Okay, so Dr. Thomas Hess was “friends” with Erica Blasberg. They watched golf together at her home, went to a local casino together, and played golf together two days prior to finding her dead in her Henderson, Nevada home.
Now Dr. Hess is trying to explain why he removed evidence from her house the evening he alleges that he found her dead… things like prescription medication, and oh yeah… the suicide note. “I know doing that was – was stupid, but I was trying to save some embarrassment for her.”
Or better yet – maybe some embarrassment for him? Mel Blasberg, Erica’s father, has told ESPN that he thinks that Dr. Thomas Hess and his daughter had an intimate relationship. It’s worth noting that the nature of their relationship hasn’t been confirmed, as the police are not commenting on it.
Hess was arrested after being charged with a misdemeanor for obstruction of justice for removing the medication and the suicide note. He was released after posting bail.
My thought: Her father would be well served to hire an attorney and keep digging. Contrary to what the police might think, most people don’t see this as an open and shut case. I don’t know whose interest is being served here, but it sure as hell isn’t Mel Blasberg’s or his daughter’s….
