Or "the cartel." :scared:
Don't get me started, I'm still trying to let that one go as a theory.
Or "the cartel." :scared:
I don't think any POI's have been named by police in the Hobby Howard murder case. Some person posted the arrest of 2 people on some website, but I am not sure if that is reliable. In any case there does not seem to be any newspaper article reporting it. I wonder if the police report of this murder is available. It might tell us if there are similarities. I am not even sure if it is officially known how he died, but I think it may be a gunshot wound.
If the Howard case was a gunshot
The Newsomes was gunshot
The Rhodens gunshot
Is there testing that LE can do to tell if the same bullets were used? Or do they just say similar. I can't remember exactly
I think in the arias case LE said the bullet came from a certain kind of gun just can't remember.

:welcome5: Thanks for joining the conversation. You are not alone. Quite a few others have expressed similar thoughts on the whole cartel/organized crime theory.
Things did get a little heated a few days back over this theory didn't they? I think members can and will discuss a bit more calmly now![]()
question: each bullet casing is it's own piece of evidence, correct? i.e. - if there were 35 casings that would be considered as 35 pieces of evidence? just checking.
It is my understanding that CR1 just bought the property DR lived on about a month before the murders. That means she probably had just lived there a couple of weeks. Whoever killed these people had intimate knowledge of their movements.
Yes, but how they had intimate knowledge is very much up for debate. Could be well known to the family, could have done research on them.It is my understanding that CR1 just bought the property DR lived on about a month before the murders.

Not saying that this case involves stolen car parts, but if you think that people wouldn't kill to protect a large racket ...

so if LE had 100 pieces of evidence collected, 35 of those could just be bullets, or casings? (I just pulled those numbers out of thin air.)
I don't find it very likely at all, but I'd not say that it's "absurd" at all.Does anyone else find the idea that there's a Mexican cartel connection absurd? The Ohio AG's statement that other grow operations had suspected ties to a Mexican drug cartel, apparently because "tents ... were stocked with food including tortillas, rice and Mexican canned beans" seems like a real leap to me. I'm guessing that the Rhoden murders are the result of some personal vendetta.

Has it been confirmed that the "Luke" DS mentioned is KR's son? I don't remember it being said it was, only a mention of a relative DS mentioned as Luke.
In this article it mentions payment as being 1000.00 and a bag of pot. Anyone else find it weird that 1000.00 was the amount strewn on KR and pot was also found at the scenes?.
Yes they can tell if the bullets came from the same gun, unless someone has intentionally altered the inside of the barrel. It's pretty much like a fingerprint, when a bullet comes out of the guns barrel, any scratches, etc on the inside of the barrel will show up on the casing of the bullet. This would be true in the case of a "handgun", but not a shotgun.If the Howard case was a gunshot

I don't think it was to get info or to torture or anything like that. I don't think the other members were killed because CR1 wouldn't give info. That going door to door and killing to extract info from CR1 just doesn't work for me. Most of us on here are parents, so I think if someone said to you "If you don't tell me what I want to know I am going next door and kill your son" you would tell them everything plus some. Then once they got that info they would just kill you and whoever was in the house with you and then leave. They wouldn't need to go next door and kill the son. Or down the road and kill the ex-wife and kids. Or 6 miles away and kill the brother. The number of houses and the number of cars is just so over the top. The being beaten up to extract info doesn't work for me either. All they had to do was threaten his son and he would have spilled everything ( I base this on being a parent myself and knowing nothing is more important than your child.) I think that beating came because CR1 and GR were either awake or woken up and tried to fight back. These people didn't just calmly sit down and let them kill them. If they were fighting back it would also explain the number of gunshot wounds. I base this on the fact that when people are shot (especially when driven by fear or anger) they don't just fall down like in the movies. They keep on coming and it usually takes more than one shot to kill them unless you hit them in the head and remember a moving target who is fighting you would be extremely hard to hit in the head. Just sayin'
Not confirmed that I know, I assumed because KR had a son Luke and he was the one with DS
