Hi - I'm new to the forums - but have been following this case since I live in Grosse Pointe Park. A couple of thoughts regarding this case. People have mentioned the potential connection to his rental properties and krowdkat says he's a slum lord. You can look up the properties he owns from this website (
http://www.waynecountylandrecords.com/ ) by putting his name in to the search engine. The few that come up in his name are within 3-4 miles of his house, you can street google the addresses to look at them. Not sure what the connection may be with his rentals - but there may be one. (Krowdkat - any elaboration on what 'weird' means? I know people that knew his wife, but my acquaintances don't seem to know the husband.)
Also mentioned was the fact the Detroit & GPP police are both working on the case and that was to GPP advantage to have Detroit police helping. I actually had the opposite reaction - thinking I was happy GPP police were working on the case. We haven't had a murder here since 1992. Our crime is very low and what crimes we do have - burglaries and thefts from cars being the majority - are generally solved very quickly. I believe our police force is very competent and will solve this. Detroit police have an abysmal 50% solve rate for homicides. I'll take our police force any day.
Everyone in the community was in an uproar and terrified when we first heard about the murder. I think the police chief has named Bob B. a person of interest to calm everyone's fears that a crazy person is not running around murdering Grosse Pointe housewives. I think they know more then they are saying and IMHO they are waiting until after the funeral out of respect for her children and the many friends she had until they arrest him. Since he's not about to leave town I think they are just biding their time.
Regarding how he got home if he was the killer - I googled the distance and route from his house to the murder scene and although walking would be a stretch it occurred to me biking would be a possibility. It would be a 45 minute bike ride and a bike would fit easily into the back of the SUV.
Sorry for the long post and thanks for all the insightful info and links.
