So, I've been trying to read through all these threads and posts for the past couple of days. Many links are not active anymore to various websites and articles. I've only gotten through part of the second thread about the 3mw. I might have missed vital information here but if I did please forgive me. There is just so much going on in these threads.
One thing that has me thinking. As a single mom of an adult daughter.
If my daughter was going out and had a change of plans, even if she called me beforehand, she always came in to let me know that she was home. Especially if I was in my bedroom and heard someone come into the house. She would not go change and wash her face and then come in. That's why I have a hard time thinking that they arrived home while mom was being held up in her room, washed their faces and then stumbled on the crime in progress.
Another thing I wondered is if Sherrill usually kept money in her purse. If her son had a known drug or addiction problem, she may not have been in the practice of keeping money in her purse at all. (At least maybe to his knowledge). That still doesn't explain the purse in Suzie's bedroom logically.
Having known how some addicts and people that know them operate somewhat, I wanted to give you my theory. (note: this may have all been something that could have been disproved in prior threads).
Say mom is in the bedroom and someone knocks at the door after the girls came in and were getting ready for bed. Suzie, peeks out the blinds in her room and says to Stacy, "Crap, it's my creepy brother, what the heck is he doing here this time of night?" Suzie calls out to mom "hey, Barrt is out at the front door". Mom comes out of the bedroom and picks up her purse sitting in out in the room and hands it to Suzie. "Here, I have your graduation money (my paycheck money, our trip money, *whatever the cash was meant for.) in here. Go put it in your room. I don't want it setting out while he is here". Sherill opens the door and lets him in. He proceeds to talk with his mother and Suzie peeps in her bedroom door and tells Stacy, " just go on and get ready for bed, he probably just wants some money or something." I could see him arguing with his mother and possibly hitting her or somehow incapacitating her. Maybe he had a weapon but I really feel that the light got broken as someone was being carried outside. He knows there is someone else in the house because Suzie was talking to someone. How far was her bedroom from the front room? I read that her room was a converted garage so the doorway to the room might have been in sight to know she spoke to someone. At this point, knowing that he injured someone, he knew that he was sure to be identified by all the occupants in the house. He could have then ordered the girls out to a waiting vehicle (possibly a partner addict looking to score some cash? Maybe someone he owed money to?) and hit the light on way out carrying Sherrill. Not many fingerprints to find if things happened like this. He also may have known that Sherrill was in the habit of hiding cash in the house and tossed the shoes about looking for it. Bartt and partner do who knows what with the bodies and head back to whatever rock they crawl out from. The tipster on AMW may have been the partner who had parted ways with Bartt after this. Maybe he thought briefly of getting back at Bartt for something but then thought it through a second longer and realized how deep he was in the mess as well. Just my theory on what I could see happening. If this doesn't jive with some facts that I missed, I do apologize. I just wanted to post it while it was still fresh in my mind..:twocents:
