No one answered my question if there was a way to have a card reader read the code to the lock box like it done on gas pumps and ATM’s by criminals
My guess is that the murderers knew there were no cameras. Who would even imagine that billionaires did not have cameras
As much as I gather, a card reader is typically an overlay precisely fitted on top of the terminal keypad which is why LE frequently advise people to be observant to what appears abnormal.
All the realtors lockboxes I’ve ever seen, somewhat anciently practical and basic in appearance, I can’t imagine how anything could be attached and go unnoticed. However the front side with the fairly large number keys offers no privacy whatever, if someone is standing behind a realtor chooses to watch a realtor key in the code.
That’s my personal experience anyway. I recall going to an open house at the time it was advertised to begin. There stood a frustrated realtor at the front door, cellphone in one hand speaking with someone who was obviously giving her the wrong code, stooped at the waist eyeballing the lockbox as she carefully tried various different combinations. I turned my back but had I not, I could’ve easily observed the code that eventually opened the box, entirely unknown to her as nobody has eyes in the back of their head.
My theory, something like that occured and the realtor involved had absolutely no inkling that he or she’d been observed keying in the code.
ETA this as well -
....“There are 100 possibilities of how one enters a home without evidence of forced entry,” family lawyer Brian Greenspan said Tuesday.
......“Original photographs of the exterior of the scene (showed) a real-estate lock box which are notoriously easy to open. Open it, go to Canadian Tire and get the key made, return the key to the lock box and you have a key to the house.”...
