i think so also. i hope they catch who did it soon. no telling what else may happen if they dont.Reading between the lines....they have a suspect.
I sure hope so. The article did sound like they might. Maggie is a beautiful girl. I can only imagine the pain that she is going through--losing her entire family who by her own description seemed very loving.Reading between the lines....they have a suspect.
Thanks for the update. Still hoping for an arrest or arrests to be made soon. I can't even imagine what Maggie is feeling - does anyone know if she has any aunts, uncles or grandparents around? I know she's an "adult" at 20, but she's going to need extended family to help her through this. Prayers for them all.http://local.lancasteronline.com/4/205066

your welcome. i just remember reading in an article at one time that the haines family and friends had set up an award for info on the killer. so it sounds like she has plenty of support around i would hope. My prayers are with them also.Thanks for the update. Still hoping for an arrest or arrests to be made soon.

I'm pretty sure they do.
Hey all, me again. Sorry I haven't been online and I missed the question posed to me about the direct link to the Lancaster News article about Steve. I'm glad that someone else posted it.
I heard again (indirectly) from a kid at MTHS that "the kid who killed the Haines family is in my class." Apparently this kid has arms all messed up with cuts and went so far as to write on the bathroom wall "I killed Kevin Haines." According to the person I spoke with (a good friend of the family) this kid had supposedly been ruled out, but I'm not so sure.
The community is still freaked out. And most of us are more worried that this could be a teenager that did this. I can't explain it, but to think that a child could have this much anger scares the crap out of us. Of course in our heads we know it's possible, even probable. But this is a "good" area, and things like this just don't happen. Or at least that is what we all told ourselves before.
Did your friend know if this kid had a fight or grudge against Kevin?
More likely that the killer had a crush on Kevin, IMHO.
I still think it was jealousy in some way that fueled this. :twocents:
All good possibilities. Thanks for the thought provoking post. It sure is a mystery as to what happened to this family.
The only thing I think that may be contradictory to your theories is it seems none of the victims had defensive wounds on them. So I am not sure any of them struggled with the killer. It seems they were just slaughtered unmercifully without a chance to fight back. The one stab wound in the stomach of Lisa reminds me of the Pamela Vitale case when Scott Dyleski stabbed her in the abdomen after bludgeoning her 39 times. The ME said that PV would have died from that stab wound if she had not already been beaten in the head.
I think that is so puzzling. How could one lone murderer come in and kill these people one at a time and none of them seemed to struggle or fight back?
I do wholeheartedly agree that Lisa would have woken it seems. Just the repeated stabbing of her husband laying next to her would have jostled the bed and mothers do have a quick wakening response due to child raising years imo.
I am also perplexed if this killer was there to brutally murder all three then why just one stab to the abdomen concerning the mom when the others were repeatedly stabbed?
Imo somehow this killer knew this family and had been inside that home and knew the full layout. It is very hard to maneuver through a strange house at 2:20 am in the morning without being detected and this home had 4 individuals residing in it.
This is a vendetta killing imo. The killer came to murder these people for a reason he had created in his own sick depraved mind. Now the question is and seems to remain who in the world would have that much hatred for this family when by all accounts they were upstanding citizens in their community and bothered no one?
imoo
