I agree with you for the most part and my question was somewhat rhetorical. However, I've personal experience with traumatic death/violence on more than one occasion (in fact, as recently as 3 weeks ago following a shooting at the yoga studio where practice) as well as focused study of violence and trauma at a doctoral level. People do react differently, but it is unusual - even amid the shock and chaos - for people to not reach out to family/close friends in the hours if not minutes after tragedy. More to the point, if I'm not mistaken, first responders are trained to (try to) keep victims calm and aid them in thinking who to contact (family/close friends). Perhaps there are some on the forum who could comment?
All that said - I don't know that PC and his immediately family didn't reach out to family - the post I was responding to assumes they didn't (and thus, my somewhat casual response).
And the fire at his house was not extensive, and it was put down quickly. It was the fire at the deceased brother's house that was very damaging, started at 12:30pm and firefighters worked into the evening to extinguish it. Then it was too hot for investigators to enter until later.
My current "take" is that PC set fire to his bro's home and his own, both timed, to provide himself with what he hoped would be an airtight alibi in their murders. I speculate that PC knew he would be a prime suspect in their deaths so came up with this plan. Regardless, he must have been very sloppy in order for LE to have found enough right off the bat to arrest him for his own home arson.
Has it been determined that the fire at Keith's started at 12:30....or is that when the fire was noticed and reported?
Exactly! Remember the Richmond Hill explosion in Indianapolis- the perps set the explosion in motion and were long gone when it actually happened.
My thoughts exactly
Generally in the U.K. it’s said that those who need to tell you the price of something ie “Do you like my £500 shoes I got ?” Are generally the ones with insecurities about themselves and money as opposed to “ Do you like my £2 shoes that I got from the charity shop?”, even though they can afford the £500 shoes !!
But, take away the facts and go back to the basics, it’s friebds of the daughters it would appear who have set up the ( correct me if I am wrong) and if that’s the case, they have probably done so on the back of what they are or have been told by PC’s daughters who have had a horrific experience and are possibly in a state of high agitation and anxiety right now so their story that they perpetuate to their friends is dramatic and ‘our lives have fell apart and we have NOTHING left ‘ maybe because that’s what they are being told by dad PC without really knowing the full facts of the situation. PC could be telling them that they cannot salvage belongings from inside the house because of XYZ... (insert you’re own reason here) and that they cannot access insurance because it’s a dual policy with his brother that’s been put on hold because of subsequent events... who knows ?Apologies if this has already been ruled out - but could the mafia be involved in some way? I'm as lost as everyone else is - not because PC and his kids and wife can't get the basics - but also because their only has $6K in it. People there are Very wealthy so it's interesting that they're not only not backing the family with a lot of $, but they're also not taking them in. Those houses are Massive. They don't have other family or friends there? Then again, maybe the person who wrote the didn't have all of the info, and hasn't updated it. But come on. "Even $1 helps"? That's just silly and dramatic in this situation imo. What a mess!!!
