Personally, I feel this was more drug related (vents removed) than a robbery given the only thing missing was $80 from a jar, WHICH I believe was not cash per se, but foreign currency and/or dinars...plus if they were looking for a safe that didn't exist,

Someone suggested that maybe Lisa was hiding in the MB closet & that's why there were holes in the walls. Maybe that is the case, not sure? But if she was getting ready to change, i.e. reason for "interband pants" wouldn't she be changing in her own bedroom? Why weren't the other bedrooms rummaged through? Did the perps hear the doorbell & leave before they got to go through the whole house?
I don't know, I'm beating my head against a wall like most other Mockers.

Thats where the panic button for the alarm system was. LS ran in there to activate it and the perps persued her. IMO

Most logical scenario, and probably where she fought for her life. Does a panic button require a key to access?

And not really integrated into their house alarm. Although it was from the same security company. So where has it been established that the Straubs had a "panic button" in the master bedroom closet?

Parents don't usually keep that kind of stuff around when they have an open house
policy.

URBAN MYTH. It happens.

"Hey bro - Lisa lives in an uptown richtown suburban house. Straubs gotta
have some serious stuff hidden in that house.

Remember, we are talking about perps who are used to having 'serious s**t in
their own houses on occasion, so it is beyond them to think everyone doesn't.
They don't know about Bank Safety Deposit Boxes, etc. They deal in
THEIR OWN REALITY which is different than that of a suburban family.

So they decide to do a home invasion. Someone instigates it and someone
Johnny knows goes along with the plan.

Unfortunately, they got their wires crossed and Johnny and Lisa were at the home
when they decided to pull off the job.

It wasn't revenge originally, but once they were identified, they went berzerk.

All hell broke loose and carnage occurred.

pspence, I understand that you are not a personal friend of TW and that you contacted her solely to find out what she knew in connection with the murders, and to invite her onto Mock to answer questions.

But I am wondering if you could help us understand more about the world in which TW lives and the way in which its participants seem to communicate in a sort of brutal, violent and a criminal vernacular, by telling us a little more about the experience of being in contact with her. For example:

a) When you first contacted TW, did she write back to you in the vernacular which she and her friends appear to employ on FaceBook and MySpace, or in the ordinary English that most of the rest of us use to communicate with each other?

b) Have you had personal or professional experience before this contact in dealing with people who speak in this peculiar way; if so, can you tell us about it, and offer your impressions as to what motivates them to speak this way to each other - is it lack of education, ignorance, a desire to fit in, or what?

c) When you corresponded with her, did you ask her whether she had any idea who may have committed these murders?; if so, did she respond affirmatively or negatively?

d) Are there any additional questions you asked her, which we on Mock neglected to ask her?; if so, what were her answers to your questions?

e) You have read her motto on her FaceBook page, when it was available, which said approximately: "I'm a down ass bitch and I rides wit my niggas and my bitches." and perhaps also read my attempt at an interpretation as follows: "I am loyal to my friends and will not reveal to law enforcement any knowledge I may have of criminal activity by them." Do you agree with my attempt at a translation or do you have a different interpretation of that motto?

f) In your mind, how does that motto square with your confidence that she is telling the truth, and the whole truth, surrounding the murders?

Thanks very much for your further contribution towards our group efforts at thinking this through.
