First time poster here, although I joined a few years back with some interest in this case. I am well acquainted with the married couple (for the sake of their deserved privacy, I will not name them) who now own the Gleave property, and had noticed, in my quick catch-up with this thread, that there was some suspicion surrounding how they obtained the property. I would like to put an end to that immediately. The wife's parents actually live almost <MODSNIP>, in a house tucked away from the road, <MODSNIP>. So of course, they were aware right away that the property would be available, as they were first to hear about the unfortunate murder. The couple had already been looking to move, as their house, located ten minutes away, could no longer accommodate their growing family.
Their real estate agent was a friend of the family with no connection to Gleave. The reason that the house was so cheap is that it was extremely poorly constructed and in terrible shape. As you all seem to know, Gleave was a hoarder. But you may not know that she was a hoarder <MODNSIP>. The wife never saw the home with Gleave's possessions still inside it, but as she described it to me, the kitchen floor was worn down in a particular way that indicated there was only a path for Gleave to get through. <MODSNIP>.
The wife also told me that it was evident that Gleave's things were stacked high against the walls as you could see where the wallpaper was shaded. It may have looked nice from the outside but the interior was a wreck. It needed to be demolished. Also, the couple wanted to build a much larger house for their family, with a more modern style. And of course, there is some hesitancy in living where someone was so brutally murdered, which is all the more reason to start fresh. And they were really wanting to be closer to family. I have children of my own, so I completely understand how helpful proximity to grandparents can be, and now their parents are <MODSNIP>.
I am not sure who benefited from the sale as the house, as I am not one to ask someone financial questions. But I do not believe that the murder was financially motivated. I personally think the murder was the result of a sick and twisted mind.
I do have a few more things to impart, that might interest you. The wife told me that her parents were disappointed in how the LE handled the case. They were never approached, even though they have several outhouses on their property that might have been searched. Her mother had to contact the police to tell them about her own unpleasant experience with DLS. They never came once to their door, even though they live so nearby. I think it was because the LE was already so convinced that DLS was the one responsible, and this is why they were not thorough.
I believe that Gleave was killed the night that the neighbour's dog was barking. The properties are all set far away from one another that neighbours would not hear other dogs barking, but they would hear their own.
<MODSNIP> The wife also heard the same thing, and she had some inside sources as she was purchasing the house. This does not correspond with PK's description of the body. <MODSNIP>
RIP, Audrey.
