Those of us who live in the area and post at places like Websleuths will NEVER let Jennifer and her family far from our minds and hearts. I live in Greensboro, NC, and I have posted several x about these murders-especially after Duncan was captured in the Groene case. Why, you ask? Because it occurred to me that in some respects, there were unsettling ?? that bugged me after his capture.
1. That Duncan staked out the Groene family-and I wondered if something similiar happened in Jennifer's case.
2. The cut phone lines at the Short residence-didn't Duncan do the same at the Groene home?
3. That Duncan was a scuba entheusiast and that there was a scuba event at large venue in the area around the same time frame.
4. My own belief is that Jennifer was the target all along-why else take the chance of removing her from the home at all?
I know that to date, no concrete evidence has surfaced to place Duncan in the area at the time of the murders-but I still have not seen an answer to a ?? I posed before-what was the caliber of the weapon Duncan was caught with; and what was the caliber of the weapon used in the Short murders?
Just my own meanderings-and any errors are my own!
There have been many references to Duncan maybe being involved in this case, and if I remember correctly, someone in Websleuths and or the "Court TV" message boards sent their 2 cents worth about this to local LE. But there has never been any mention of it in our local news concering this allegation.
As far as I could tell, the closest info about Duncan maybe being involved came from the fact that he had a family member, maybe a sister, who resided in NC, not to far from the Short location in VA. Also, Duncan was suppossedly involved in that online game of GPS hunting of clues (sorry, don't know what the game is called), and may have been as close as the NC area where his sister lived.
The biggest reason I think he was not involved, was because of the location where they found little Jennifer's body. Although it was located off one of our major highways, your everyday tom dick and harry wouldn't just happen upon this location. If you didn't know where it was, it would have been very hard for a stranger to find because it was several turns off the main highway and not very highly travelled.
But I guess anything is possible when it comes to this case, since nothing else they've investigated has seemed to pan out.
I think the majority of us in the area feel as if Jennifer were the intended target, since she is the one who was kidnapped, not just shot at her home like her parents, unless of course the target was one of the parents and in shooting them, little Jennifer woke up and the animal/animals that killed her parents just couldn't decide what to do with her at first, and later decided she, too, had to be done away with???
MOO
