jack Burkman has talked about doing a re-enactment of the murder scene. Is that still the case?

Answer: Yes, but that effort will be separate from The Profiling Project. The Profiling Project will focus its investigative techniques on the areas they know best. Anything learned from the re-enactment will be shared with The Profiling Project team members if they request it.

Question: Can you be more clear on the structure?

Answer: Sure. Just like the Department of Justice is under the executive branch of The White House, and the FBI is under DOJ, they operate independently of The White House. Jack Burkman is providing everything The Profiling Project needs to succeed. But The Profiling Project operates independently of Jack Burkman and his law firm/lobby firm. Two stellar, highly credentialed, independent and capable volunteer executives oversee the work being done by The Profiling Project with the ultimate goal of solving and/or developing a profile of who murdered Seth Rich.

Question: Is the Rich family involved in The Profiling Project? I know the family has made public appearances with Mr. Burkman…

Answer: The Profiling Project operates independently of everyone, including the Rich family. The Profiling Project team looks forward to working with the family and having their cooperation with the hope of solving this crime for them and the entire D.C. community. Mr. Burkman informed the family of his plans to fund this effort and briefed them following the news conference.

Question: Is this part of a D.C. police investigation?

Answer: The Profiling Project is a totally private, autonomous investigative effort created and now working toward developing a profile and identifying other clues that may be helpful toward the goal of arresting the person or persons responsible. Members of The Profiling Project may re-interview some of the same people talked to by police when the murder occurred over the summer.

Question: Why won’t you give the office address of The Profiling Project?

Answer: It’s in abundance of safety that we are not publicizing the address, beyond saying it’s in Arlington. It’s not a closely guarded secret, but given what has happened, a little extra layer of caution is not a bad thing.

Family's private investigator: There is evidence Seth Rich had contact with WikiLeaks prior to death

Very interesting if true! Thanks.

Worth watching the video to see the D.C. "Fox 5" team breathlessly talk about how the conspiracy theorists were right this time!

Most insightful comments I've seen, yet amongst the onslaught of frenzied posts,,

If the Washington post tells you it's day, you can bet your ass it's night. When all the mainstream op-ed momblogs like huffpo, buzzfeed, and the two CIA propaganda arms WaPo & NYT are reporting on something, you can bet your ass it's fake.

I guess Seth's FAMILY speaks with BuzzFeed

spokesperson Brad Bauman told BuzzFeed News in an emailed statement.

The Family Of A Murdered DNC Staffer Has Rejected A Report Linking His Death To WikiLeaks

The family of murdered Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich on Tuesday strongly rejected reports claiming he had been in contact with WikiLeaks.

"As we've seen through the past year of unsubstantiated claims, we see no facts, we have seen no evidence, we have been approached with no emails and only learned about this when contacted by the press," spokesperson Brad Bauman told BuzzFeed News in an emailed statement.

Fox 5 in Washington, DC, first reported last night that the "family's private investigator" had found "tangible evidence" on Rich's laptop showing he was in touch with WikiLeaks before he died last summer. Then this morning, Fox News reported that Rich "had leaked thousands of internal emails to WikiLeaks," citing a "federal investigator."

[elfismiles]

So ... when did Burkman get replaced by Wheeler?

And Wheeler is not saying that he has the evidence on the laptop but is repeating his anonymous contacts claims (from BOTH local PD and FBI) that the laptop has such contact-with-wikileaks evidence.

And this all coming out right when tRump needs another distraction from his latest faux paw allegedly revealing intel gathering info.
