The signs, patterns, and evil aura residue left at the crime scene/s should be obvious to Sheriff Sills, imo. These clues, left in their wake, although not visibly obvious to many seasoned homicide investigators; 'love, rage, hatred, fear, evil'... because they can't be touched, seen, smelled, or heard..should easily reveal the true motive to Sheriff Sills; Retribution, imo
Seems that if a family member, friend, or neighbor/slight acquaintance, etc., of the Dermonds were involved. They would have known about their plans to attend the Kentucky Derby party<rsvp>, and would have likely been concerned that someone would have conducted a timely welfare check to see why they were no shows the night of the party..
The Dermond's home phone number was listed and their address easily obtained. A google map search of their private wooded cul-de-sac address would show the easy access from the lake, etc..
Imo, this heinous crime was carried out by professionally trained assassins, likely paramilitary. It seems obvious to me that the motive was not monetary, but was to send a very clear message, and to produce the intended results which we are witnessing now, seven months later..
