I'm wondering what sort of Xmas GL's family will have with him absent. Will they be worried and unhappy, maybe anxious and scared - or even plain relieved?
I expect a better one than RH and CC's families will be having this year...I'm wondering what sort of Xmas GL's family will have with him absent. Will they be worried and unhappy, maybe anxious and scared - or even plain relieved?
I expect they will be busy working on their alibis.

That's a sad thought, I hope not, most probably not though. Certain people are experts at keeping certain kinds of secrets even from family, especially when that person knows what the cosequences will be as in "prison".I expect they will be busy working on their alibis.

I think I see what you mean - eg why burn the chairs if not for a reason? So the killer must have been sitting in one? Which means being convivial, having a drink or cuppa together. And then what? Either an unplanned argument, or a planned attack?Concerning my post this thread #438. There is a reason why the tent contents were burnt. Why put the chairs inside. Someone else had to be sitting in one of those chairs. Get rid of DNA. Gloves on or wiped the door handles of Russel's truck when personal items scattered inside (of his truck.) Scattered inside to throw LE off, perhaps. Make LE think the couple was looking for something inside it. I don't know about the rest of sleuthers here on this thread but I am getting more concerned that this was calculated, cold and RH & CC did suffer or were at least aware of something not being right if they were drugged. In my mind its pointing to that. MOO.
Unfortunately I don't think it was an argument it was an attack on poor unsuspecting Russell & Carol. The killer was taking advantage of the remoteness and the fact that it was getting dark because IIRC Russell had gotten off the hamm radio about 7:40PM or was it earlier. Regardless it was getting dark nad the killer thought that campers and people wouldn't be wondering around hiking now so they can get back to their camps. Also, other campers were kilometers away, according to LE. This was very bold IMO, I know the cattle rustler who spoke to reporters said that illegally killed deer carcasses were nearby RH/CC's campsite, but IMO that is a ruse to again to throw off LE. Or those deer carcasses could be from before RH/CC arrived. It was just an observation the cattle rustler made. Russel and Carol wouldn't start an argument with a stranger is the feeling I get from the couple's personalities. MOO.I think I see what you mean - eg why burn the chairs if not for a reason?

I think that case might be relevant to this: the perp was a pilot, he was in his late 40's, he'd never committed previous crimes. Apparently, he'd chosen to become a pilot because of the movie Top Gun. But it turned out, there wasn't that kind of excitement in his career, after all. JMO, but I think he began a secret life of acting out his fantasies because, a) he had reached the peak of his career and had satisfied all his material desires, but was bored, disappointed and lonely in his few relationships and b) he had so much success and social status, he believed he could get away with anything. He began small and took bigger and bigger risks.So true. Like the cable program last night about the Canadian colonel that was an underwear thief and eventually killed several women. Now THAT story was a bombshell.
It's not out of the realms of possibility that the family know absolutely nothing and the arrest has come as a total shock.
