There are many unanswered questions about the murder of Seth Rich, and people want answers for various reasons. The first problem is that robbery victims don't usually keep their wallet, watch, and phone. The finding also clashes with what the DC Police Captain said shortly after the incident, "It appears he was targeted, he was shot multiple times." The part of town where this occurred hasn't had a murder in 10 years. Officers who responded are listed as having worn body cameras, and there are numerous cameras in the area, but no footage has been released. Seth was allegedly talkative, but no information on what he said was released.

Seth Rich worked for the Democratic National Committee, as the DNC's Voter Expansion Data Director since 2014, and was a very active Bernie Sanders supporter. You may remember that the DNC had several issues during the election season, including claims of delegate rigging to hamper the Sanders campaign, and most importantly the Wikileaks release of DNC emails. These emails began publication 12 days after Seth's murder.
