''The Bernard Sherman Family Trust, of which Honey is a trustee, bought a property in Sunny Isles Beach, Fla., six years ago. The property was granted to the family trust for $10, according to a warranty deed from 2011.
A previous real estate listing for the unit, on the 34th floor of a 37-storey beachfront condominium, includes sprawling ocean views,
statues on the porch and floor-to-ceiling windows.''
''The property at 91 Old Forest Hill Rd. is desolate now, an empty 25,000-square-foot lot near Eglinton Ave. W. and Spadina Rd. where a house once stood. The plot of land was registered in Honey’s name in November 2016, and the old house had been demolished to make way for something new.''
''Outside, gardens would wrap around the house,
with spots designated for sculptures. An outdoor dining area included a barbecue station, trailing over to a concrete path, another sculpture and a high garden wall. Stepping stones would lead you to the driveway.''

''Kate's old police instincts naturally reemerge as she delves into the case. Soon, two other murders related to the New York art world occur, and Kate finds that the killer -- now known as "the Death Artist" -- is communicating with her, leaving clues such as Polaroids and jumbled pieces of artwork. Somehow, Jacques-Louis David's famous painting
The Death of Marat is at the heart of the murder spree, but how so?''

''CSI is caught in a race against time to catch a failed artist-turned serial killer who is leaving his victims in unusual poses all over Las Vegas.''
''It becomes clear that all victims, who have very little in common, must have been murdered in a gas-chamber, moved and staged like macabre artwork. Indeed a critic proves key to the case.''

A Parisian police clerk created scientific methods for capturing images of murder and mayhem.

''But on closer look, there is something unnerving about the tableau. The Venus is crooked. A spindle chair lies on its side. And a curious dark stain has pooled on the otherwise clean white linen sheets. One need only to turn the page of the album to solve the mystery, since the next photo captures the grislier sight on the floor behind the bed: the Madame’s dead body.
When the Paris police investigated Mme Debeinche’s May 1903 murder, they began by photographing the crime scene. And while that might seem mundane to anyone accustomed to TV police procedurals, documenting foul play was a relatively novel use of the camera in 1903. Her bedroom remains one the earliest recorded crime scenes, and the Madame herself has the unfortunate distinction of being one of the earliest murder victims preserved in a photograph.''
''A macabre genealogy stretches from Mme Debeinche to the reproductions of crime-scene photos that proliferate in true-crime documentaries and dramas today.
The very idea that a violent death was worth the gaze of the camera’s lens, its image valued enough to be preserved and archived, belongs to Bertillon. He still haunts the scene of every crime.

...the rope around the lady's wrist, and then leading to the sheep's neck is quite odd to have on the same floor as the crime.
If present during the Sherman's residency in the home, an even more abstract decoration of the home.
Could this been either coincidental, seen on the way in, or simply a metaphor for "don't be a sheep...?"
In earlier posts, i commented that the sheep with a rope around its neck, reminded me of a sheep being led to slaughter.
Wondering if anyone had recently visited the METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, read a book or watched a show that involved the 'artful' staging of murder victims.
speculation, fwiw, imo.
