At this point in time, years later, who are the main suspects? Just the NW or others? I’m trying to condense all of this to keep it clear.
Have LE completely ruled out murder-suicide?
Has anyone gotten the money from the will yet?
Police have only pointed out the one suspect, as far as I'm aware, however they haven't ruled anyone else OUT either. It seems LE is at least considering that this NW person could have been a hired person acting on behalf of someone else.
Price said he could not exclude anybody with 100 per cent certainty, because even if a person was ruled out as the person in the video, that person could have been involved in some way.

Also, at the time of Brandon Price's press conference in December 2021 when the 'nightwalker' was made public, he indicated the possibility of someone else pulling the strings:
19:28
BP: There's other avenues of investigation that we have undertaken and are ongoing. Um, this is certainly a valuable piece of evidence though.
Reporter asking about numerous persons of interest mentioned a year ago and whether police have compared with the suspect in the video.
20:00
BP: So, I don't like to say that we've excluded people or included people specifically, so I certainly won't get into that. Um, but it's a consideration now, the fact is that nobody can be uh, 100% excluded, because there's always a possibility, and we'll keep an open mind to, that there's more than the one individual who executes the uh action, that may be culpable. So we're certainly keeping an open mind to that and so....

LE ruled it a double homicide back in January 2018, whereas up until that point, they were publicly at least, saying the deaths were one of three possibilities. So yes, when they publicly declared it was a targeted double homicide, they completely ruled out M/S. imo.

I remember JS stating in an article (found it, portion is pasted below) that he had paid back all of the monies he owed back to the estate (apparently even though he also reportedly believes he never needed to repay
any of the money - so does 'every dollar borrowed' translate into 'zero dollars'?), after he received the first payout from his portion of the estate, so it sounds like the kids have definitely started receiving monies, by latest, the end of 2020. But I believe most of the money was tied up in Apotex, so the business would need to be sold (which is apparently in progress now) before they would ever see the largest portions of their inheritance.
Our conversation continues. I tell him that no bank mortgages were registered on his storage properties in late November or early December 2017, as his father had requested. JS said they did “start conversations with the banks” but due to the deaths of his parents and the eventual division of the multibillion dollar Sherman estate — which was divided equally among the four siblings — the financing was not necessary. The $580 million legal judgment against Apotex was reduced during a negotiation and later paid, Jonathon told me.
As to the $125 million in interest-free loans his father had advanced his company over the years, JS said he paid that money back to the Sherman estate from his first “dispersal” of funds from the estate. (The money is being released to the four children in stages, although much of the fortune is tied up in Apotex which remains for sale.) “Every dollar borrowed has been returned,” he says.
As to the request from his father to repay the $50 million to $60 million, JS tells me that my questions are making “a lot more of that request” than he did at the time. “We never really saw it as a threat,” JS says. He says a shareholder agreement existed between father and son that said “we never have to give you back any money.”
Barry Sherman’s son says his father asked him to repay tens of millions of dollars, two weeks before murders, but Barry was ‘all in’ with son’s business
