Hi all, new the site! I just wanted to put in my two cents, since I've been lurking for a few days. This case is very interesting to me and apparently quite a few other people.
nline:
It seems to me like Terri was targeted since this does not fit the "typical" archetype of an armed robbery. Why? It's a church and if perp is willing to rob in full tactical gear, why pick a church? You have a small chance of walking away with offerings from the previous week but the chances are slim, as many churches have an in house safe or have the church secretary make deposits the next day.
I have so many questions like, if this perp is aware of the church's financial practices then wouldn't they be aware of the classes that the church hosts, every week? Back to the tactical gear, why bother if you're simply committing a relatively small scale robbery, assuming no one will be there to interrupt you? They could have easily and affordably used a ski mask and black clothing, right? Why did the perp use a helmet mounted flash light AS WELL AS a hand held flash light? Why do you seemingly only have a hammer in your hands? Wouldn't a screwdriver or tire jack be more effective for breaking in? If you walked to the church then how are you going to get what you've taken back to your vehicle?
I wanted to also say that you can get the gear this person is wearing anywhere, just type in tactical gear on amazon and it will be at your house in 2 days, so it is easy to acquire. Does anyone have an answer as to why the motion cameras did not pick up where the murder took place, I mean in the room where it happened? Is this why the perp was wearing a helmet light? :thinking:
