I don't believe any members of OGs family were involved in her murder, and I consider them victims in this case, but I think the killer being a friend of one of the sons fills in some gaps that the ex-handyman/lover theory has. The following is all my own opinion is speculation.
If the killer was a friend of one of the sons, that would explain:
1) Their knowledge of the house and how to get in. For example, my brothers friends and girlfriends knew we typically kept the basement door unlocked since he would sneak them over late at night. They were also familiar with the alarm system and which doors/windows would trigger the alarms for the same reasons as stated above.
2) Why the killer bothered to remove the body from the house––if it was a friend of one of the sons, they probably would not want their friend or friend's brother to see their mom's body, something I would assume a lover/ex-handyman would care far less about.
3) The apparent comfort the killer had within the home. If it was a friend of one of the sons, they would know things like the father and older son being out of town, that perhaps the 13-year-old was a sound sleeper and wouldn't be awakened by the commotion (i.e., comfortable spending a prolonged period of time in the house after the murder), as well as things like the existence and location of the hockey bag used to transport the body and potentially where to find extra clothes to change into.
