That doesn't answer why they didn't answer calls from concerned family members or even answer the door when the girlfriend went to the house to find out where her boyfriend was. She literally trespassed on his property to find her boyfriend dead.
Very good points. Although if elderly enough (like my dad was), there can be hearing loss. It was really hard to rouse him by phone (he'd call me and then get frustrated and hang up, thinking it was a wrong number although I was shouting - absolutely refused any devices to help him out, and even downsized his hearing aids because they were squealing in his ears, blaming the devices rather than his volume control - it was impossible to truly explain how to use them to him, and he was a smart man - completely deaf at 80.
I don't know what the laws are in MO, but where I live (CA), it's not trespassing to go up to an unfenced back door unless signs are posted. In fact, we were told that signs alone were not enough and we had to have some kind of visible barrier - and that unless we gated off the driveway, which we have done, it would not be trespassing if someone walked up the driveway to our front door. We were told we either gated the driveway OR we put a little gate on the walkway with a No Trespassing sign. We were having issues with a trespasser. They were told not to set foot on our property again and we were told that we could not expect much help from LE unless we did the above.
It's legal for people to come to the front door, IOW (unless plainly signed) but I do wonder about the back yard (that's why I was asking about fencing). At any rate, if it were my boyfriend, I'd have trespassed and I doubt I'd prosecuted, since what I would have found is potentially criminal and certainly could be seen to be negligence - it's such a bigger deal to find three dead men in the backyard than to have decided to go into the backyard.
I can't imagine any DA would prosecute that woman.
IMO. ETA: she apparently removed the screen to a basement window and entered the house that way. Was the homeowner even there? It's very curious. Surely the homeowner had departed? She then must have gone through the house and then exited into the backyard area. I presume she found no one home.
That's quite odd, IMO.

(I still think she's unlikely to be prosecuted given the lack of response at the house and three dead people on the property...)
