Is it at all possible they weren't supposed to die? I've asked myself that more than once.

Those kids don't appear to have a mark on them, no, I didn't see Lisa but I cannot imagine her parents letting her be viewed if she was flawed.

I think I'm forgetting a lot of what I've read & reading this thread looking for bits & pieces of what I question seems daunting. Was the evidence taken from the home listed? I recall talk of steak knives recently. Bah! I feel like the member that asked for cliff notes.

this link mentions what was taken:

http://abclocal.go.com/wtvg/story?sectio...id=7940106

from the link above - The list goes on, showing, in the master bedroom, investigators took dinars, currency of Iraq and other countries. Throughout the house, they gathered DNA swabs.

Probably making too much of it, but gathering DNA swabs, throughout the house, makes it sound like lots of blood, maybe ?? Why not say, gathering fingerprints? I'm letting my mind wander...

edited to add - forgot my other thought...about the dinars. Does anyone think there was blood on the currency ?? Why take them as evidence?

maybe they took the dinar for possible prints? i would guess they were out somewhere and they maybe thought they'd been handled by whomever ransacked the room.

My you both rest in paradise and receive justice soon, Johnny and Lisa.

When Tiffany was here and posting, I put up this picture of Lisa:

There was not one peep from Tiffany. No, "Oh, Lisa :(". No, "Wasn't she beautiful?". Nothing. I found that interesting.

If the Dinars were out of place and left behind it may mean the perps handled the bills and it do well to dust them for fingerprints

Thanks, LC.

So sweet. They went on vacation together. They look like they really love each other. I like the one of them walking on the beach, too.

They just look so full of life...
This is absolutely what gets me, being a parent of 2, how do you ever even begin to understand something like this, when just a moment ago, they had everything ahead of them, and then you hear plastic bags over their heads and now God knows what else... I would be so devastated I don't even know if I could recover! I really wish the Clarkes and Straubs some peace if only for a moment! The 2 most horrible ways anyone could imagine to find out too, Johnny's father finds them and the Straubs are on their 25th anniversary trip and had just left!!

I know what you mean! I can certainly understand why the Straub's haven't spoken to the media. They must be shatteredSigns_173

Well according to Tiffany, Johnny/Lisa asked her on the phone if she wanted to come over for a little bit- this was AFTER Johnny had already picked up Lisa. Tells me if Maytee is right, that what Tiffany was allegedly talking to Johnny about, was not about an invite to come over, but something else.
That's true, and didn't TW also say on here that no one else was supposed to come over that night..I can't remember but did she also mention that no one knew she/they were going over to Lisas either?

Curious after you type you post, click on Preview Post, and the smileys will come up on the left side of your post. First put your cursor where you want the smiley in your post then double click on the smiley you want. Then before you post hit Preview Post again to see if it is there and if it is where you want it.

wish I knew a man (single) who liked those cars going around in circles.
I know them all and my son will call me from work and say, "Mom, I
have a fifty dollar bet on these three questions, asking me who drives
what car, who sponsors or owns another car, etc." He has won some
good money that way. lol You can take the girl out of the country but

Lisa Straub - Injustice A major investigation into why and who killed Lisa Straub and Johnny Clarke in Springfield township is underway. Investigators discovered white baggie pieces, a light blue lighter and a Ziploc bag on the kitchen floor. In the home of Lisa Straub on various kitchen countertops a digital scale, two knives and central security documents were found.

The list of collected evidence goes on, including a key with 5-4-4 stamped on it under the body of Lisa Straub. The items were seized -- taken as evidence -- during a search of the home owned by Lisa Straub's parents. Throughout the house, they gathered DNA swabs.

They also found a key with 5-4-4 stamped on it under the body of Lisa Straub. The warrant also describes black/pink interband pants under Straub's neck. Her wrists were taped together, but not her ankles. Johnny Clarke's ankles were taped up.

That's one of many details investigators are trying to sort through in the search for a killer or killers. Johny Clarke has a troubled past including time spent in prison. As prayers go out to the family of Johnny, the family is probaly asking themselves if they could have done something to prevent this. Clarke’s mother certainly has not lived her life as a good example for her son. As speculation surrounds who John Clarke may have told the house’s owners were out of town, one has to wonder, should it also be asked who his mother could have told?

Does anybody know how long Tiffany was "friends" with Johnny and Lisa?? I know Tiffany's friend, Bre and her boyfriend were long time friends of Johnny's.

