I have to put something I saw on another site up just because I was wondering why the dogs were not barking either. I am sorry but I think that even though they were cocker spaniels they would bark if their owner was being injured and they did not know the person who was with her. Plus, i have some other questions, how close was her home to the golf course? If it was close would they have cameras that might show something on them? I still have not had this question answered either, was it a gated community that she lived in? If so, how do people gain access to gated communities?
A senseless act of vicious violence.
Scant clues:
1) missing purse
2) attendance at a party earlier that evening
3) ambiguous sexual orientation (?)
4) Anne's 2 dogs roaming the neighborhood (or not in the home)
5) the nature of the attack (as reported in the media)
6) no signs of 'forced entry' into Anne's home
7) no report of any indication of a sexual assault
8) no suggestion or indication that Anne had personal (overt) enemies (other than the nature of the attack)
9) Anne's mother was the first to arrive at the crime scene
10) No indication or presence of the device used to strike Anne.
11) No reports of any signs of struggle
12) Nothing (it seems) was taken from Anne's home and it is uncertain if the purse was in her home at the time of the attack
Connecting the dots:
- A female attacker cannot be ruled out
- No report of barking dogs suggests someone 'familiar'
- Was the purse (and keys?) stolen at the party and not from the home?
- It seems reasonable to hypothesize that the attack occurred while Anne was sleeping which indicates a deranged psychopath or an infuriated person who know Anne personally but the 'deranged psychopath' hypothesis does not explain the silent dogs.
- Although distasteful to state, Anne's mother must be considered as a 'person of interest'. She cannot simply be dismissed as a possible suspect. The police will, at least, verify if a 'wake-up' telephone call was actually placed, as stated.
- The nature of the crime indicates a murderous intent on the part of the assailant, who probably left on-foot and taking the 'weapon', suggesting that the device used to strike Anne was of an unusual character (?) the faint descriptions of Anne's wounds suggest the possibility of a crow-bar but someone with keys to Anne's home would have no use for a crow-bar unless Anne had a wall or floor safe (?) and that fact (?) was known to the assailant. Nevertheless, there is no indication that any secure storage device (a safe, etc.) was in Anne's home, and the only missing item is Anne's purse but, as yet, there is no report that she had the purse with her, only a presumption.
It seems reasonable that Anne's pet dogs were present when Anne returned home from the party.
My initial hypothesis is that this terrible act of violence was 'personal' and that robbery was not a motive. The nature of the injuries (as suggested by media reports) seems that murder was the intention of the attacker.
Perhaps Anne's computer (e-mail, etc.) will provide some clues.
This (collectively) seems like a crime of passion and not a random act of violence, indicating that Anne knows her assailant. This may not be of any help to law enforcement if Anne was attacked while she was sleeping and did not see her assailant.
My wish is for a speedy resolution of this atrocity and a full recovery for Anne who, hopefully, can assist by providing additional information.
There is nothing in any of this that suggests anything other thn the assailant was familiar with the dogs, Anne's home and with Anne personally
