Reconstructing Seth Rich's Final Hours and the Death of Shawn Lucas - Day 205-209 A Webb Companion
George Webb retraces Seth Rich's walk home from Lou's City Bar & Grill at 1:45am to corner of W Street and Flagler where he was found with two bullet wounds in his back.
The series focuses in on the murder of Seth Rich from Day 205 to Day 209. Webb makes his way from New York to DC where he conducts on the ground investigation of the Seth Rich murder. I'm providing some highlights from the last several days of Webb's investigation, however there's a lot to unpack and it's not possible to make a complete account here. I encourage people to watch the recent videos from the series themselves.
Webb discusses the following points
- Retracing the final hours of Seth Rich
- Deaths of Wikileaks trio: Ratner, MacFayden & Jones
- Deaths of DNC Duo: Rich and Lucas
- Publishing the names of the responding officers with body cams to Rich shooting
- Theorizing the name of the Hospital Rich was taken to after the shooting.
- Name of hospital has not been disclosed (should have profusion of evidence from cameras, admission documents, etc)
Summary of Webb's findings
- Webb believes Seth Rich did not live on the 2100 block of First Street NW but lived at 1222 Euclid St. NW
- Webb claims that Seth Rich gave his address to Hospital Staff as 1222 Euclid
- Seth Rich was a regular customer at Lou's City Bar & Grill (upscale sports bar) frequenting the bar up to 6 nights a week
- The owner of Lou's City Bar and Grill did not try to put Rich in a cab at 1:45am (he was out of town)
- Seth Rich talked for 89 minutes on the phone with his girlfriend who lives in Michigan, not DC area.
Webb theorizes that Seth created monthly zipfiles of DNC emails which he then sent on to different members of the Wikileaks Team; Michael Ratner, Gavin MacFayden, John Johns and Craig Murray. Webb estimates that his attempts to relay the DNC files were intercepted but he succeeded by handing off a thumb-drive to Murray.

Day 208
Day 208 consists of 10 short videos of Webb visiting Lou's City Bar & Grill and then retracing the walk Seth took home as suggested by Washington Police. Additionally he visits Howard University Hospital where he believes Rich would have been treated for his gun shot wounds.
Webb also introduces the relationship between Shawn Lucas and Seth Rich. Both DNC leak conspirators meet their untimely deaths 28 days apart.
Shawn Lucas
Shawn Lucas is believed to be involved in the DNC leaks was found dead on his bathroom floor of a drug overdose. Shortly before his death Lucas and another filmmaker visited the DNC National Headquarters to serve the political party and DNC head Debbie Wasserman Schultz with a class action lawsuit for fraud. The suit was brought by Bernie Sanders supporters who claim the DNC committed fraud against Sanders. Interestingly, the class action suit predates the release of the DNC leaks from July 2016.
Shawn Lucas
