A point that has always had me thinking. It is continuously reported that nothing was taken from the house. Who would know that?
The Dermonds children were grown and had not lived at home for years. They would be aware of the fine China, crystal, silver, art, mom’s jewelry that was in the home as they grew up. However, once they moved out, their knowledge of what was purchased or given to their parents as gifts would be hazy.
My three adult children would have no idea what valuables are missing from my house unless it was something they had noticed or commented on at a visit.
One more thing, in my area, when a house is staged, the interior is cleared of all uncessary items, junk and clutter and stored off site.
Did the Dermond kids go through the box’s in storage? It seemed things were done in such a rush manner, did everything get checked and logged in?
IMO, we are all overlooking a minute clue that is sitting in plain site waiting to be discovered.
