It was a story worth telling, and I can totally relate. My younger brother struggled with crack cocaine addiction for many years- and everyone in my family just knew, that if he continued to use drugs, something would happen to him. We stood by him through rehab, but within a few months, he was using crack again.
One day he showed up at my home in a state of shock, and looked like he had lost all color, just totally pale. He told me that just hours before coming to my place, he had a gun to his head, that someone was about to shoot him, and he barely talked him out of it.
Still, this was not enough for him to quit. When he ended up in prison over this addition, I was almost relieved, because I hoped that after doing 2 years, it might be long enough for him to get past the addiction.
But he got out, started hanging back with his old crowd, and went right back to the drugs, and another prison sentence eventually.

Just a couple of years ago, I got that call I prayed would never come, and once I was able to stop screaming, and actually speak, the first thing I asked was " who did this? who killed my brother?"
I was convinced that someone had killed him. And I was wrong.
He died from an overdose of crack cocaine.

But I can totally see, how its easy, to jump to a conclusion, not because of any inside knowledge, other than, you know that this person, is on a dangerous path.
My personal opinion is that Maytee's reaction, was only due to her knowing that her son, had been involved with a lifestyle, and people that could bring him harm and trouble.
I could be wrong, but I truly do not feel that she is involved in this crime.

I dont either.

That's really all we have to go on, now, unless something else is released. If this was a professinal hit, then in my mind, the perps wore gloves.

It is very difficult to use duct tape with gloves on. Jus sayin


Not if you have a tape gun...or something to that effect.

I think thats reaching too far...People only overthink their crimes in
movies.
what was the quote someone posted yesterday or the day before
about simplicity?
It was perfect.

I think LE implied they brought it on themselves with this statement

instigated by actions of the victims.

Am I reading more than should be into that?

I don't believe these killers were so adept as to leave ZERO TRACE. That's begs the question of why would something like this not yield an arrest or a named person of interest. Beats me! Maybe Lady Cop can answer.

i'm sure there was plenty of DNA, prints and trace evidence left at scene. but you have to have those things in a database to match them up. and even then, you need circumstantial evidence to put them there.
and was that evidence there legitimately? the party the night before. Johnny's dad handling bags and tape in his panic upon discovery of the bodies. did anyone else?

that being said, i'm just as surprised as everyone that there have been no arrests yet. but i also believe there will be.

I think there will be too.
I pray that one of the detectives gets this case under his skin and cant
let it go no matter how long it takes to solve it.
I have family and friends in LE, and they do their best in every case, no
doubt, but sometimes a case comes along, and for some reasn, it
becomes personal for them, and never let go til justice is found.

It always makes me laugh when he talks shit about the perp, then go after

Sure you're right, and that is a stretch it's just have a hard time thinking that DNA collected might not match someone in the nationwide database, which I know only time will tell.

well Dick is a retired LEO, and he and i agree based on experience. PolicePolice

Not retired simply Ex. LEO, with enough years to have seen more than my share of crime scenes and investigations to speculate with more than a just little understanding of what's happening.

Hi Dick,

Please elaborate on a question you posed back in the thread about the kitchen was an unusual place to commit this crime and where something like this would statistically take place.

back bedroom,basement,garage, or some location away from the home.

and back then, in that post, i felt the kitchen was logical since they (the killers) probably entered through garage to kitchen door. and surprised the victims there.

Of course murders can and do happen anywhere this is just MO, and yours is just as credible.

without photo's I don't know if they were found sitting ,contorted from struggling with their bindings, or laying down laid out like they were sleeping.

each provides it's own set of thoughts concerning aspects of the crime.

none of them lead my mind to professionals.

Ummmm...to me that rules out snitching...Lisa wouldn't have been involved in that ...I'm thinking they owed $$, or fronted drugs and not paid back or gave bad dope? what do you all think?

Take all the time you need. Better you should waste your time and not mine. You may want to take an online refresher course in reading comprehension or go to mime school.

I heartily agree. Hence, I must admit that I have become very discouraged by the statement made by the County Detective to the local board.

I'm worried that they are not being clever, just stupid and ill-equipped training-wise to solve this case.

Ah yes, just another drug killing by phantom professionals. (Bull)

I so hope I am wrong about these County detectives. So wish TPD's DB was in charge.

"I learned from a VERY reliable source today that LE knows who the perps were. Suffice to say that some of the recent contributors here were right on the mark.
I think what they're waiting for is DNA evidence to be returned before any arrests are made.
Sadly, what we have heard about LS being tortured is evidently correct. Worse than we've read here I'm told."

I would also like to note that didn't many of the facebook friends with active warrants for unrelated cases get picked up. loss of liberty is a great motivator to get some questions answered.

Okay, so back to the topic...curious as to what your theory is at this point?
