something over the head would prevent blood splatter somewhat..............what a horrible death. I sure hope they find the perp

I dont know if it was ever determined by Sills sure that he was dragged inside from outside , I remember here it was discussed alot, , I remember there was a few feet of drag marks mentioned in an earlier article also that he could have just been moved or turned for better positioning, gross but wouldnt someone need to be on their back..........but bludgeoned could mean ONE HIT in the head that killed him couldnt' it? There was nothing to determine how bad he was hit or bludgeoned, then each article quote of sills flip flops, so IDK, ..............BUT yes the FBI was called due to the fact that SD was missing and mpossibly kidnapped, she was in green county when found? lived in putnam.............and IIRC, it was reported there was very little blood spatter in teh garage, and becasue so, determined he was beheaded after he was killed...........but if there was a gunshot to the head, there would be a blood splatter high and low and all over the cars etc if it happened in garage, why I think one hit to the head might not create spatter.....also, dont recall if there was any blood found outside, i dont think it could all be washed away could it? Would lumlnol detect it outside even after it was rinsed of obvious blood? Did Investigator do a luminol test inside and out?
guy33 post had me question some things
Sills said an autopsy performed on Russell Dermond concluded he died from cranial cerebral trauma
You ask a lot of good questions and I don't have any answers. There was so much we talked about in the beginning but not much info was released. I don't remember what was verified and what was not.
How can an autopsy determine anything without the head? Could the actual decapitation be the trauma?
He was killed sometime between Friday and Saturday afternoon and wasn't found until Tuesday. I don't remember if it had rained in between those times. Would that have made a difference in finding a death site or any blood if it had been washed away with a garden hose three or four days earlier? I don't remember if they even used luminol, or a search or cadaver dog?
He was supposedly seen Friday walking on the golf course which was near their house. The Friday paper was on the table and the crossword puzzle was being worked on. Was it worked on Friday or Saturday? Wan't she dressed and he was still in pjs and a robe?
According to this link, the mail from Saturday was still in the box. How did they know it was Saturday's mail and not from Friday, Monday or Tuesday?
Sorry I'm rambling but rereading this article did it to me.

Wonder if they saw any foot prints? it would be hard to not leave foot prints in the yard and even harder to cover them up. The reason I wonder is this might give them an idea as to how many were there, their entry and exit points etc. This could also tell them about the killer like his possible height and weight. Almost 3 years have passed and no real leads that we are aware of. The type of murder this was and no media (show ) has talked about it in well over a year.
Sills stepped out of the Suburban and stuck a Glock 18C in his waistband. He went in the house through the kitchen door, the same door the neighbor entered. Then he headed for an open door that led to a cramped two-car garage. The garage was dimly lit, but the white walls helped Sills see. On the floor between a Lincoln Town Car and a Lexus SUV was a man’s body on its back. The man’s age was hard to guess—because the body had no head. It had been cut off. And it was gone.
What blood there was—a considerable amount—had pooled and dried near the body.
We had already assumed it was a small garage for two cars and there wouldn't be much room in between the two cars to behead someone. But, for some reason I had always been thinking that the garage door was open when his body was discovered, but this sounds like it was closed when SS got there since it was dimly lit in the daytime.
I don't remember now how long it takes the blood to 'gel' so that bleeding stops. Immediately after death, there would definitely be blood from a beheading. Simply because blood pools, so the open veins, and arteries from the missing head would allow the blood to seep out.
Now if a person was alive, with a beating heart, the blood would spurt out with each beat of the heart.
There are closed head injuries which would kill someone. With the head missing, and not seeing the crime scene, I don't know. I thought I remember there being blood splatter, but it's been so long that I've forgotten what few facts I did know.![]()
Him between the cars, then I can see why it's believed the body was moved. Otherwise there should have been dented areas on at least one if not both vehicles, as well as blood splatter on both. I don't remember reading about any damage to either car though.
(snipped by me) Maybe they trust LE is doing everything possible. Maybe they are just quiet private people. Not everyone wants to go interveiws or talk on tv. Maybe their health is poor. There could be many reasons...the family sure is laying low still, that's weird to me
