speculation: i feel like he was in the garage the whole time, its huge and it may have a man cage or maybe he was working on his bike. he "stumbled" maybe he was dranking out there, or fell asleep? he returned to main house and caught them in there.
possibly, but they also snuck out after midnight from hour and a half away.
when i looked at it, the videos were gone.
I missed it -- was this before DM was named a victim?
i think so.... but im not sure. it could have been around that time.
It was immediately following. There were only eight or so videos from a decade or so ago, mostly shooting and extolling the virtues of Kalashnikov type 7.62mm automatic rifles which he referred to as the AK-47, including one video in which he hip fired using a bump grip to achieve a semblance of fully automatic fire.
Yes. The videos gave an impression that an attack on him would be "kill or be killed" which is a popular macho image to try to advance supposedly to intimidate and discourage but I can't say I think much of it, as it actually encourages any would-be attacker to initiate with lethal force.
The victim also had a German shepherd. But I suppose the dog did not respond because it knew Gabriel. And it sounds like the perpetrators had already taken possession of the firearms before the victim got home. I'm still trying to figure out what possibly could have led up to this. jmo
Which makes me wonder if GD is, actually, a son who is close to his mother, and felt compassionate towards her. It doesn’t need to be a DV case between his mom and McCaw, but boys at this age are protective of their moms. If he felt that mom was not respected, it could have been enough to trigger him. It might have played a bigger role in the whole situation than guns or whatever was in McCaw’s safe. (Not condoning what has happened at all, just remembering how common this dynamic is).
I wonder if his mom and the ex bf were battling over belongings or money, or debts, after they split up?
I am very curious who picked his mail on Monday, when he was probably already dead?
I wonder if he and his ex used to use the same PO Box? Or did she maybe sometimes pick up his mail for him?
So, if his was the only motorcycle in the area, where did the murderous biker gangs that descended on Orting and beat a kid into committing a crime come from?
I don’t know. Obviously on Monday McCaw could not call anyone and ask to pick up his mail. Whoever did it probably had reasons to do it. JMO. On Friday, GD disappeared from Olympia. The distance between Orting and Olympia is about 1 hr. Inconvenient for a shared mailbox. Of course, boys could pick up mail, since they left the camping site for the second time on Sunday, 11+ AM, and their whereabouts are unaccounted for (we don’t know for how long, maybe they were still in the area on Monday). But several people paid attention to McCaw’s mail being picked up on Monday. Was it totally innocent, related to an alibi, or was the mail itself of interest?
