All I can say about this case is that the LACK of information at this point is positively deafening.
Am I the only one who thinks it's almost crazy, for as high profile a murder as this was, that not ONCE, has someone close to the Dermonds come out to speak?!? -not a family member, a colleague, a friend?!?
This family, by all accounts, was lovely and witty and active in their 80's. Imagine their energy when they were younger! And yet, not once has an old pal or neighbor come forward to say that "oh yes, I lived next door to them in Phoenix. Lovely family, who would do such a thing?!?" Or in Connecticut. Or in Sandy Springs.
Never to my knowledge did any of those places write a bit in their paper about the Dermond's connection to their town.
Never to my knowledge has ANYONE been publicly interviewed, even just an acquaintance of the couple, about the Dermonds.
The reward is ridiculously low for a wealthy couple who should have decades of friendships with other wealthy couples! (Putting aside the family contributing)
And why, with the mass amount of media and human interest surrounding this case has 48 Hours Mystery or some similar show not aired a comprehensive piece??
My mind lingers on several things...the missing or mangled finger of Russell, the lack of community ties, the comments about how surprised the neighbors would be when they find out how old the couple really was. And, of course, the gruesome manner in which their deaths were carried out.
