Remember Duncan’s attack on SG’s family? I’d guess much the same way. (He threatened the children to get one adult to tie the others up. Then he killed the two adults and the teenager, and kidnapped the two children—8 and 9, I believe.)
It’d be easier for CM, since he was someone they knew, who was familiar with their house. There’d be no sense of danger until the attack began.
All IMO, of course.[/QUOTE.
Yes and if he first attacked JM (which I'm certain he did), then went upstairs and attacked SM, while she was bathing the kids, it wouldn't be all that difficult. He was much taller and stronger than all of them. Having spent so much time at their house, he knew exactly how to do what he did. Especially since I personally believe, that he played the scene over and over and over again, in his head. He had a TREMENDOUS amount of hatred and disdain for that family. Probably had the graves already dug and just drove up to Santa Clarita on the 5th, to dispose of their wallets, SM's glasses and other items.
