It would cut your internet connection, yes. Devices within the home could communicate with each other over Wi-Fi if the router still had power, but they wouldn’t communicate with the outside world. If that camera footage is from 2:12 am or thereabouts, the camera reconnected to Wi-Fi and had a...

His old car (the Dodge Charger) was sitting in the driveway, with severe damage to the front. The warrant would have been for that one, you’d think. The fact that it wasn’t taken (except by the insurance company, later) suggests they had something significant in mind about the Range Rover. It...

Possible. So the sequence would be: creeps about, takes camera at about 2:12 am, enters through rear, leaves by front door before 2:28? Possible use of a signal jammer at 1:47 am, perhaps to prevent recording of the vehicle entering?

If entry was through the property’s back door, most of the time spent inside, including the subduing of NG, happened well before the video footage. Remove camera around 2:12 am, leave straight afterwards with NG, with blood spatter on the porch tiles showing the route out. That’s the sequence...

I think it’s still too early to say that there’s very little to go on. Who knows what they have? I agree it’s very unlikely to be LD, though. I was hopeful on the day of the search, but it has been too long now for him to be a viable suspect. If it had been him, I feel that investigators would...

Same here.

Max Gorden is with Fox.

LD in the car at Culver’s, MD in the home. The reporting I saw suggested LD’s brother also at the home. I don’t know if that’s accurate. (Edit: no mention at all now of a third person, so perhaps that early reporting was wrong?)

I think Briana Whitney wanted them both there. LD was detained and interviewed at Culver’s, and his car was searched and seized. His mother was detained at the same time, and removed from the house while it was searched. Same times, but different places, and I think the reporter wanted to hear...

It feels like one of those cases where the public can’t settle on a convincing motive till the perp is identified, probably using technology. His behaviour and planning may allow some decent conclusions about his personality and background. But if anyone can work out why, it would be the...

My guess is that the cameras capture nothing at night, being too far from the road and set to detect motion. The location of the camera at N Camino Real seems like the exception to the rule. But it would be good to see that kind of analysis!

That last sentence is so true. It also applies to the planning, though. People with triple-digit IQs and time still get caught (Dr Michael McKee, for example, or Luigi Mangione). They overestimated their ability and planning skills. They underestimated law enforcement. This guy seems to have...

What if the get-up successfully prevented DNA shedding (bite light under a second face mask, no prints); the few facial details we see, like the mouth and lips, were actually a mesh mask under the ski mask; the gun placement was purely designed to intimidate an 84yo woman? And what if the...

Agreed about the apparent level of preparation. If there’s obvious evidence of the perp’s hubris, it hasn’t been made public yet. I wouldn’t want to eliminate the chance of a far-from-smart criminal having been unusually lucky, but the likelihood becomes lower with every passing day.

Has NG’s been returned?
