Based on that article, you’re completely right. That’s what KD reported. The neighbours took notes and KD reported what they told him.
But later Greenspan told him that he had viewed the cctv footage and it’s unclear whether he entered or not. The video is too grainy. So KD now isn’t 100% sure the Thursday visitor entered or not.
I think it’s an officer, a neighbour who saw the WM on their cctv footage from the night before, or an alarm security employee, imo.
ETA: Quote from 2021 article:
“The Star was particularly interested in this 911 test because several years ago, at the urging of one of the Sherman children, the Star looked into a report that a 911 call may have been made from the Sherman home at the time of the murders, perhaps by Barry or Honey summoning help. Here is what we found: At 9:30 a.m. on the Thursday — the morning after the Shermans were murdered but while their bodies had not been discovered — a neighbour a few doors away had a knock on her door from a Toronto police officer who said he was checking out a report of a
911 call on the street. The woman had not made a call.
At close to the same time, the camera of a home across from the Shermans caught the fuzzy image of a man in a sedan pulling up to the Sherman home, parking on the street, and going back and forth to the Sherman front door over a period of about 30 minutes.
No explanation has ever been provided by Toronto police of either of these activities. Then chief Mark Saunders said police “know” who the man at the Sherman door was, but said nothing further. The Star has asked if that person was a plainclothes police officer checking on a 911 call. Police said they could not respond because it was all “part of the investigation.”
By the summer of 2018, police had prepared a highly detailed analysis tracking the movements of the person, by then a possible suspect in the case.
