Bob Bashara Hires His Own Investigation Team To Probe Jane Bashara's Murder In Detroit

Bob Bashara, named by Detroit police as a "person of interest" in his wife's strangulation death, announced through his lawyer that he's hired a team of private investigators to solve the mystery of her murder.

Lawyer David Griem told The Associated Press that one of Bashara's hires includes a retired FBI agent -- and that the team has already found its own person of interest in the case.

In another development, an unidentified Oregon woman was flown to Detroit to talk with police investigators this week, according to WWJ Newsradio.

Bashara, who maintains his innocence, reported Jane Bashara missing on Jan. 24, the night before her body was found in the back of her Mercedez-Benz SUV, parked in an alleyway. An autopsy revealed that she'd been strangled, her windpipe had been crushed and fingernails were missing.

In February, the Bashara's daughter Jessica told "Good Morning America" that there's "no doubt in my mind, I know that he did not do it."

Though cops have searched the Bashara home in Grosse Pointe Park several times, no charges have been filed in the case.

He should call OJ. I'm sure he could recommend a good private investigator for him.

Goodness, you all jump to conclusions. Let the legal process play out and see what proof develops. The fact that you "just know he did it" means nothing. I wish I knew how many innocent people were lynched by folks who just knew they did it.

What's with these guys? I watch HLN and Investigative Discovery and cannot believe the number of women who are murdered by their husbands. The number is astounding. Ladies if you are unhappy and contemplating a divorce go to a lawyer first and then get OOT ASAP...other wise your loving husband will either kill you and you will disappear forever or he will hire someone to do you in. Do NOT tell you husband of your intentions because he is probably already writing out a suicide note forging your name to it.

The fact that you watch a sensationalistic tabloid like HLN says a lot. They are not even slightly interested in the truth....only creating a hubbub to get viewers. Be patient, ignore Nancy Grace, and see what the police develop.

Generally, an investigation should begin within the circle of family/close friends, but not all wives or husbands (or children) are murdered by their nearest and dearest. It is a bad idea to dtermine who one thinks must be guilty and turn over rocks looking for something to prove it, rather than keeping an open mind.

I cannot form an opinion on this specific case, since I don't have any details that might prove anything, except that this poor lady is deceased.

I live about 30 miles north of Det and things have changed for the better. Now that Kwame and Monica Conyers are gone, things are improving. They're not great by any means but not as bad as you remmeber them.

im kinda wondering how come the fingernails are always missing in murders, i mean is there a correlation between death and fingernails easily falling out? i know there's struggling and scratching involved, but i don't think they usually fall out...

[HomeGrower]

10:05 AM on 02/24/2012

I'm guessing they're gone cuz there was a struggle and the killer(s) were smart enough to know DNA evidence is usually found there.

They don't fall out, they get torn off during a struggle. Also, nail overlays or artificial nails break off or can come off the entire nail bed that is underneath.

Of course it was the husband... Even if he didnt do it himself he hired someone. It is always the freakin husband!
