All the reasons off the top of my head (and from many posters) for not a burglary for theft:
-excessive costuming and gear unnecessary to the task and inhibiting of task of burglary
-wore boots for a fight instead of shoes for running, potential flight
-no bag noted to carry stolen items
-recon of SWFA cameras to avoid detection, with
-failure to recon CoC activities for hour of burglary, activity that occurred for 7.5 months on Mondays at that hour
-statistically odd hour for burglary
-burglar goal is theft and avoid arrest, so likely to flee if discovered, with
-overkill nature of murder to ensure death, instead of bash unconscious/immobilize and flee
-vandalism that does not lead to theft of property, seems purposeless
-arrives with B&E tools for exterior break in
-locates and uses CoC tools in the interior, unnecessary, waste of time
-time spent in kitchen (searching for tools as murder weapons?)
-general purposeless and slow wandering
-excessive calm, followed by extreme violence, return to clear enough thinking to escape undetected
-no reports of crazed fleeing like a speeding car, for an aborted burglary
-no property taken from CoC
-no property taken from MB
-most CoC receipts from collections are in the form of checks and electronic, only small cash amounts
-unknown, but most churches do not keep collections at church overnight, or would have safe
-apparently not a local burglar known to police (the usual suspects round up has produced nothing)
-illogical to avoid arrest for burglary to trade-up to murder during burglary felony
Please add! Thanks.
I'll go through this:
-excessive costuming and gear unnecessary to the task and inhibiting of task of burglary
True, but it also has worked to conceal the identity.
-wore boots for a fight instead of shoes for running, potential flight
We don't know what kind of shoes were worn.
-no bag noted to carry stolen items
LE has never said there wasn't a bag. We don't know.
-recon of SWFA cameras to avoid detection, with
We don't know if the perp reconned SWFA
-failure to recon CoC activities for hour of burglary, activity that occurred for 7.5 months on Mondays at that hour
True, but it is also the most likely time to rob a church because of the collections.
-statistically odd hour for burglary
Statistically, the most likely time to rob a church.
-burglar goal is theft and avoid arrest, so likely to flee if discovered, with
Fear that Missy would call 911 and be caught. It would be there 3rd strike and they don't want to go to prison.
-overkill nature of murder to ensure death, instead of bash unconscious/immobilize and flee
Maybe
-vandalism that does not lead to theft of property, seems purposeless
True, vandalism seems purposeless but vandalism still happens frequently.
-arrives with B&E tools for exterior break in
How is a robber supposed to get in?
-locates and uses CoC tools in the interior, unnecessary, waste of time
Sometimes, robbers fix themselves a meal and watch the television.
-time spent in kitchen (searching for tools as murder weapons?)
Irrelevant
-general purposeless and slow wandering
If it doesn't make sense for a robber, it doesn't make sense for a murderer, either.
-excessive calm, followed by extreme violence, return to clear enough thinking to escape undetected
See above.
-no reports of crazed fleeing like a speeding car, for an aborted burglary
Perhaps, not seen or there were reports and we don't know. But also, if it doesn't make sense for a robber, it doesn't make sense for a murderer, either.i
-no property taken from CoC
Because it was interrupted.
-no property taken from MB
Because it was interrupted and avoiding arrest became more important than robbery.
-most CoC receipts from collections are in the form of checks and electronic, only small cash amounts
Link?
-unknown, but most churches do not keep collections at church overnight, or would have safe
We don't know what they do with their collections and the robber may not have known either.
-apparently not a local burglar known to police (the usual suspects round up has produced nothing)
This is the first I've heard that the usual suspects were rounded up. Link?
-illogical to avoid arrest for burglary to trade-up to murder during burglary felony
Criminals do illogical things. It is illogical to rob a church and it is illogical to murder Missy.
