The bit you quoted upthread doesn't mention Beebe at all, so it was misleading.
There is a two-hour window between the body being discovered and the Judge being called.
Poindexter, incidentally, was an appointee under the Reagan and GHW Bush administrations, so would have been of Scalia's own political persuasion, and he is stating that Scalia died naturally.

I thought you said you had read the entirety of Skeptic's thread? If you had you would have known the Guevara was the third person reached.
But there is a one hour window between when Justice Scalia's body was found and when the sheriff received notice from the dispatcher. Unless you think the dispatcher sat on the call for an hour, then there was at least a one hour gap between when the body was found and when it was reported to the sheriff.
The description of the room as found by the sheriff certainly gives the impression of 'all is well,' but then that is to be expected.
Minor difference, but details matter.

That's the wrong Poindexter. If you had actually read that entire thread thoroughly, you would have known that. Before you post your opposition and criticism to the discussion, you really should go read Skeptic's entire thread and look up all pertinent links to the discussion.
Nope, I was just going by what you posted.
Yeah, I read all that. It's a load of hooey. It isn't 'far-reaching' at all.

You are quite right, I had got the wrong John Poindexter. That was careless of me, since both Scalia and Poindexter were Reagan appointees, I mistakenly thought the John Poindexter at the ranch was Scalia's contemporary and fellow-conservative.
But so what? Everyone in this discussion has made mistakes, some more significant than others, and this is (a) a coincidence and (b) really not consequential at all.
The relevant point was that the John Poindexter being quoted said it was a natural-looking death.
There was a lot that got dug up in the tread to which I linked in the OP
I have yet to find any connections between Elmendorf and any of the key people discussed in Skeptic's thread (linked below) regarding Scalia's death. It is my hope that by posting this thread, others here at ATS may find this of enough interest to put forth some effort and discover if there is anything to this latest wrinkle.
So, remind me why I was supposed to be reading a thread that had no connection to the person you had started a thread about?
Veteran homicide investigators in New York and Washington, DC, on Monday questioned the way local and federal authorities in Texas handled the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. “It’s not unreasonable to ask for an autopsy in this case, particularly knowing who he is,” retired Brooklyn homicide Detective Patricia Tufo told The Post.
“He’s not at home. There are no witnesses to his death, and there was no reported explanation for why a pillow is over his head,” Tufo said. “So I think under the circumstances it’s not unreasonable to request an autopsy. Despite the fact that he has pre-existing ailments and the fact that he’s almost 80 years old, you want to be sure that it’s not something other than natural causes.”
Bill Ritchie, a retired deputy chief and former head of criminal investigations for the DC police, said he was dumbstruck when he learned that no autopsy would be performed.“How do you know that person wasn’t smothered? How do you know it’s not a homicide until you conduct an investigation? You have to do your job. Once you go through that process, you can conclude that this is a naturally occurring death.”
R's will probably say tonight that POTUS should not nominate anyone, or anyone should be confirmed until next year. She should object to that in interviews or appropriate forum tomorrow.
The above shows that you don't even understand the OP. Elmendorf is but one aspect to all of this. The OP was about the possiblity of Scalia having been murdered and the email which was included (which Elmendorf was originally sent) was related to that as part of the discussion.
We get it that you think there is "nothing to see," here and that all of the other things mentioned do not bare any sort of weight in relation to the topic at hand; the possible murder of a Supreme Court Justice. The fact is that there were plenty of law enforcement and former law enforcement officers who thought that there should/ have been an autopsy, even though Scalia was, "a fat old chain-smoking man in very bad health."
Again, since you said that there is no connection between Elmendorf and the people in one of the many links you provided, I had a choice of reading about Elmendorf or about something else that wasn't relevant.
You still haven't even suggested what I might have learned by reading the thread you said had no connection to the person who sent the email that inspired this thread

Saw that, the notion traces back to GLP.
