If you have a copy of that list you mentioned, I’d be interested in reading it.
Hi Lex ..... I was not able to find my list from last year .... darn !!! .... it was pretty good ..... all I did was use logic to compile all the reasons a "professional" would never ever risk undertaking a double murder in a setting like that.
I was prompted to make the list after reading this quote from the Wall Street Journal .....
"The Greenspan team came to believe the crime scene had been staged , and was likely the work of hired professionals"
A professional killer would do something fast and quick , and if indeed he was contracted to do it in the home and "leave a message" (the staging) he failed completely because to this day nobody knows what the heck the message is
A professional killer would have to spend a lot of time getting to know the home and habits of the Shermans .... not easy to do without being an obvious stalker .... not to mention possible security cameras all over the place.
Some folks here think a killer may have posed as a prospective real estate customer and could have toured the home , and got a chance to see the layout and check for security systems . Trouble is that would require the killer to expose himself to real estate agents , witnesses , security video footage , standard real estate background checks to see if he could purchase (afford) the house , etc etc .... a huge amount of exposure.
Speaking of cameras (The Wall Street Journal article) said ...... "The Sherman home wasn't gated , but security cameras pointed outside" ..... Now if that is true the police would be all over it , and maybe they have , but did not find anything linked to an outside stranger coming to the home.
But that is all beside the point , because there is absolutely no way a professional killer would expose himself to all that risk of being caught or identified.
There are a lot more logical reasons it is unlikely to be the work of a professional killer ..... Everybody please feel free to add to this list
