Firstly,
God bless those poor souls and their families. May Sarah, her family, and Stephanie's poor children and family find some peace in this tragedy. I am crying... this is just pure evil.
I was at work today. I read several reports online, but cannot post at work. Some things stood out for me. the reports I read online said the following (not quoting). 1. Sarah last saw all persons involved at her house on Wed. 2. The three were killed IN the Herrmann house. 3. LE believes Hoffman acted alone. 4. Hoffman was an accomplished outdoorsman- said he camped and hiked in that area and others frequently, before he moved into the house his parents bought. 5. The bodies were placed in a hollowed out tree- however, the report I read, which I believe was quoting LE, made note of the fact that Hoffman worked as a tree trimmer, AND HAD ACCESS TO TREE CLIMBING EQUIPMENT. I take this to mean that in his prior outdoor hikes/excursions, he came upon a tree that looked to be struck by lightening, and perhaps climbed it. LE had to saw the tree to "respectfully" remove the victims. That tells me it was not a hollowed out tree that was accessible from the ground. I think he dropped them in. He worked out and was very fit, the victims were small. Another poster here mentioned that SS worked at his gym as part of a cleaning crew. She could have been the connection- who knows.
I just find it so hard to swallow, that with such horrible diseases such as cancer that take people's lives, that humanity has to deal with other HUMANS that would DO something like this. I know some people are not pro DP, but in cases like this, or those sickos who raped and tortured that 4mo old infant in New Mexico- Well, you need to treat them like a rabid dog, or a dog who has attacked. We euthanize animals so they cannot hurt again. I think the same principle should be put into play for certain humans. JMO.