Johnny's Mother: "I want to know where my son and his girlfriend are at. I want to know if they got abducted by whoever tried to assault them and rob them."


Yes, I see lots of people on here think Maytee knew something was going down before it happened. I struggle with this. I feel like she was saying this just to try and escalate the situation to 911 dispatch since LE wasn't doing too much. But, why, why would Maytee have used those words? Did someone threaten her that they were going to kidnap and/or harm her son?

very odd choice of words, indeed. i can't decide where i stand with maytee. sometimes i feel like she knows something more (even if she is not involved directly) and sometimes i just chalk everything up that she says to her being a little loony (and grieving the loss of her son).

people have been saying it all along and i'm going to repeat it... there is something that is just not right about this whole thing. it's unsettling... especially when you look closely at some of the possible players. i think that's part of what makes this case so intriguing to many.

Every article and every friend says Johnny did not get along with his mother.
Some say they did not even speak. How then would she know where the
key to Straub's house is and see people use it several times? She has
stalked before, I stay she stalked this house I am not saying she set up
her son but I am saying he was at the wrong place at the wrong time
and he was the direct link to her. So when the 'stash' was not in the house
when the folk to whom Maytee and possibly John owed big money to,
then the "if it takes a 100 years" philosophy took life.

Note - I always thought Johnny knew the first person (if what Tiff says is
true) but did not know the second person. In gangs, friends and enemies
can be one and the same.

PS. I will find it, but I trul believe that Maytee was the VERY first
person to say the word "safe" in the polie and tv interviews. That was
the red herring to me.

totally curious... i completely see your reasons for thinking maytee had even a little bit of something to do with this. i have to admit my mind has wandered that way a few times... BUT what keeps sending me back to another direction is tiff. she's full of it. her stories change and don't add up and i don't see the connection between tiff and maytee so i can't see how they are BOTH involved.
as a side note... IMO i think maytee is deranged and from what i've gathered through others' testimony etc... she seems as though she was probably a terrible mother and example to her children.

I flip flop a lot, about Maytee, but I still think it's odd she said the bodies were "in the basement" ??? I asked yesterday, if the bodies were found in the living/dining/kitchen area .... I THOUGHT the Uncle said that's where they were, but I could be wrong. If they were, why on earth would Maytee say clearly, they were in the basement?

Reply
My apologies if this has already been discussed and answered....

I am really curious as to why LE is stating that the couple was murdered between 1am-4am.

Tiffany was supposedly on the phone around 11pm when things began to happen. So, does this mean that they are discrediting Tiffany's timeline, or do they believe the killers were there for 2+ hours before killing Lisa and Johnny??

Also, I believe the bodies were discovered at 3:50am, and were already cold to the touch.

I'm just confused as to why the possible time of death begins at 1am instead of 11pm.

This was posted at another site I go to for updates:
TAKE IT FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH!

1ST. PERSON:
I was just told to be careful and to keep my doors locked because the police have a suspect that lives a few streets away. They questioned the neighbors as to when they last saw him and said he is a suspect in a double homicide. They have been there several times to arrest him and he has not been home. I can't believe this! I was just told to be careful and keep my doors locked 2 weeks ago because there was a murder suspect a few streets away. The next thing I knew the area was swarming with undercover agents and dogs..... They arrested the man that shot and killed his boss from that fork lift company that very evening!

2N PERSON:
sounds like you need to move

1ST PERSON:
Believe me the thought has crossed my mind more than once. I've lived here for four years and during this time it's been very peaceful. It's just been the last few weeks that it's gotten a little crazy. Someone busted the neighbors door in a few weeks ago at 8 in the evening. I heard the noise. It sounded like a car crash it was so loud. She was in bed(she has to get up early) and came out yelling "What the hell" It scared them and they took off.. She doesn't own any modern eletronics and has a 15 yr old tv. She said she's going to put a sign up that says if you want my tv just ask... Don't break my door. How Sad!!!

2ND PERSON:
Adding. if you're referring to the suspect in the Clarke, Straub murders, what are the initials of the suspect in question, if you don't mind my asking?

1ST PERSON:
I was told that it is concerning the murder of Lisa and Johnny. I have no idea of what his initials are. I don't believe the neighbors know him personally. From what I was told he knows he's a suspect and has been hiding out. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that if this guy has anything to do with the case they'll find him soon.

WOW, I WONDER IF THIS IS TRUE???
