Hi Pattycake! I'll try to do a quick summary.
1. Basically, the children and wife were found strangled, some report in their beds. There are also reports that they were covered with sheets and/or spray painted. This is not official news.
2. There are reports that the family was the subject of threats from some unnamed person who vandalized their mailbox and otherwise threatened the family. We do not know if this info only came from the husband but, there are reports that the polcie were called on occasion.
3. Messages were spray painted on the walls of the home at the time of the murders. Reports say it was something to the effect of: I told you this would happen."
4. Many of us here suspect that Chris staged these threats to make it look like a stalker killed the family.
5. Chris apparently said he called from the gym or on the way home to check on his family because he always does so before the boys go to school to make sure they are up and to say goodmorning. He may say he got nervous and called LE when there was no answer because of the threats.
6. Chris works as a security officer for a major evangelcial org that he is a member of. Some are creeped out by this org and the head of it arrived at the house only a couple hours after the bodies were discovered.
7. Many question how his family would have been accessible if Chris knew security so well. Couldn't he have crafted a security system for his house? Apparently, there were cameras set up bu the DVR in one is missing. Reports are that LE is searching for it.
More Later...
To continue:
8. Reports are that Chris did have a mistress in FL who removed her Myspace shortly after the case broke. LE has apparently been to FL to interview someone.
9. Chris did not work the night of the murders. He does work nights. There are reports from a neighbor that he heard loud arguing and screaming at @ 3:00 a.m. the morning of the murders.
10. Chris reportedly met LE at his home. It is unclear if he found the bodies first or if LE did. He then sobbed, fell to the ground and rolled on the grass until he was put in an ambulance? (I'm unsure here). I don't think he was taken to the hospital.
11. Chris retained a very high profile crim defense lawyer hours after the discovery. Subsequently, LE had to get a court order for his fingerprints to narrow down who was in the house. It appears he has not voluntarily given anymore info or evidence.
12. Chris did not notify his wife's family for two days after the discovery. He then acted strange about the funeral and changed his mind about letting them take the bodies to their hometown for a funeral there. The family got a court order allowing them to have the bodies in their hometown for the funeral. The bodies later came back for burial.

14. Chris apparently seemed unmoved at the visitation for his little boys and wife.
15. LE has reported that they think they know who did it but are not quite ready for an arrest. One poster stated LE came by her house (she's a neighbor of the family) and insinuated that the public has nothing to fear because it is as it appears to be (editorial: That hubby killed his family). LE has reported that this seems to be an isolated incident and that the wife and kids were specifically targeted.
16. LE seems to be keeping Chris under surveillance.
Anything I missed?
