04/02/08 - "Somebody has got to be paying these guys to have done this," Fuhrman said. "In this case I'd say all you have to do is follow the money. "

Fuhrman authored a 1998 book on the murder of Belle Haven resident Martha Moxley that pointed to Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel as the prime suspect. Skakel was later convicted of the crime.

"These two men are insignificant people in the world of Kissel but they had access to him," Fuhrman said. "If Carlos had an issue with Andrew and wanted to kill him why would he include his cousin? There is your conspiracy."

Fuhrman theorizes on Kissel conspiracy

With two men in custody for a conspiracy to murder Andrew Kissel, police and prosecutors will now try to coax the real estate developer's former driver and another suspect to see if they identify other conspirators in a wider plot, former Los Angeles police detective Mark Fuhrman said...

...The combination of Kissel's wealth and tangled financial affairs lends credence to the possibility police have records showing someone paid Carlos Trujillo, Kissel's long-time personal assistant, and his cousin, Leonard Trujillo, of Worcester, Mass., to kill Kissel to gain control of Kissel money or assets, perhaps including ill gotten proceeds from Kissel's mortgage scams, Fuhrman said.

With Kissel, those conspirators could be any number of business partners or other close associates, Fuhrman said....

...Someone who knew that Kissel was staying at the home and that the movers were coming the next day could be reasonably assured that the moving crew would find Kissel's body, allowing them to establish a plausible account for their own whereabouts during that time period, Fuhrman said.

"The body needs to be found so certain people who put things in motion can account for the time before the body is discovered," Fuhrman said. "The suspect always knows the time the murder occurred so an investigator can start (focusing on)the time they are most adamant about where they are."

Fuhrman said that the fact that Kissel's body was left at the murder scene also undercuts any speculative theory that he was killed by an organized crime associate who feared Kissel would provide incriminating information to authorities about them....
