Hello Rosco, thanks for replying so quickly.
It sounds very curious that LE did not interview neighbours perhaps they too alread have a suspect closer to home in mind too?
My question about similar crimes in the area should have included burgalaries too but in Terry & Darlene's case it just sounds too convenient, that someone knew there was a large amount of cash on the premises at the time and that within a few days the money would no longer be there.
If I can piece together from what the coroner thinks it would seem that someone was let into or forced their way into the house? Were their signs of forced entry?
Who is Larry Carpenter? Did the person who is now living in the house have a previous relationship or connection with Terry & Darlene? Be very careful about asking Larry Carpenter questions, if you suspect he knows something alert the detective in charge of the investigation rather than tackle him yourself.
Money issues and estrangements aren't unusual between family members but yes you would hope that people would pull together at a time like this. Could it be that Darlene's brothers are handling it their own way and staying contact with LE?
I thnk you're right about LE finding out who did this but in the meantime you should know that the people here at websleuths are a god lot and will weigh in and offer support and suggestions where possible.
Keep your chin up Rosco.
