And yet it was almost 50 days after the murders before LE interviewed KW and Desai. 50 days! Friends and relatives were not asked to provide alibis. Recent visitors to the home immediately before and after the murders weren’t asked for fingerprint or DNA samples until much later. LE’s actions or lack thereof entirely support the idea that they suspected this was a M/S from the outset. It is not reasonable, based on their investigative actions, to assume they were pursuing a double homicide case until the private detective team and Dr Chiasson pointed out the obvious.

I’m now going to speak in broad generalities: when police think a specific person (or people) might have committed a murder, they interview that person or people last. They want to collect as much evidence as possible before calling in a person to lock in their story. By waiting, they have more evidence that can be matched against the suspect’s story.

In this case police continued to conduct interviews after speaking to Kerry, as their investigation wasn’t over. But I do not think they were dragging their heels on the interviews with these three men. I think they purposely waited to speak with them on camera.

It would be much more efficient for police to interview first, get the interviewee’s statements on record, and then corroborate the specific things that the individual said afterwards, including their alibi. Which they didn’t do.
And it certainly was not advisable to wait 50 days to interview someone who knew the Sherman’s intimately, and who had already expressed hatred for the Sherman family. Remember, the Sherman children were I am sure very frightened, and had to engage private security during that time. No one knew if the children and other family members might also be targets of the killer(s).
The police believed the killer was already dead. So why rush any investigation…..

You may wish suspects were Interviewed before witnesses, but that is not the way it works. Witness statements and physical evidence lead police to identify suspects.

Again, you can attend literally any trial in Canada and see this in action.
