Ok we know there was a slight skirmish due to the fact that RD had a few bruises on his distal forearms and a cut on his finger and bruised hands (IIRC) and a V shaped cut on middle finger nail. RD also had what appears to be SD hair in his hand (SD autopsy also says brown/blonde i think it was hair dye) and all this info is from the autopsy report
At any rate, according to reports, the blood was smeared all over with towels and tucked under RD to prevent further blood flowing under the door
The beheading was NOT intended.........Im no expert but I dont see bullets lodging at close range, arent they powerful!? even with skull bone? IDK...I cant get past it but Im sure it happens, Im thinking at some distance maybe.....I dont see that as a reason to behead him, they could have easily just hauled him off too
I can see a cord around the throat would prevent him from getting to SD more than a gun or knife would prevent him from trying and him BITING the PERP during strangulation, maybe almost decapitating him... now that blood in his mouth is very daming evidence you cannot leave behind....
SO THEN, you wonder, What was the plan to murder him and how? She apparently was bludgeoned with something that left a V mark so that could be a hammer end or a pry bar with nail puller end
Were they going to bludgeon him too? If they did then there was no need to take his head
As steleheart pointed out, the hammer or pry tool was their MO apparently.
But due to the towel and cleaning up it tells me it was not the plan, and all that trying to control the blood was after effects of something gone wrong
I just cant figure out what the coloring marks on the front of the throat 2" and then separate.. another one on his left side of neck 1 or 2" mark just under and along the cut......and the left shoulder mark same, all yellow/green in color
Were those marks from a cord and a fist of the perp putting pressure on the left shoulder?
Mainly this post was to say that I dont thnk the beheading was intentional, after they beheaded him to hide evidence, they struggled to mop it up a little and then they COULD NOT haul him off with all that blood everywhere
I JUST WONDER how the heck did they NOT step in it?!? and leave footprints or a toe print or SOMETHING?
ANd then there is a RED cement block weighing 30 lbs, 2 of them
WHO carries a hammer or pry bar tool and RED cinder blocks?
Sorry, didnt mean to be so uncharacteristically longwinded...HAHA
