Regarding similar cases, this slaying actually reminds me more of the Dr. Sam Sheppard murder case than any other. The major difference is that, in the Percy case I'm almost certain that there really was an intruder.
Indeed, and it's rather astonishing that hasn't been pointed out more often considering the TV version of the Fugitive was still on when it happened and was very well known. I'm certain none of the Percys were involved. Yet more documented evidence surfaced this year that CP called CPD no more than 20 minutes after the murder. Perhaps the best detective out of the city at the time is convinced the story is true, but as such he's convinced it was someone who knew her.
The guy dropped one of his gloves on the lawn, and pitched his weapon in the lake. I understand, as he fled the home under the wail of the Percy's ear piercing burglar alarm's siren, he knew cops would be on the way soon and he didn't want to be seen with the weapon or picked up with it but it was still pitch dark out. There's no telling for sure but his dropping this and pitching that indicates to me he was not a pro burglar or experienced rapist but some guy who killed her out of jealousy, and was in pure panic mode.
