I just did a drive by. There was a camera man there, but I'm not sure whether he was with the police or news media as I didn't see any news vehicles around (that said, it is a small road, and no parking available on street unless one uses the adjacent parking garage, so maybe news vehicle might have been parked there or some other nearby place out of view). The cameraman wasn't in a uniform and was outside the crime scene tape so I assume not with police.
There is indeed a blue tent in the backyard, though I'm not sure what they're using it for. Perhaps just to keep nosey people from seeing anything going on, perhaps to melt snow and check the grounds, or perhaps just to give cover given that we're expecting some rain over the coming days and up to 15cm of snow on Saturday. There was also a black van there as well that I hadn't seen there before. Not sure what role that vehicle or its staff might have in this investigation. I was hoping it wasn't the coroner.
There were also two forensics units there. The large one, and a smaller SUV type one. Something I noticed as well that I don't think has been mentioned yet which was interesting - the front door had a sticker covering it (small, almost like a file folder label size). It was NOT broken, but I wonder if that was for the chain of evidence? Perhaps to seal the doorway, and maybe someone must sign off on something when they open it? Purely speculation on my part. The sticker was NOT pressed to the opposite side of the door so perhaps it hadn't been sealed off as yet, or perhaps someone just placed a new sticker on today... it didn't look weathered.
I wonder what else if anything officers have found there? I'm told that last night an ambulance was at the scene with lights on but I don't believe that means that a body was found or anything. Its possible an officer may have been struggling with everything they're dealing with, or someone may have had a slip on ice etc. I feel awful for the officers dealing with this scene. I'd worry about possible vicarious trauma in each of them!
