I saw a video clip attached to a news report that I believed was from a link on this thread. Holly explained that the attackers were probably not regular visitors to the house because they came to the front door rather than the side door which they normally used. Holly speculated that Kathy was shot right after she opened the door for someone who knocked. She also thought Samantha was fleeing towards the side door when they got to her.Known facts, from what I can tell, are that the assailant came to the front door (that is not usually used as regular visitors would know to go to the side door) and Katy apparently let them in. She was then shot right at the door. Samantha was hit repeatedly on the head with a hammer near the side door where she may have been attempting to escape.
What is the source for this information?

What she did not go into is the the injuries to Samantha. We don’t know if there were injuries consistent with personal anger directed at Samantha. Earlier in this thread, someone reported that there were rumors that her hair was cut off. This would be very important but there is no confirmation.
The big question in this crime is whether either or both women were the target. It seems that Kathy was killed quickly and efficiently before they moved on to Samantha. There is no indication that she was the specific target or that any particular anger was directed at her. Samantha’s injuries are the critical clue.
I may have been wrong about the weapon being a hammer. It may have been an unknown blunt object
I didn't know there was such a thing as a "cell phone jammer." I hope the article above helps in this case.
Interesting! Also because the Netherland murders were the only ones committed indoors( most likely), what does this mean for the other Bardstown murders? Would a jammer only work within an interior or is it possible Jason, Crystal and Tommy had cell service disabled as well? Not sure that JE had a chance since he wasn’t even able to reach for his firearm but Tommy’s grandson indicated Tommy saw something and that combined with the fact that his grandson returned to the truck and was able to use his cellphone is hinky to me.I just saw this from months ago and jammers are relatively easy to make or obtain. It’s especially easy to jam up a small home network, which is what they would’ve had. The jammer transmits on the same frequencies as the phones transmit and disables them from communicating with a tower.

Scary to think we could lose service so easily to a jammer! How are we to protect ourselves if this is the case? SMH at the times we live in! Ugh
We are coming up on the 5th anniversary of the murder of these two women. Has this case gone completely cold? The black Impala lead seemed to dead end. Eerily silent from LE and media.
I would like to see that clip . Eternal gratitude to whoever provides the link. It's the second time that someone talks about a hammer as the murder weapon, and I still do not know the source.
It is very likely that one of the two women was murdered in the living room.
Muy Curioso, I did a search for a video clip (haven’t watched it yet) and found this article with a video and - lo and behold - you and WS are mentioned and credited. You probably already knew. But the article is a great refresher for anyone new to this case.

Thanks for chiming in and I hope you’re well! I promise to be the first to let you know if and when any new info is made available to us!I did not know anything about that article. It is very good, and well researched. It explains practically everything that is known about the case. Very little, unfortunately.
On Wednesday, Kentucky State Police will address a 2014 double homicide in Nelson County.
