There has been no proof provided that the Dr (Spencer) was in the basement. Some people assumed that he was in the basement and seen from someone looking inside the basement window. The police dispatch traffic I provided earlier indicated that 3 males went into the house, so I believe Spencer was seen by one of the males who entered the house. Personally, I believe Spencer was in the owner’s suite on the 2nd floor.
There have been other locals in the thread better able to answer for the immediate area. I wouldn’t say it’s dominating casual conversation in my suburb, and when I was near this house the other day there wasn’t anything noticeable. But it’s also 30 degrees out so it’s not like if this happened in springtime where it becomes the topic at the park or you make small talk with your neighbor while the kids play. Another factor is that where this happened is OSU adjacent and school isn’t back in session for another week. The campus area is way, way thinner from December 20 through January 10 or so.
I have a gentler view of the 911 operator. At the fundamental level, what she is very true.
Last I will say on the matter but it’s her tone, the snapping at the callers, not asking any information such as “are there any children in the house”, or any important information at all.
Same! They may not be “guard dogs”, but that poodle side is super smart, alert, and tenacious!
I get what you’re saying, her tone sounded like “ what’s the big deal it’s been an hour,, she could have asked “ why the concern l;Ike @Voidz said above, but it wouldnt have changed the outcome anyway. Well except they would have found the kids earlier
Yes, but imagine if they had been badly attacked (not executed) and they were laying in there dying - time would be crucial which is why the phone calls are such failures. I guess what I am saying is that they should be providing training and use this as an example of what NOT to do - they owe the public that. Here’s hoping they actually catch this evil entity.
yeah youre right, It kind of felt like they got stuck on thinking it was an overreaction.
It it were me, I’d park east of the train tracks. It’s only a 15 minute walk, and you quickly would go from locations where camera footage is easily found to where it isn’t right quick.
They did a welfare check. There were two dead bodies and two kids one and four in the house. They walked away. What if the friends had come, banged on the doors and walked away too.
I haven't listened to the 911 calls, did any caller mention the couple had very young children?
I think they are being silent, because they have a strong idea who did this.
No. And the dispatcher was very dismissive to them and kind of cutting them off when they were trying to speak. Kind of made them feel stupid, is my perception.
Maybe it’s wishful thinking but I agree. There’s been no press conference, no plea for tips outside of a single “Please upload anything you think might be helpful from 2-5am, here’s the QR code” and the area they asked for footage from is pretty small. The local articles, even in the first day or two, all stated along the lines of “repeated requests for comment from CPD were not returned.”
It's a good rule of thumb is certain types of cases, especially missing persons ones. If you're not seeing press conferences/releases on a regular basis, then you know they've probably got someone in their sights.
What’s more interesting about the narrowing window, is that LE even publicly announced it. They had already made the request with a timeline of midnight to 9:00 AM.
