With DG charged I am feeling many emotions and I can now understand why some pictures were the way they were. I would guess the family knew it was far worse from the get go and yet had to put on a brave face to keep the LE plan " moving forward". I wish them Godspeed with their healing.
I myself feel ANGER- at DG, at the previous court systems and appearances that didn't see the 'real DG' but instead a " troubled young man" which I think then caused them to have sympathy for DG and give him a lighter sentence. This man should have never been off LE's radar as far as I'm concerned.
To me DG has a reason for ever word & action he does. I would go so far as to say he likely uses his body language to suggest frailty when required, as in in front of a judge or intended victim. I would imagine he plants little seeds in the minds of ppl without them realizing he is doing it. I wonder if at some point he read up on or studied psychology or maybe has a parent or relative in the field. Or was treated as a teen and instead of coming away better he picked up some valuable pointers into expected behaviours etc. ( kids learn quick the response you want ) It seems like someone influenced him early on or maybe he made a mistake and realized himself that he needed to study up on body language , power of suggestion/ dropping little hints of frailty/ mental anguish and other ways of manipulating the game. He is cold , calculating and smart - combine that with his warped values, sociopathic behaviours and you have a premeditated murder plan carefully thought out.
I guess that he planned this for months. How he would do it, when etc. He picked that night likely for two reasons. One, he had heard somehow they were planning to leave and knew that if they just disappeared that night many would think they just ran off.
Two, it was a busy time in Calgary and fireworks make a great noise cover. Whether for gunshots or scuffles.
I think his plan started to go wrong when he realized the little boy was in the home. He hadn't planned on that one part. Perhaps one of the adult victims put up that extra bit of fight in an attempt to save their grandson or the realization that he now had a third person to deal with/dispose of threw a wrench in his plan. I would almost think he planned on killing them with some means that didn't involve violence/ blood- that way he could just remove the bodies and destroy them later. But instead, maybe a struggle broke out and he had to change his method of killing at least one of them and therefore the blood. That is the one factor I don't think he was prepared to have at the crime scene because he wanted it to look like the had just left. That blood threw the carefully thought out plan off and he had to clean up and extra efforts he hadn't counted on. Hosing down the walkway took time. He may have used bleach but the blood still showed.
I can imagine him driving banging on the steering wheel and cursing because of the blood. How it wasn't in the plan ! Of course this is all my speculation from reading every post, almost every news story and looking into every online record / trace of him. I think the plan was to disintegrate the bodies either in chemicals or in a combination of chemicals and one of the ponds on the property. He could then say if questioned , that the pond had a bloom or algae or something that he was treating if questioned about the heavy chemical presence in a pond. As he worked in a similar area of chemicals at one time and it being a farm no one would likely think twice. ( Sadly I believe that is likely just what he did with them too
I hope this monster doesn't find an easily fooled judge this time.
