Continuing the discussion from
@pocketaccent and
@Amonet, I think he thought he was going to get away with the perfect murder. He would put them in oil tanks to eventually rot away. He may have chosen tanks that were not currently operational so the bodies would be there longer before any oil was sent downline. I think he would have figured out a way to get SW in a tank if he had not run out of time.
Unfortunately for CW, he did not use that time window of 2:00AM to 5:00AM very well. If he had been more like neatnik SW, he would have remade the MBR bed immediately (
20 min); put the sheets in the washer (
5 min) that was only a few steps from MBR; made the girls’ beds (
15 min); packed up bodies (20 min.); moved bodies to garage (
15 min); gone downstairs and collected the shoes and suitcase and put them in her big closet (
5 min); taken her cell phone and purse and put in the garage next to bodies to take with him to dispose of (
5 min); Febrezed (
10 min) everything FWIW; tidied up the place like SW would have it (
15 min); removed killing clothes and put in washer being sure to use Oxyclean / put sheets in dryer first (
5 min); take a shower and dress for work (
20 min); nap or whatever until time to get the truck and load the bodies. All of this would have taken approximately 1.5 hours.
As WS’ers know, very few crimes are perfect and this one was definitely a failure - thankfully.
Thank heavens there are friends like NUA in the world. We don’t need make believe heroines; we have NUA.
