Maybe he tasered them in bed and they fell down to the floor? Both were down on the floor right next to their beds.

He had handcuffs and shackles. Parts of handcuffs and shackles were discovered on either burn barrel or burn pile. If he used these, with ALs bad leg he could have fallen and the as dragged. One or both may have fallen down stairs. There are so many possibilities. There were also stun gun canisters or whatever they are called at the farm, but no gun found. It wouldn't be that hard to get rid of something like that. Perhaps the garden or some other place around the farm.
