OMG ok, thank you. Well, *sigh* I'll just go back to my life because I can't handle the waiting.Certainly no named suspects. Could be tomorrow or in ten years before they have evidence for an arrest. MOO

I believe they were already dead, so kneeling or crouching isn't going to happen.
If one is kneeling, its almost impossible to 'lean back and put your legs out front'. You are either kneeling or you have leg mobility, not both/alternating.
If you try it, please let us know how it goes?

ARGGH. How can a journalist function without the ability to read and write in the past tense!
The news release did not state they currently have numerous persons of interest, right now. It said they have had (past and present over the course of the case) numerous persons of interest. We don't know how many persons of interest they have right now but days ago they said they had "a", ie one.
We see right there, plain as day, how KD is twisting the detective's words, it's like an automatic reflex.

You have a keen eye Satchie. KD did seem to twist the words on this news release by ignoring the grammatical tense of the message. It is so blatant that it surprises me because KD is not that stupid.
What I also find interesting is that Det. Sgt. Price is deemed as "backtracking" (the term used on various media articles in response to his statement) on the recent confirmation of two TPS spokespersons who confirmed that a person of interest has been identified but not arrested. (see below).
My understanding (all WS members) has always been that a POI only becomes a suspect when enough credible evidence points toward him, but the line between POI and suspect seems to be blurred in this case. Det. Sgt. Price attempts to make this point, but doesn't specifically address the key words that have blurred the line--an "identified" POI, who "hasn't been arrested" yet--words made by his spokespersons.
The official TPS confirmations from two spokespersons and Price's later clarification may be a case of trying to close the barn door after the cows got out, or a well thought out and planned police tactic. I can't fathom that a police spokesperson wouldn't be advised what to say to the press in a case of this magnitude, let alone two saying the same thing. jmo
Det. Sgt. Price:
"In fairness to the friends and family of Barry and Honey Sherman, I would like to offer a clarification".
( I can imagine that they were shocked to read that a POI was identified but not arrested.)
In the interest of protecting the integrity of this investigation, the Toronto Police Service Homicide Squad is not in a position to confirm if a suspect or suspects have been identified."
(This makes senses--so why would TPS spokespersons confirm that they had identified a POI who hasn't been arrested)

And I'm pretty sure that KD didn't pick his words out of the sky when he also reported same from Det. Yim, so that makes at least 3 TPS spokespersons who said same:RSBM

Yes, good examples and another, the privacy of a home also allows time for a killer to plant items or fictitious documents intended to misdirect the investigation and possibly incriminate innocent people.
Your example could be another reason the Coroner was awaiting toxicology results in order to complete the autopsy, prior to the official determination of targeted double homicide. Aside from Barry’s lifelong association to pharmaceuticals and in addition to prescribed medications, it’d be important to know what drugs were present in their bodies at the time of death.
And also time to search for a document that the killer(s) may not have wanted to be found, and removed it. imo.Yes, good examples and another, the privacy of a home also allows time for a killer to plant items or fictitious documents intended to misdirect the investigation and possibly incriminate innocent people.

Interesting. Do you have a link re the leak about the crime scene writings? Not doubting you, just want to read more. TIA.As it seems the murderer staged the bodies to appear as a M/S, I really do think it’s highly possible a confession, forged or typed, was fabricated to make it appear Barry admitted to the murder of his wife and possibly other sins before taking his own life, found at the crime scene. That would also explain the TPS leak early on from an officer who was aware of the writings.
Media report have declared no suicide note was found which is factually correct as Barry didn’t die by suicide nor did he write it. TPS would never disclose such a document exists because the fabrication would be vital evidence in a proving murder occurred.
I don’t know why I strongly believe this, other than it appears the killer went to great lengths to hide a double homicide. Suicide notes and/or confessions written prior to death are perceived to offer supportive detail and additional proof of the acts of the deceased.

We have (collectively) wondered what it was about the crimescene that made police automatically assume on day#1 that it was a M/S (at least it seems to be the general consensus that they believed that to be true).. we wondered if perhaps a suicide note had been left (that the public is not aware of), or some other evidence. The post about planting items has made me wonder if perhaps there was a bottle of some kind of medication found at the scene or in Barry's clothing that could have indicated the couple may have taken some pharmaceuticals prior to the 'event'. If police had found an indication of that at the scene, which could have been planted there by the killer(s), that would surely led to their thinking. As it turned out, weeks later I believe, they received a toxicology report stating there was nothing unusual in their systems, but they wouldn't have known that on day#1 at the scene. I wonder if the speculation of there possibly having been drugs ingested and then finding out there were none, even though perhaps there may have been indications at the scene, helped TPS form their determination of double homicide. I'm not sure how long those tox reports took. imo.
Given that Barry ran Apotex, which made drugs, the police mused that they would need to determine what kind of “medications and chemicals” Barry had access to, including in the small test lab he had in a small area between his own office and Jack Kay’s office. Police say they want to compare any drugs found there with toxicology results from the autopsy.
(As with many things in the police documents, it is clear what they are searching for but the police do not often report in a later document what, if anything, they found. Separately, the Star has reported that following the second set of autopsies organized by the Sherman family, no unusual or life threatening drugs were found in their bodies.)

And I'm pretty sure that KD didn't pick his words out of the sky when he also reported same from Det. Yim, so that makes at least 3 TPS spokespersons who said same:
“It could compromise the investigation if the perpetrator knew they were identified. It could precipitate flight, they could take steps to get rid of evidence, frustrate our investigation,” said homicide Det. Const. Dennis Yim, the only full-time investigator on the Sherman case.

Yes, I believe you have suspected the presence of a note all along. And that would certainly explain why police were thinking the way that they were on day#1 and seemed to pursue such an angle for awhile. I thought that idea had been ruled out, however I don't remember where exactly that info came from. Unless TPS said it, then nobody else should really be aware of it. TPS was not sharing their investigative results with media, nor withAs it seems the murderer staged the bodies to appear as a M/S, I really do think it’s highly possible a confession, forged or typed, was fabricated to make it appear Barry admitted to the murder of his wife and possibly other sins before taking his own life, found at the crime scene.

Yes, true.If the killers wanted to make it look like drugs were involved I think they could have just forced them to take some drugs before death, or put drugs into their mouths after death.
