On Friday, at a Michigan State Police post in Taylor, Bob Bashara spent three hours providing a handwriting sample to investigator’s who are investigating his wife’s murder.
Bashara arrived at the post with a private investigator, retired FBI agent J.D. Gifford.
According to court records the samples will be compared to writing on a greeting card, an envelope, a letter and a check that were seized during searches by police.

“Police were cordial,” Bashara told reporters who had gathered outside the post. “I was open and honest with them.”
Before he left, Bashara criticized the press.
“I have been tried and convicted in the media,” he said.
“This is the land of America, where you’re innocent until proven guilty.”
David Griem, Bashara’s attorney, filed a motion in Wayne County Circuit Court to be present when his client gave the handwriting sample.
Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Timothy Kenny ruled that because Bashara had not been charged that there was no right for counsel to be present.
Jane Bashara was reported missing from her Grosse Pointe Park home on January 24; her body was found in the backseat of her SUV in a Detroit alley the next day by a tow truck driver. She had been beaten and strangled.
Joseph Gentz, a handyman who did work for Bob Bashara, has been charged with murder and conspiracy in Jane Bashara’s death. He has reportedly told police, prosecutors and friends that he killed her after being promised money and a vehicle by her husband.
Bob Bashara said he had nothing to say about Gentz’s claims.
“Throughout this whole mess, we have fully cooperated and we continue to do so,” Bashara said.
“Bob Bashara wants to find out who killed his wife.”
