nothing appeared tossed or out of place. and the nature of the killings gary was shot as well as beaten. spoke volumes to the prosecutor assigned to the case, todd myers. it seems to be an element of personal anger in this thing, todd? this close quartered killing of somebody with a weapon in your hand. yes, it definitely seemed to be personal type killing. just the brutality involved. investigators determined jan and gary were likely killed the night before. but search as they might for the murder weapons, the gun, the bludgeoning instrument, officers came up empty handed. but they did discover some unusual evidence. around jan s body, there were small white flakes of a substance that were obviously either from the murder weapon, or on the murderous body. there were similar flakes found by the wound to gary s head.
targeted a specific person because they knew them. they may have targeted them because they followed them, drove them, had some passing contact with them. but i don t see this as a very close up and personal relationship type killing. which would say it wa wasn t a crime of passion. to that point as the killer came in the house, obviously look in one bedroom. if the target was there, if that s what was happening, and they kill both people in the room, why go to the other bedroom and commit another crime, or if they weren t in the first bedroom, why not leave it alone, go to the target s bedroom. but you have two different bedrooms, four people dead. to your point, it seems like it was something other than a crime of passion. this seems to me to be someone who wanted to kill. that s why i say there needs to be a team, there probably are by now, looking at other murders around the country that are similar. ted bundy hit in four or
