Arns said some of the blood consistency appeared to be altered - as if they were swiped with a rag or a mop. #Garland

Arns used a chemical enhancement process in kitchen area, which revealed the swipe patterns and transfer stains. #Garland

Sorry to write this in between the tweets. But I really feel super proud of Kathy. I don't know why I feel like she really tried to be a super hero until
Her last breath.

Arns says it appears as though some blood- starting in kitchen and towards stairs to garage- has been mopped or wiped up. #Garland #yyc

Arns says in the kitchen, the swipe pattern on the floor goes side to side, as if someone had taken a rag and wiped #Garland #yyc

Blood on wall: appears to be wiped, diluted, says Arns #Garland

Something just occurred to me. It seems like DG tried to clean up the crime scene. He mopped, wiped walls, hide barbells in the garage. It was a half-assed job. I don't think he had planned for that much of a struggle and not much blood. He probably wanted it to look like Alvin and Kathy just disappeared so he would have a lot of time to torture them at his farm.

Exactly my thoughts.

I think his plan was to use the blackjack to knock them out and use handcuffs on them and then get them to his farm. I dont think he even planned for blood could be all over the place.

I think he wanted people to think they left on their own.

I agree with another who suggested maybe one of the Liknes grabbed a barbell and began fighting back which spoiled his own planning.
IMO the Liknes helped solve this crime themselves with them trying their best to fight him.

It seems there was the most amount of blood from KL at the house. I wonder why?

"larger amount of blood that had absorbed into the carpet," Arns says, explaining what a saturation stain is. #Garland #yyc

Arns said a swab taken from the 4th stair from the bottom was a mixed DNA profile. Matches for both Kathy and Alvin Liknes. #Garland #yyc

Possible reason for the bruise on his knee? Would make sense they put up a fight. I feel like if he had them at the farm the chance of them injuring him there would be slim.
