In an intriguing turn of events, CBS42 has learned of a blog from Major Bashinsky's brother. We hear from his brother for the first time.
In Sloan Bashinsky's blog www.goodmorningkeywest.com, Sloan talks about his relationship with his brother Major and the Bashinsky family.
He says the last time the brothers exchanged words was in 2005 at their father's memorial service. But, Sloan is very outspoken about Major's death through his blog. "It looks to me like a riddle and it looks like it's rigged. How does he end up in that lake or in the pond and dump him in plain view, it doesn't make any damn sense to me and I can't imagine who would have it in for him," Sloan Bashinsky says.
Sloan tells us there is a long history of difficult events within the Bashinsky family.
"I'm not talking about the details whether Major was murdered or if he killed himself I'm talking about the details of why it was not his time to be alive anymore," says Sloan.
Sloan says he isn't sure if his brother committed suicide, but he wouldn't be surprised.
"What if he was being blackmailed and people had photos and were threatening to expose it would my brother commit suicide over that? Very easily," says Sloan.
While, Sloan says he doesn't want to become part of the investigation, he openly share his own speculations.
"This case is weird it's like it was designed, like someone created it. Was it major or someone that had it in for him."
Sloan Bashinsky also told me he emailed Mountain Brook Police Chief Johnny Stanley about his blog. Chief Stanley says he replied to Sloan saying the department is sorry for the family's loss. Chief Stanley says they will take all leads seriously, but the case is now in the Birmingham Police Department's hands.
The Birmingham Police Department tells us, they will not begin the investigation until the coroner's office rules on the official cause of death. That report could come by early next week.
UPDATE: As of this weekend, Bashinsky's brother continues to blog about the situation concerning his brother’s disappearance and ultimate death. Records from his blog show that he did not blog any himself yesterday but today’s blog so far has been in reference to "another brother" of Bashinsky, an apparent reply to a blog from earlier this week. CBS 42 is continuing to gather information this weekend regarding this bizarre case and will continue to update you on cbs42.com as more information becomes available.
