Murphy the Dog. Surviving Housemates. What LE 'Knows'.
This part is odd too. Was the dog in a crate? ....And if it was crated by the victims before they went to bed or something, wouldn't that be something the surviving roommates could confirmed ("we put the dog in the crate every night. or the spare room") or something like that. Just weird to me they don't know more about this, but not sure that it's really relevant..?
Snipped for focus.
@nightowl Interesting post, thanks.
But the comment ASSUMES
1. Surviving Housemates did not tell LE of either:
---- what was done w dog that specific night, that is, if SurHou(s) actually observed what happened, or
---- the usual pre-sleep habits of owner & dog (and altho a habit is a habit, is it followed 100% of the time?)
2. If SurHou told LE either of the above, that LE would have publicly released specifics about the dog that night.
3. LE is not aware of where dog was that night.
I tend to hold off making assumptions like these, even assumptions that LE would make public stmts, seemingly innocuous ones like this. jmo, moo, imo. Stress on seemingly.
ETA: IDK. May in fact be totally irrelevant to any aspect of the investigation. maybe irrelevant to either prosecution or defense at trial. But ATM, I doubt if LE knows if it's somehow relevant, so I'd expect it would not be disclosed. Could be wrong.
