Maybe, in time, they would have looked at the idea of targeted but I doubt so early on unless there was some strong reason to do so. No matter what, they would still be looking at the husband and they would have looked at her iPhone so some people would have been looked at regardless. Absent any evidence of clear staging I expect they would be working the burglary gone work scenario pretty hard and would probably indicate that direction in the media where they had the opportunity. But it was early on where rumblings of targeted started, even before the long MPD video came out. It had to come from somewhere.Just my thoughts.... I honestly believe that when LE had time to look over all that happened to Missy that morning, with time, they would have known that this was targeted. I think the staging of burglary gave perp time to leave and hide evidence before they knew it was targeted. I also think looking at her phone , emails, and BBs information that it was just a matter of time til they put it together. I don't believe someone robbing a church would have killed her in that manner or overkill. The FBI would have seen this kind of murder so many times. So Jethro... do you agree or do you think it's possible that if SP hadn't made that mistake, it would have been a burglary gone wrong? I love how you see things ....such good info for all of us. Thanks!!!

There has to be some evidence that would suggest that something else was going on in that church that morning other than a burglary gone wrong. Some skilled investigator had to raise that suggestion with some foundation rather than it be looked into merely on some whim. I doubt it was the case where someone in their investigator meetings said, "All the evidence clearly points to a burglary gone wrong but what if it was targeted instead?" and then they all went head-long into diverting their resources to that possibility. Something was seen either on the video they had or in crime scene photos that was more than just odd but rather inconsistent or contradictory in terms of everything else, in my opinion. It is possible that it wasn't seen in those videos or photos but something in the autopsy report was inconsistent or contradictory.
There was certainly enough in the videos that was odd and unusual but that alone wouldn't necessarily indicate that it was something other than a burglary gone wrong.
SP did a superb job , MPD did a poor job, or both if after nearly 10 months it is truly the case that MPD, is still uncertain as to what was happening in that church that morning.
