What is age difference? Do you know? 5 years?

The sister is 56

I take it from ruben, she is overweight, not very attractive and looks much older than her age.

I think someone posted about this.

It's about LE releasing the crime scene. I wonder if the bf will return to it. That would be very awkward IMO. I don't know what I would do with it, but I'm pretty sure I couldn't stay there, except maybe if I knew what happened. I can't imagine putting it on the market right away either.

I was just thinking about this this morning. Since I've never had an experience quite like this, I was wondering if they just turn the crime scene over to the owner just as they left it. Would the owner be left to clean whatever is remaining? The sheets, fingerprint dust, luminol,etc?

No, I wouldn't stay there either. Wonder where he has been staying...

If so, imagine what it would be like to live in KT's shadow all these years...

Yes, the cops will leave w/o the courtesy of employing a maid to clean.
I imagine this scene will not be too bad....mainly fingerprint dust.
I am sure John will dispose of the mattress and that's about it.
I'm sure he would like to sell the house ASAP.
Question is, WTH would buy that place right now?
It took Jason Young well over a year to sell the house he murdered his wife in.
Plus, he ended up taking about $25k below market value just to attract a buyer (unsuspecting buyer from California)

Who knows. They sold the Peterson house fairly quickly. Of course, I don't know whether they took a loss or not. What about the Cooper house - how long did that take?

"The sister orginally told investigators that she came to pick up Ms. Taft to take her out to breakfast..someone who has gone through a face-lift the day before would not be able to do that. Then, the sister changed her story and said she was staying in the house with Ms. Taft. She said that she left to go to the grocery store and left the front door unlocked. Once she was at the grocery store she realized she had locked her keys inside the car. Instead of going back inside the store to call for help or ask for assistance to get the car door unlocked, she walked all the way back to the house. When she got to the house to retrieve another set of car keys, she did not check on her sister and left to go back to the grocery store. Once she came back after gettin the car she still did not check on her sister for several more hours. It wasn't until later that the sister called 911 and said that she thought ms. taft was having complications. Once Ms. taft was at the ER they discovered she had been assaulted and called the police.

This is the story I was told...it may be rumor or there may be truth to it, I do not know. But it did originate from someone who knew Ms. taft, her sister, and the man who owned the home."

So RN2005 said she had another set of keys and walked back, got the car and drove to the house...checking on Kathy several hours later.
This sounds like it was Sat AM, before she called 911.

My source said she went to the store Friday afternoon and locked the keys in the car.
Wonder if RN2005 misunderstood and it was just Saturday AM she returned to the parking lot? We have wondered about a locksmith Sat. AM. Now it does seem she did leave the house that morning.
Another set of keys :waitasec:

???? She just happened to have another set of keys? Even if she drove KT's car, why would KT keep an extra set of keys at an old BF's house? These extra car keys are baffling to me. Did the sisters keep a key to each other's car on their key rings? Where did the extra key come from?
