CANADA Canada - Billionaire Couple Barry & Honey Sherman Murdered at Home, Toronto, 15 Dec 2017 #24

If i5 was just about ki

I think the fundamental question is in your post: Why would the killer even move the bodies (to any room) and expose himself to multiple risks? (e.g. Leaving more evidence about the house, exhausting or injuring himself en route, and extending time in the house).

I posed that question earlier, differently: Why not just leave the bodies where they had fallen? The more you move bodies, the more complex the scene becomes. The pool room as a choice is complex: a basement room, requires careful maneuvering, creates risk of losing a body in the water or getting wet. But the more puzzling question is why they were moved at all.

If I came to a house with the intent to kill a couple, I would do everything to minimize my risks. In and out quickly, with no moving of bodies.

I'm familiar with discussions about possible staging of the crime scene (misdirection) and posing of bodies. I just find it a very strange risk calculus to make.

If it was about only ending their life then yes. But the perpetrator has to think about what the crime scene looks like to the police and who it might or might not point the finger at regarding the perpetrator. Also factor in any hate of the victims which will or may cause the perpetrator to do more than the bare minimum of just murder.

I believe there are several possible reasons to stage the bodies. Acknowledging that staging increases the risk and effort involved in committing the crime.

The staging could be a means to confuse and muddle the investigation and has no meaning beyond that.

Or it is some sort of message to friends and family, or possibly the world at large about the deceased.

Or the staging could be a message of arrogance from the perpetrator, saying 'see how powerful and smart I am'. I could kill these rich people in their home, stage their bodies and not get caught.

Or a combination of all three messages.

I strongly believe if the message is decrypted, the the perpetrator will identified.

Possible clue, is there any among the Sherman family, friends and associates who are into puzzles, riddles and cryptic mysteries?

KD said that Honey’s two best friends liked true crime shows, they mentioned that to him. (One is now deceased.) I’m pretty sure it was in his podcast.
