They were the same way before they tried the Edenfields for murdering and raping Christopher Barrios. I think they are trying to make sure that Jr. gets a fair trial. Even the defense attorney has wanted a lid put on this case.
From the photo I have seen Joe I would make a guesstimate that the home was made sometime in the 70s or maybe early 80s (it has a lot of age on it) and is a 12' or maybe 14' wide by 60 ft or 64ft long, I would think it had two bedrooms on the opposite end from of where the living room, dining area and kitchen was. The hallway would lead off from the living room going to the bedrooms and bathroom.
I am just guessing but it seems to be the typical cheap metal siding small single wide sold back then and when I had my real estate company I sold new mobile home and regular site built homes too but I took a lot of these old trailers in on trade and sold them to hunters that had deer hunting camps.
No they have not revealed where all the victims were found. I imagine most of them were sleeping soundly when it happened and those that may have awaked were trapped and couldn't get past him to run for the entrance door. They probably tried to plead with him not to hurt them or others too. Trying to talk some sense into him.
12 feet is a very narrow space especially with furniture sitting here and there in the way. I think he hemmed them up and they had no weapon. It has been said that he used either a crow bar, tire iron and maybe the butt of a shotgun too. They had nothing to defend themselves with. They knew if they rushed in close to him he could kill them with one blow to the head imo.
This is one of the most horrific crimes I have read about in many years.
IMO
I have just discovered this thread, and have been reading the posts, not going to any of the links as yet.
The first thing that puzzles me is that the 3 year old survived while all the others died. Does this show compassion for a child, or was the perp just worn out?
Also, if they were awake at the time, with only one perp, they would have run on him, because the obvious alternative would be death. The fight or flight instinct would kick in, imo.
Unless someone had a vendeta against this family, the only other motive to my mind is crazy drugged up people. Honestly, it reminds me of the Sharon Tate murder. In that case, there were many murderers.
Does anyone know if anything was missing from the home?
How long did all those people live in that same small home, if they did all live there.
Was any of them just visiting?
As always, the biggest question is "why"
If one can find the why, they can usually find the who.
So much for a speedy trial though, eh?
He waived his right to a speedy trial? Was that sound counsel?
It's an interesting case.
One more thing, why is the child in "foster care" and not with the maternal grandmother? Anyone know?
all moo.
