I’m sure there is a lot I don’t know about the process of obtaining a search warrant, but can anybody explain to me why a search warrant was not obtained to search MZ’s residence until January 12, 2023?
From the crime scene I presume that LE was able to quickly determine that the Zajko’s had been shot, and that the murders had likely been committed in the last couple of days. With that info, I assume they immediately looked for - and found - the neighbor’s ring doorbell video
If the ring camera recorded a voice in Rita and Richard’s house at 11:30 pm on New Year’s Eve shouting “Mom!”, don’t you think LE would have immediately wanted to talk to MZ? Maybe they did, but she apparently was not interviewed until 2-3 days later on January 5, 2023.
When LE did eventually interview MZ (on the day after the autopsies were completed) they already knew that the weapon used had been a 9mm handgun, and that the ammo used had been hollow point. MZ had a 9mm handgun in her possession during the interview - that she even allowed LE to handle.
Given all that, wouldn’t you think that a search warrant for MZ’s residence seeking to recover the (likely) same weapon that LE already knew she owned - could have been obtained prior to 1/12/2023?
