I have not been pursuing things on this case as in the past but this evening noted that someone left an interesting comment on the WOWT TV news website, this was posted a couple months ago and I found this viewer's comments interesting:
"I've read a lot on this story. Everything I have read on this case, unfortunately, leads me to believe that this was probably a prof. hit, to intimidate the parents; the murders brutal fashion. (The perpetrator went in wearing a black coat, black does not show blood; therefore, he probably knew he would kill them, before he went in) His coat was probably, a rain coat/absorbant. He did not immediately know which house he was looking for, but prob. had the address, and details, from someone else. (Probably also had a change of clothes that closely resembled what he was wearing, going in., in his briefcase; he was very prepared) The perpetrator probably had stolen license plates, and had the address. He probably knew the housekeeper, and the boy, would be there. He probably even knew both of their names. He used a knife, because it was quiet, and this was during the day. The fact that both were stabbed in the throat, seems very significant; he did not want them to scream. Gun shots would have brought attention. If you do any reading on some older hit men, that were involved with many murders, in NY, this was their MO, especially in the beginning of their careers. The perpetrator was not scared, or ruffled, because there were probably no ties to him, and this child/the housekeeper, and obviously this person has done this so many times before, he was unaffected, and probably felt somehow justified. He may have even been so bold, as to have taken a shower in the house, to rinse off blood droplets. Only a professional would be able to have done this to a child, and a woman, and not be affected. I would be looking at whom the parents had worked with, in a residency program, that was probably rejected, after years of studying/preparation, to be a doctor; and someone whom could afford a hit like this."
I have never been able to comprehend why someone would cold bloodily kill like this if there was no personal connection, but anything's possible. One point of interest- IMO if this was a professional it was not a seasoned professional. By that I mean it was not the kind of hired help that does this sort of thing for a living. Very many professional hit men will NOT kill a child. I can easily envision this being some former special forces dude who killed as part of his commando duties. It was something he was paid to do perhaps by someone he knew, or by someone who contacted him anonymously through an ad or online and that someone had a terrific grudge against the Hunters. Look in some of the macho men's magazines or even in some supermarket tabloids and you can find ads from 'soldiers of fortune', at least last time I looked I did.
Also consider the timing, whomever did this either knew the schedule for the household or was briefed by someone who did. He struck at a time when the victims were alone and vulnerable. It was timed so that Dr. Hunter would find the bodies when he arrived home.
I realize this goes against the line that AMW took in their show but I cannot help wondering if Tom's online activities, while interesting, had nothing to do with the killings. This case may never be solved but no one involved should quit trying.
