The Seth Rich conspiracy-theory is more ridiculous than you think.
http://www.salon.com/2017/05/17/fox-news-contributor-turns-on-fox-news-after-report-on-a-dnc-murder-conspiracy-falls-apart/Rod Wheeler, a Fox News contributor under contract as a private investigator with Rich’s family, told Fox News’ local affiliate in Washington D.C., WTTG-TV, that “evidence existed that proved Rich had been in contact with Wikileaks before his death.”
...
As CNN reported this week, “For months, right-wing media outlets have floated unproven theories that Rich was the person who provided Wikileaks thousands of internal DNC emails, and that his death might have been connected with the supposed leak,”
...
Wheeler informed CNN that “he had no evidence to suggest Rich had contacted Wikileaks before his death,” and had only learned that evidence possibly existed after speaking to the reporter for the Fox News story.
“I only got that information from the reporter at Fox News,” Wheeler said. Regarding his previous quote about possible email exchanges between Rich and Wikileaks, Wheeler told CNN that he was “referring to information that had already been reported in the media.”

First there were online-rumors.
The private-investigator claims that evidence exists and the basis for his claim are these online-rumors.
And the Wikileaks-connection? He got that info from a Fox News-reporter who in turn got it from online-rumors.
