Asking for DNA samples on a voluntary basis was for eliminating purposes. IMO, LE is not protecting any potential suspect, rather they want to leave no stone unturned.....because...if someone close is responsible, the children want there to be absolutely no doubts & ALL possibilities were eliminated.
 
I understand that children have been told who LE believes is responsible. Because the charges are going to destroy and bring even more pain than they are already going through. Want the evidence to show there is NO WAY it was a stranger and that EVERY person & possible scenario was looked at and eliminated based on evidence.
 
The relationship between D & K as well as D & K's children was strained. This was only known to a few.
DNA.....of course D & K's DNA would be in the house.
The blow to the head was extremely brutal. Although her head was bandaged, there had to have been some blood spatter.
I do know that at least one of the TV stations in RAL were also hearing that (1) D was being looked at strongly as a person of interest & (2)possibly charged.

Ruben- Are you saying that coming soon, D was strongly being looked at as a person of interest and possibly charged, or was this back a couple of weeks ago? I had heard about 2 weeks ago that an announcement was coming down from the PD about an arrest (heard this from someone close to the family) but then nothing came. Is this a new development?
 
Just saw your above post, Ruben, after I just posted my last response. Wow. So, LE thinks they have it all figured out, and have been very prudient in crossing all their T's and dotting all their I's to make sure that there is no mistaking what they think happened that night to KT. So, they knew what they were doing all along and kept it quiet so as not to compromise any info before an arrest was made. From what I think you are saying, it is going to be even more devastating to the family than this has already been. God Bless them.
 
Thank you so much, Ruben 321, for your posts...they are both insightful and valuable. I appreciate your sharing this info with us. As you explain the situation, LE's activities certainly make a great deal of sense.
 
LE have not changed who they believe is responsible. Because of how difficult it is for children to hear who LE believes did this, LE wants to be able say.....we investigated every possiblity (1) "random" killer theory, (2) "break in" theory, (3) "sexual assault" theory, (4) "K fell & hit her head" theory, (5) "surgery complication" theory,
(6) "neighbor" killer theory & got DNA samples, (7) handed out fliers........and after all this, the EVIDENCE proves that the person we suspected all along is repsonsible.

IMO
 
Her children have been told? How very sad. I'm thinking of the son who is a senior at UNC and comparing him to my son who is a junior there. I really cannot imagine how the children are dealing with this.

I think you've captured it all very well. I agree 100%.

How do you know LE believes they know who is responsible?
Has D lawyered up?
If not, I assume she has submitted to countless hours of interrogation?

The cops are answering to Colin Willoughby, not the children.
I would be shocked if they even hinted to the family that D is their suspect.
Why would they?

Don't forget, the DA and his wife were very personal friends of KT...Just sayin'...
 
IMO

didn't realize I said LE answers to the children.

I just gathered from this post you think her children have 'pull' in deciding where the investigation goes. I know you did not mean the cops answer to the kids.
I guess i misunderstood your post.


"if someone close is responsible, the children want there to be absolutely no doubts & ALL possibilities were eliminated."
 
isn't this a forum for....IMO thoughts & theories and exploring each others thoughts & theories?

In any murder case.....If there's a possibility someone close to the victim was responsible I can only imagine that the family would have a difficult time accepting it and would want ALL other possibilities investigated before their already devastated lives gets hit with more pain if proven someone close killed their mom.
 
I would imagine the cops have talked to various family members (including the children) about D & K's relationship, any potential enemies, thoughts on JG, and a whole host of other matters. It would not surprise me if somewhere along the way someone said something to the cops about being absolutely sure about the conclusion - sister or not. If the sister is being questioned so much surely the children are aware of that (maybe through family conversations, not the cops). That could have started a conversation with the cops.
 
But, as per the discussion above, if an arrest is coming soon, I believe Ruben may be correct in that it is not uncommon that police forces to let families know who they will be arresting before the let the general public know....especially if it is a close family member. That is not to say that anyone in the family has any special "pull" with anyone- I think they do it as a common courtesy so as not to shock the family and give them the respect and time they need to digest the information before the barage of public scrutiny comes down on their family, IMO.

You're right.
I'm sure they want whoever did this brought to justice and them to be found guilty.
I would think LE would have a hard time telling the murder victims children.....a friend or relative killed your mother........and IMO that's why it seems LE is unsure of what happened(i.e. fliers, neighbors DNA).
Maybe......D was questioned serveral times and the children asked why do you keep questioning D? She's was her sister....she wouldn't have hurt her. Did you look at the neighbors or the other break in?
Soooo......because the family is known & friends of many......LE wants to be able to say....YES, we investigated EVERY possibility.
