That's a good point, but again if you have a strong alibi accompanied with DNA to clear your name, it seems worth the "risk" if your and your family's reputations are being dragged through the mud.
Journalists never name their sources, as they are protected under the 1st amendment known as the Source Protection or Journalist Privilege: “It prohibits authorities, including the courts, from compelling a journalist to reveal the identity of an anonymous source for a story.”
I'm not sure if you meant to finish a thought here, but I agree with the sentiment. What does that even mean if the victims were all asleep or in bed or on different floors? It's not like they were all fighting the perp in the same room, unless that is what actually happened (which would be a major twist... and maybe unlikely given other information from family members and coroner about location of bodies). But yea I thought the sister's comment on that was odd
I didn't think she had a funeral to get her ready for. I thought she was cremated. JMO
I wasn't positive on this so I looked it up.
And never went in any of the rooms or got blood on it? Maybe. Seems unlikely given the amount of blood that likely was seeping under doorways as well, even if closed. Because the statement said LE had no reason to believe that the dog went into the rooms after the murders after as well, I believe
My husband and I moved a lot when we were younger (chasing the money) and were renters. I always felt safer in an apartment rather than a house. I think it was because, even though there's a lot of people around apartment complexes, there are fewer ways to break into an apartment, especially on the upper floors.
M&K were cremated. A family member of mine was cremated, and we got a call from the funeral home asking if we wanted to come in and see our loved one before releasing for cremation. I thought it was the weirdest question, considering we had a funeral and had all said our goodbyes earlier in the day.
Would it be common to share that information with her family?
He received her body, next of kin.
Ok, I see that you are right. I only had a summary of 23andme's T&C. I found a more comprehensive version and it does: explicitly a)forbid law enforcement from using the service for investigative purposes and b)require that any sample submitted be from the submitter or someone for whom they are a legal guardian.
Hi
yes, it’s me. As I previously stated, his first murders in Gainesville were what reminded me of this particular case because he didn’t know these poor kids at all and broke in while they were sleeping in different areas of the apartment, used duct tape to silence them, used a Ka-Bar knife to murder them, etc…

I wish I knew how to do that so well.
My father's wishes were to be cremated. I was POA and executrix of his will and handled all the arrangements. A few immediate family members went with me to the funeral home to make arrangements. After making all the arrangements we were asked if we wished to see him, which we did. We were given privacy while doing so. There was probably a similar process for the families of these victims that were cremated.
BBM: In my opinion, it's the other way around -- the family is telling it to the press because LE isn't relaying all (or any) info to them.
Agreed. And he did NOT, as media keeps saying ‘walk off into the same direction”as them. They clearly go immediate left, and he walks all the way to the corner and turns right.
