If you take the case back down to the basics, what's so puzzling to me is that the perpetrator chose to move three victims-- including one who is 6' and 200 lbs.-- another who is a young child--and one of the three in medical distress. Even with a gun, doesn't it make it difficult to subdue three people while driving? And if he tied them up so that they couldn't move/ escape, wouldn't AL be difficult to carry? Wouldn't the person in medical distress potentially create a lot of issues for him?
What's the likelihood that there were several perpetrators?
What's the likelihood that this kidnapping/ crime was not premeditated but an argument gone awry?
Also, the perpetrator(s) made the risky decision to remove the victims from the scene, which spread evidence and the chance to get caught across a bigger area. There has to be a reason he chose to kidnap them all--that is unless the struggle was between the grandparents and there is no outside perpetrator-- just someone helping to destroy evidence.
When I try to walk through what happened, leaving the current suspect out of the equation, I always come back to the logistics of what it would take to move and hide three victims. That's a tall order.

I somehow feel that the violence that took place in the home was not premeditated but rather the result of a nasty dispute that escalated. We do not know anything about the weapon used to cause the 'medical distress'; stabbing, blunt force trauma? I'm wondering if the weapon was seized from the home. If the three family members were forced from the home, I'm wondering if the perp used a gun as a threat. It would be interesting to know whether any weapons were seized during the search of the Garland property? I must say, however, that reading the recent news of the AL bankrupt company I wonder if this contributed to the Sunday night happenings. There seem to be a number of possibilities. Something just doesn't add up! It's all mind boggling, to say the least.
