When the case was unfolding if I were a police officer I would require any person that I knew frequented that home or lived there to be fingerprinted. Even though I may have no solid suspect I would as a matter of SOP impounded all vehicles and contents that belonged to the ones that lived in that home. I am sure the police has done likewise.
Oh I have no doubt that they believe it was a known person to Michelle, usually they base that on the way the victim is killed. As I stated in the Walker case I believe they based it as not a random act due to the overkill method of the murder. I think that weighs heavily in the equation.
I am not even sure the dogs were used but it doesnt rule out someone from the trailer park. They easily could have traveled in a vehicle instead of on foot through the woods. I dont know how reliable any of these posters that say they know the Youngs are but one said that at this time of year the trees are losing their leaves and one can see through the woods and see the back of the home from the trailer park.
So if they cant see anything then why are they now widening out the area and asking these other people anything? Surely the police think if they are asking them these things that one can see the home from their place, I would think. I am still trying to understand why they would be asking these people if they had ever been inside the home especially if they are sure they know who the killer is?

Scott Dyleski didn't personally know Pam Vitale and he definitely over did things. There was no declaration in that case that it was a non-random case so I disagree that the method of killing carries significant weight as to the determination of random versus non-random. Truth is, every murder is rather personal and overkill doesn't mean the killer and the victim actually knew each other.
As for the trees, the aerial clearly shows a large portion of those trees are evergreens and the ones that aren't probably had lost their leaves. But what really does that have to do with being able to see the home and anything that might have gone on there between midnight and 6 am ? Darkness is darkness, leaves in the woods or not. If one lives across the street, one might be able to see a car. If one lives 250 yards away and seperated by a woods, logic dictates, they could not have seen anything. I agree, someone could have driven over from the trailer park, but I could have driven there from Missouri as well.
Why asking now - well maybe now the police have identified a majority of the fingerprints in the house, but there may be some they haven't identified. This might be why they are asking not what people saw but rather if they had ever been in the house. Maybe they are asking in the trailer park area because the immediate neighbors fingerprints have been identified. At least they are being diligent. This is typical, start close, evaluate the evidence, and expand out if unknowns remain.
Impounding vehicles, like searching a crime scene still requires a warrant. Any judge in the world will sign a warrant for a vehicle located at the scene, but there must be a reason for impounding a vehicle that was not at the scene, especially one that was supposedly located in another state at the time, family relationships or not, husband or not.
Why are you so worried really - I know you study - you are stewing on something - spit it out.
