MOO
I owned a home with a sliding glass door going out to the back deck of my home. I would grill out there and every day, even in the winter I would go sit on the deck to relax and enjoy the wildlife. (unless it was below 20 degrees lol).
Well since I used the sliding doors so frequently, the handle that was metal with a wooden handle top, became loose after years of opening and closing. Towards the end, it became harder to push the door all the way closed to ensure the latch would lock. I finally had to have a contractor replace the handle to the door.
So with that said, is it possible that due to the frequent use of that sliding door, the same thing happened to that house and they just said forget about it we do not need to lock it or fix it right now?
I understand that a lock was fixed in either Xana's bedroom or the front door according to
this article.
With so many people coming and going, surely some guests knew that the sliding door did not lock (moo).
Also, MOO, there is no way that the killer did not know that there were 3 stories in that home, I find it hard to fathom that anyone would only see the back way with a drop off behind the home and no street that you can go down that leads to the back. (I am horrible with describing what I am thinking sorry but I hope I am making sense).
Even if someone was never in the home before, how could anyone miss the fact that there are 3 stories? I doubt that the killer(s) only ever saw the back of the home only.
My thoughts and my opinions only.
