All good points. BTW, if you can find and share a photo of the red truck at the W farm, that would be great. I'm pretty sure we've already posted photos of the truck parked at JM's place. You're also spot on about LE seeming to put up a smoke screen by not releasing any facts about the case. The time, labor and expense they've expended to protect the AR's and lock up the trailers and camper is pretty much unprecedented in murder cases AFAIK.
Agree, someone was using JM and BJM, setting them up to look like the killers. We know why, but we don't exactly know who. W's seem to be involved in that, but I have a feeling there's someone else behind the scenes who helped engineer and carry out that plan. Has there ever been a case of someone doing that before in a murder case in that area? Can we see any patterns or similarities between these murders (and set up of family and acquaintences) and others in the region? Were there other murders/ burglaries/ B&E in the area where someone used some of the same MO's? Whomever killed the Rhodens & HHG, it probably wasn't their first rodeo. JMO, they built up to this. They learned something each time they killed someone.
Feel free to add other murders that have a similar MO or common victim characteristics.
Some common characteristics of previous crimes:
Pre-planning of the murder (Newsome, Rhodens, Eapmon, Lake)
Surveilling victims schedules beforehand (Rhodens, Newsome, Lake, Eapmon)

Gun as the murder weapon (Shotgun was used in Newsom murders)
Victims mostly killed execution style - shot in the head at close range (Rhodens, Newsome, Lake, Eapmon)
Shooting victims while they're asleep or in bed (mostly successful, but sometimes victims awaken and fight back or try to escape) (Newsome, Rhodens, Eapmon, Lake)
Getting to and from the crime scene without anyone noticing (seems to indicate they may park their car some distance away from the crime scene and approach & leave on foot).(Rhodens, Newsome, Eapmon, Lake)
Familiar with/skilled at navigating homes and outdoor areas in the dark (Rhodens, Newsome, Eapmon, Lake was early morning 7:10 am)
Willing to kill young teen relatives of target victims (Rhoden, Newsome)
Killer takes evidence from the crime scene (Rhodens, Eapmons)
Some victims had been dealing in oxycontin and/or oxycodone (Lake, Newsome)
Intruders at home several days before murders (Lake, possibly Rhodens)
Threatening phone calls in days before murders (Lake, possibly Rhodens)
Letter left at one home before murder (Lake)
Victims had been arrested, worked with law enforcement to lessen sentence (Lake, Newsome, Eapmon)
