Thank you. Looking at post #6, there seems to be considerable doubt about whether he actually was shot in the head, with police seeming to say that there was no sign of foul play. Of course, the police could have been referring to another person who was found, too. And there’s possibly some...

It doesn’t seem desperate to me—more like a high percentage of routine police work, I’d guess, specially in a case like this.

Well, the first post in this thread says that he was found with a bullet hole in his head. That’s fairly strong circumstantial evidence as to the cause of his heath. A lot of questions remain unanswered, of course.

And that Reddit link is full of interesting information.

Has anyone else thought of the Dermotts? Georgia, 2014, not solved yet. Elderly husband murdered in the home. Elderly wife disappears, and is found in the lake, days later. (If I remember rightly, her body hadn’t been weighted enough to keep her submerged.) No particular sign of anything...

I believe that all states in the US can charge with murder, without a body. But, specifically, Indiana does. https://www.indystar.com/story/news/crime/2021/02/26/indianapolis-crime-how-murder-cases-work-when-victim-missing/4540872001/

Okay, I feel confident now that he’s a serial killer. I didn’t see in the article just when he lived in the house where human remains were found. That’d help clarify the timeline.

We need to face the facts. Our legal system does not, and should not, revolve around personal revenge OR personal forgiveness. It is best for the State of Idaho that a quadruple murderer be locked up for the rest of his life. Anyone who’s paid any attention to at all to jury trials will know...

But if BK preferred death to LWOP, he could have taken the Gary Gilmore path. Since he didn’t, I don’t see how he’d be considered similar.

Note that many murderers don’t believe that it’s worse than the death penalty.

https://nineplanets.org/moon/phase/11-3-2023/ According to this link, the moon, though not full, was giving a substantial amount of light—if it had risen? Looks like it hadn’t. Wouldn’t mind if someone else checked that I read the charts correctly...

I wonder what her husband said about why she wasn’t around any more. Or, of course, they could have separated long before age was killed.

I think that we often see judges who are extremely concerned to protect the integrity of the court proceedings, so the trial results don’t get overturned on appeal. In practice, I think that tends to make them look as though they favor the defense, even though that’s not their motivation. All MOO

<modsnip: Quoted post was removed> I suspect that @Boxer is pointing out a little problem with the plan.

My guess is that they wanted something so weird that it’d get lots of attention in the media. The more, the better.
