Does he? Do we know that for sure? We know one of Steven's relatives has her, but do we know for sure that it's not one of his parents, or a different sibling from the one he called moments after the murder?
I don't think that's been confirmed.
Labs are know to be friendly to people. I had one that looked scary as hell, but he was a big puppy. My mixed breed mutt we adopted from the shelter however would rip your arm off if you got too close. We would have to crate her when company came over. Once she got to know you she was cool, but that dog would raise hell if anyone other than my husband or I pulled up in the driveway, let alone try to get in.
Do you think it's possible the police put cowboy on the garage to keep him from biting them? I always wonder what LE does to pets, especially dogs who are at a crime scene. It would make sense to confine them to keep the dogs from running all over the place and possibly destroying evidence...
I think that article must be wrong. Even assuming the ambulance arrived at the same time as the cops, which is by no means certain, of course the cops didn't wait for Melinda to be loaded onto a stretcher and taken away before they dealt with anyone else in the house. That just doesn't make any sense. And if they found Melinda and called an ambulance, what were they doing while they waited for the ambulance to arrive? Anyway, one of the first articles mentioned that the police report stated that Steven never asked to see his wife. Why would he ask, if the ambulance had already left, sirens blazing? Maybe one of the LE people on this site can provide some insight, but to me it looks like there was simply some sloppy reporting going on.
