That's a very well thought-out post, and I can see your points. (At first I thought Martha Stewart was a bit too much, of a know-it-all, I guess, but came to like her a lot because she gave a lot, we could all learn.) Usually we "get over it" instead of becoming murderers.
We have lots of wealthy people and "stars" in this country, but they're not as lacking in common sense, not only about security, but don't you think even their choice of a housekeeper (sounds like the house was still a horrible mess) and choice of friends as if they were desperate for friends. We would normally say it's none of our business, if the child hadn't been murdered, so, we all know there's sicko people out there, murders happening all the time, no provocation.
I'm still searching my books for the early dawn runner , and found another murder case, amazingly similar.
Carleton Smith's book, Death of a Little Princess, paperback, story told by FBI's Robert Ressler. Pg 217, Nehemiah, but "I need help" looking up things, hard on my eyes.
In Chicago in the 1940's, a Wm. Heirens went up a ladder and through a bedroom window to strangle a little 6-yr old girl. The parents were in the next room, heard something and called out, "Are you all right?" But went back to sleep when there was no answer. Then, get this, he wrapped her body in a blanket, took her down the ladder, sexually assaulted and then dismembered her body. "AND THEN HE GOT THIS PANG OF CONSCIENCE" And wrote a ransom note for $2000, climbed back up and threw it through the window onto the floor. He must have researched that there were no dogs to bark in the neighborhood.
I don't get it, how writing a ransom note for a very small sum would ease his conscience any? Does that sentence make sense?
I'm sure there's lots more on the web about that case and his psychopathy. Then there's "disorganized" killers and "organized", premediater ones and those that want to conceal the body as long as possible and others that want them found.
Mainly I guess I'm saying that just the fact there was a hate propagandist apparently dispatched by someone to Charlevoix to hurt the R's, which fact gets overlooked a lot, and also that some "distrubed" man called Access Graphics threatening to kill them all if they took John back, proves the family didn't do this murder, or anything to deserve it. Some of us have been victims of such jealousy, and there's such a thing as "Conspiracy Not to Hire" at least in my state, must happen a lot.
Plus, there's the holy predictions about sociopath Lucifer's insurrection, traitors, their words going to be turned back on them, plus they'll be killed and he'll not even have a proper grave because he destroyed his own nation, in the tech age. He has such guilts, that he goes around in religion circles telling that Christians have guilts, probably always manages to frame someone when he pulls off something like this. It may have been a pretty big operation, judging from the Charlevoix thing and not letting John have his job back. I don't know enough about communism to know if this is typical of their beliefs in 1917. This someone "walking in the way of Cain" probably called John an overachiever, proud, etc., too cowardly to pick on someone his own size so he had a child killed to ruin the father's life.
Probably tried to make it all sound religiously okay. Father Rol pointed out a couple of Psalms. Very strange case.
