Did anyone read somewhere that a neighbor also called the police? I thought I did, but I can't find the article. Just wondering the time the neighbor called, if that happened.
Here's a timeline based on this article (
http://www.commercial-news.com/news/more-details-revealed-in-lindsey-murder-case/article_5bc2171c-b702-11e4-be1b-bf515e255e47.html):
December 5-12 (5-6 weeks prior to Melinda's death) - Steven moved out of the home and in with his brother & sister in law.
January 16 around 2am - Steven fell asleep on Melinda's couch and she was sleeping in the bedroom.
sometime later - Steven "woke up to “like a strangle hold” which is described as a “rear choke” in which someone was behind him and lifted him off the couch....He said the next thing he remembered was a gun shot and he woke up in his baby's room with his hands tied behind his back. "
around 6:19 a.m. - Steven called 911 screaming. He told police someone had broken into his home and he had heard a gunshot. He then stated that they took his wife in a bedroom and he believed there was one suspect. He said he was in his baby's room and he did not know if anyone was still hurt or whether the suspect was still there (It's not clear what info was given in which phone call since there were 2 calls).
"After Melinda was taken away in ambulance, officers forced entry into the baby's bedroom and found Steven bent over at the waist with his hands zip-tied behind his back"
details from article that don't fit the story:
-"Police didn't find evidence of anyone being dragged across the floor, nor did they find any indication of a struggle in the room where Steven Lindsey was found. "
-"According to charging documents, police did not observe any marks or bruises on Lindsey's neck and Steven Lindsey said his neck wasn't in any pain after the incident."
Officers had to use force to get into the baby's bedroom... not sure what that means. Was the bedroom door locked? Was something holding the door closed on the other side? How did that happen?
There's no mention of how the officers got into the house. Was the door open? Unlocked? If Steven is tied down in the bedroom, how else could the officers had gotten in? They mentioned the need for force into the baby's bedroom, which is why I find this odd. Did Steven forget to lock the door before he fell asleep on the couch? But then again, people say this couple had dogs... I don't know of any dogs that would be quiet during all of this - especially if a stranger came into the home! But there is no mention of any dogs in the articles I've read, so not sure what to think about that.
It says no struggle was found in the room Steven was found in... was there evidence of a struggle in another room? Which brings us back to the dogs and why were they not barking during this struggle.
What are the odds that over a month after moving out, Steven happens to be at the house when Melinda is killed? Did he stay over frequently?
Just some of my thoughts/questions.
