Okay from the beginning.....the friends found his body in the garage decapitated, the back BACK DOOR was the way the friends entered the home when no one came to the door.......they awaited the police on the FRONT PORCH when they exited the home to wait for them, this is where SS found them when he arrived
Mr D was in his boxers I believe and slippers and robe, can't rmember, white t shirt? Shirley was no where to be found, her wallet and purse was on counter, their meds that had been recently filled on Thursday prior to Derby party on Saturday, was on the counter, it appeared as if they'd just risen to receive their first cup of coffee.......a lamp shade by a chair was tilted, the only thing that was out of place in the home, it was immaculate clean and net, like a showplace
Saturdays puzzle in the edition of USA today which comes on friday had been worked or started
Their bed was still unmade
GW security cameras were not working, neighbors home cams captured nothing, the D's security system had been turned off, reset or soemthing recently before the murders
The daughter had visted the week of easter, prior to easter sunday, preacher confirmed it was daughter seen at church with D's on easter sunday with her children.....school aged or college aged children, not sure,, this was, i forget exactly, 10-14 days before the murder and disappearance of the D's
My thoughts were that since she was the early riser and, he would lounge in his robe if there was nothing on his schedule for the day or early in the day so I suspect she was the one who saw them first however that occurred, he heard a noise or commotion and came to the living room/kitchen to investigate.....
what puzzles me is the back door upstairs deck leads ot the kitchen was the door that was problaby the entrance for perps, why did they go to that door? Was she on the deck having coffee and the door was already unlocked, they came up the walk from the lake? I dont suspect they parked in the driveway and came around thru the screen porch to the back deck or even around the side of the house and up the stairs....WHY that door?
The garage was likely shut since it was early in the day or morning as it appeared by the circumstances in the home when body was discovered, how did he get into the garage? why was he placed in the garage? WHy was she hauled away? Why was he beheded? Why hidden in the garage? Why was his body moved 12-16 inches AFTER he was beheaded and why was his torso pointing east as these 2 clues seem to point to some religious killing as well.....the fact nothing was taken from scene and liens were paid off by a son after their death, points to a money situation
Did SS go back far enough in their financial records to even begin to find a clue?or the kids financnes?
Somethingis missing, there is a clue, my stomach churned when i heard about islamic killings and how they point the body easterly and they take nothing from the home, leave no forensics in their wake, but WHY THE D's? Was he involvd with witnessing to someone of Islamic faith? Did kids need money? Did he piss someone off?
What are we MISSING?
Could it be that Mrs Dermond let the killers in and she was killed 1st and Mr D tried to escape , they killed him and dragged him back to behead him ? Do we know if both were up before the killers arrived? I remember hearing Mr D was wearing his robe but he could have put his robe on when he heard a commotion. This is why I think we need to go back from the beginning with all we know now. Puzzles get easier with each piece
