Is it possible that she was having an affair with JNR and the husband came home and found them? Maybe he was on a trip or working overnight?

It could be a mental health issue. I have a family member with schizophrenia, and he often thinks that women he meets are coming onto him even when they’re not. He develops relationships in his head, he had some times he thinks the women have done something bad to him, and he gets angry. I have always worry that he would do something to harm someone, yet there’s really nothing we can do.

Found him on FB. Dude is (was) mentally ill.

Yep, for sure. I'll wait for further police updates, but my guess is the husband's version of events is correct.

Not with the nanny there. This seems like a case of bad luck. Either she opened the door for a stranger or they crossed paths and his mental illness led to this. Guessing with little to go on, obviously.

What would you advise women do when they encounter someone like this?

I believe "no forced entry" could also mean the door was not locked/secured?

I am very sorry because I know it's difficult. Still, I think we should be rethinking long-term hospitalization for such individuals.

PP here I totally agree (and thank you). Sadly some of these issues come out after they are 18 and its hard to get POA, guardianship, etc. We tried to alert people but since there's no crime, they can't do anything. We just keep documenting in case there's an opportunity to get this person help.

They wouldn't say no forced entry if they meant he walked in an unlocked door. Because no forced entry automatically makes people think they were known to onwe another.

Christine was the nicest and most generous person I have ever met, and I am deeply sad and shocked with this tragedy.

Is that why he had a gun in the house?

yes, he would have a gun as part of his job

He worked for the IRS. A bean counter with a gun?

An IRS Special Agent does carry a gun.

Still struggling to understand what type of tax enforcement requires a gun

OMG, it's not that hard to figure out.

1. The first 911 call came in from the au pairs phone and then it hung up. Then she called again about 10 minutes later and she started to talk and then the husband grabbed the phone. That seems highly suspicious to me. I think she was trying to call because she saw the husband doing some thing, but she was scared and hung up.
2. Husband refused to the police, which indicates either had something to hide, or was waiting for his lawyer.
3. the wife’s Instagram account shows their Christmas cards. There’s never a picture of the husband and wife. It’s only of the kid.

It’s always weird when it’s only the children on cards, as if one of the parents is planning to divorce.

Huh? DH and I are happily married. Our card has always had just the kids (or kid when there was only one) for 12 years running ... I'd say the same is true for 75% of the cards we receive.

This is perhaps the easiest part of the entire case to understand. IRS agents conduct raids on people who don't pay their taxes and are ordered to seize assets (houses, cars, jewelry, cash, etc.). You don't think that perhaps there is an element of danger to that job? You think there is 100% peaceful compliance when criminals get their assets siezed?

Okay, wow. Calm down there. It was a simple comment. I'm well aware of efforts to seize assets, etc., for those not paying their taxes. I didn't know that was actually done by someone employed by IRS; I thought it might done by another federal LE arm, like the FBI. I've never evaded tax payments so I simply didn't know and honestly, with what seems like a lax approach to crime enforcement nowadays, it struck me as odd that we would arm IRS agents. I mean, I don't expect 100% peaceful compliance with ANY type of criminal but it also strikes me that there are many ways to seize assets beyond a knock at the door by an armed official. Are we suddenly championing armed officials for non-violent crimes?

PP here. Sadly, I truly get it.
