“This was
very specific to the victims that were involved," the chief said. "There was nothing at the crime scene that would lead us it believe that anyone outside the victims involved are in any danger."
'We just don't have answers': Mystery surrounds killing of 4 people at North Dakota business
But was there something left to make the chief lean toward the thinking
that no one outside the victims is in danger?
Since there isn’t a direct understanding of motive, I doubt there was some kind of manifesto left or delivered.
I know the pressure is on to solve this and provide info to the media, so
there may be clumsiness on the kind of information released because the investigative team truly can’t reveal too much at this point but want to/have to say something. IMO.
Emphasis mine
First Bolded bit : So, how do they even know that if they haven't any clue ?
No note or message via text ? Nothing ?
Second Bolded bit : If they are open to tips from the public-- does this mean they are dumbfounded as to the 'who' and even the 'why' ?
I'd think the public could
still be in danger.
This is someone(s) who've just murdered 4 people. They (if apprehended) are going to be locked away most likely for the remainder of their days. They aren't going to want anyone trying to turn them in or even ask them any questions.
Have any employees or locals noticed anyone acting out of the ordinary ? or has anyone suddenly left town ?
Third Bolded bit : Agreed that the authorities (in this case the local LE) can't be too careful about releasing some information. I'd doubt they've released very much unintentionally-- as they haven't released much AT ALL.
We still don't know the cod or even tod.
(Deleted as it was answered in above post. )
Interesting that the stepfather called his stepdaughter that morning-- I'd think it was maybe just checking in or plans for the next get together ? (They lived a distance away from the stepdaughter)
So that indicates they were killed sometime that morning....
We still don't know how. I don't even think the nearest relative knows. (stepD.)
Would she have been told by now and just asked to keep it quiet ?
Shot? Stabbed ? Together or were they found separately ?
This is where I'd find it difficult to even show up at work because I'd want the crime scene to be blocked from view. I realize the employees maybe had no choice.
Also --- That part about the 911 call being more of a medical emergency call -- was there unintentional 'clumsiness' ?
As in, was the crime scene walked all over and contaminated by EMT's ,who weren't aware that this was a murder scene ? (Not the first responders' fault !)
Hard to believe this case could grow cold.
Looks like a possibility.
