What we know about the crime scene is that it was:
- somewhere in Lindbrook, less than few minutes drive from the abandoned property,
- inside a building (may be a house, may be barn or some farm building),
- in some distance from the nearest occupied house,
- in a place where butane torch and farm shears were at easy grab.
Yes, those items could be brought there, but why? could those things have some special significance to the murderer? there is no shortage of that you can find in the house and use them to inflict horrific tortures on someone? but they didn't use some kitchen appliances - why? If he was tied to a bed, then kitchen should be closer than garage or barn where bhutane torch and farm shears would be. But they're not grabbing anything from the kitchen.
They're also not concerned with the mess. What with all the blood? Who'd torture a guy to death on his own bed? That's way more cleaning, and it's rural area, farm buildings are all around. Abandoned ones were probably checked by LE. So... not abandoned, inhabited.
So murderer either owned a garage, barn or some other farm building in the area or had exclusive access to it in January '77.
I can't narrow down the location of the abandoned property, but I'm now under impression that it was on the verge of Lindbrook and farther from Tolbrook than property owner's new home (so closer to Alberta).
So I'd guess it was somewhere along the road that led from Alberta to Lindbrook and eventually that abandoned property. South Lindbrook probably.
Access to Gordon's last known address and abandoned property location should probably help narrow it down significantly.
And the murderer was:
- local,
- smoker,
- gun owner,
- farm worker, likely farm owner or close relative to farm owner,
- a man,
- handy man,
- car owner, car that wouldn't bury itself in snow easily,
I'm backing out on a plumber unless the type of plumber that deals more with septic tanks than sinks and pipes. Cause nylon rope, not just some rope. That hints at farmer along with lime and farm shears.
- to some degree experienced mechanic,
- close to abandoned property owners,
- in some way connected to Gordon,
- violent and sadistic,
- yellow bedsheet owner.
