The Toledo Blade had their archives down for awhile I'm not sure if everything from a year ago is back up and running, The Norwalk Reflector picked up the story and it has all the experts and opinions.
It is possible there are more than 2 thugs involved here we don't know yet, and it is possible a robbery was staged, I think it's very odd to bring in bags and duct tape and they wrapped the bags with duct tape to suffocate them.
I copied what Lisa's uncle had to say.
If the two accused are found guilty as charged only they are to blame for Johnny and Lisa's death.

Jim Verbosky, an uncle of Ms. Straub, said he is certain the killers knew that his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Jeff and Mary Beth Straub, were out of town. He believes the killers had gone to the house to steal a safe containing cash -- a safe, he insists, that didn't exist.
"There is a kitchen with an island and an open eating area that went into an open family room. That was not ransacked, but you could tell there was a fight that ensued there," he said. "Plants were knocked over. Things were broken and knocked over, but upstairs, Mary Beth and Jeff's room was ransacked to the point where it looked like a TV show. All the drawers were out, and they had punched holes in the walk-in closet looking for a safe that never existed. There was no safe."
The Straubs, who were on a Caribbean cruise to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary, went through the house when they returned, and the only thing missing, Mr. Verbosky said, was $84 or so in cash that they'd left in a change jar in their bedroom. Electronics, jewelry, computers were not taken.
"Everything was intact," he said. "Two computers, a laptop, a brand-new flat-screen TV -- everything. If someone is going to rob something and that was their motive, all of their electronics and all that stuff would've been gone."
