imo, speculation, fwiw..
Surely there are easier places to put the bodies, it is hard to imagine the killer choosing to go down all those narrow hallways with two fairly heavy people, unless they were each marched to the final horror by the pool.
Could there be other subconscious/moral/religious reasons for placing them in the 'most remote' room in the house, if concealment or delay of discovery is the goal, why not put the bodies into the pool and pull the pool cover over them, or leave them in the garage?
If there was staging and fingerprints wiped away, the murder ligatures (presumably) removed from the house, and
possibly ''tidying'' of the victims, ie. adjusting BS' glasses and HS' slip-on shoes... But why leave drag marks and blood on the wall?
How confident they must have been to know where to go in that basement labyrinth and where and what button to push to open the door to the pool?
Photos, notes raise new questions about how investigators made their mistaken determination in the Barry and Honey Sherman case.

'' The Sherman bodies are located in a corner of the swimming pool room (the far right corner of the house if you are looking from the street).''
''The location of the bodies is the most remote part of the Sherman house, and the pool was rarely used — the water was green, the pool cover was on, and the room had not been cleaned for three weeks. My speculation is that this area was chosen so that it would be a considerable amount of time before they were discovered.''
'
'There is one door into the swimming pool room. It is at the other end of the room from where the bodies were located. To get into that room you have to walk down a long hallway from the front of the house, and unlock the glass door by pressing a red button (placed there for child safety reasons as part of the municipal building code) that is high on a corridor wall.''
''
On the pool railing near where Honey’s belt is tied there is a small smear of blood. There is also a smear of blood on the breast of a blue vest she is wearing. The information I have seen does not say whose blood it is.''
'' There is a mark on one cheek, but it is minor. There
is blood on her face, but it appears to have come from her nose as a result of the strangulation that killed her''
'
'Chiasson also took note of a thin line underneath where the belts were wrapped around the Shermans’ necks, indicating to him that they were killed with a thin ligature — the belts were merely used to hold the bodies up afterward. This indicates the Shermans were killed prior to the belts being attached to their necks. No thin ligatures were found at the crime scene.''
