In and around post #891 very early began discussion of what “the twist” implied including Leazenby’s actual words. Was it something unique or simply the fact Leazenby had never been involved in a double murder of two teens, one of the victims capturing images and audio of the killer?
Although it appears the video is no longer available, he was quoted as saying this -
“Sheriff Leazenby: This ones got a whole twist to it that even I as a 30 year veteran have never seen.”
The video hasn't been taken down. I agree that he may be referring to the fact that a murder victim has audio and visual of her killer, but this is only speculation.
Michael Stroup introduces himself to Sheriff Leazenby at the very beginning and @ 9:00 Leazenby says:
“This one’s just – it’s got a whole new – it’s got a twist to it that even I as a 30 year veteran have never seen.”
Prosecutor Ives said in the Scene of the Crime podcast (Episode 3):
“There is a lot of crime scene evidence. Some of it is somewhat odd. ... There is a lot of *unique facts there. Honestly, I’m shocked, and I promise you, police are shocked that it wasn’t solved in a day or two. The crime scene was physically strange, but that’s for the State Police to decide what to release."
* unique – the only one of its kind, unlike anything else.
I think it‘s quite possible that Ives may have been referring to the signatures.
Having audio and video were no doubt two of the things leading LE to believe that the case would be wrapped up quickly, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s something else, apart from DNA.
It's also possible that the “twist” was either something about the bodies or perhaps something found at the crime scene, but unfortunately, once again, all we can do is speculate.
