I think calling 911 and sending police to the house within an hour and the police going immediately is unusual and suspicious. I think it means that his work knew something we don't know. His office opened at 8:00 and the first 911 call was made at 8:58. The coworkers were already on route to his house by then (google maps says 1 hour and 15 minute drive) and made the second call from the house at 10:03 after seeing his body.


It isn’t unusual at all. Also with first patient scheduled at 8, he more likely would’ve been due at the office anywhere from 7:15-7:45 or so. A lot of offices have a brief morning meeting before the schedule begins (the dentist would not typically stroll in at 7:55 for an 8:00 patient- especially without calling to give the staff a quick heads up). They were likely already calling him by 8:00, and probably started calling his spouse pretty shortly thereafter after getting no response. It really isn’t the type of job where someone is just randomly late. Or ever late at all. If he is late and not answering his phone, & his spouse isn’t answering hers either, something bad has very likely happened.

By the time they called the police and started the drive to his home, he’d been missing for about an hour. Long enough for them to call around, and long enough that he or his wife should’ve responded by then.

That said, they were probably more worried about an auto or household accident- not a murder.



One of them probably committed the murders.

I'm seeing someplace that the boss called while on vacation in Florida.

Anyway my suspicion are 1. Boss/coworker 2. Family buy possibly not the ex the family was quick to blame and BIl is downplaying the domestic call the bil also seems to love media attention.

Someone known to couple motive drugs or money distant third lovers quarrel

In most places even if you had a very reliable employee, you wouldn’t be at their house with police almost immediately after they didn’t show up for work.


I tend to agree with this.

How many times does the way medical offices work need to be explained to you?

I've worked in many medical offices and no a boss wouldn't call the police while from vacation because an employee was late.
The police would be the first call. Probably not even the second or third.

Surprising that they still don’t have leads on who did it.

If a work colleague or the boss was involved, the relatively quick call to police would make sense if the perpetrator was being careful to not harm the children. I recognize as I write this that having this level of concern for children may be at odds with being a murderer. It is possible, though, that someone wanted them dead and called quickly to ensure the children's safety but still so many questions...

My best friend’s dad didn’t show up to his law firm one morning and wasn’t answering the phone. Wife was out of town. His legal secretary of 20 years went to his house, car in the driveway, nobody answering the door. She called the police, they entered and he was dead from a heart attack. It is not unusual for coworkers to be concerned when something happens that is very out of character.

Huh? Wouldn’t call the police but the police would be the first call?

My husband many years ago in the DC area was sent to an employees home to check on a work colleague that hadn't shown up. Car was in the driveway and thing looked weird. He called his boss who called the guy's brother in Florida. The brother called a neighbor who had a key, neighbor couldn't find the key but looked in windows and thought he saw possibly someone on the floor. Brother gave permission for the police to enter, they thought medical emergency. Guy was there and on the floor dead, probable stroke or heart attack.

1. Nobody said it's unusual for coworkers to be concerned.

2. It's unusual for the first call to
be police

3. Even in your example the coworker stopped by first before calling the police

Why would a boss who was on vacation call the police?


Maybe an office manager actually at the office. Maybe . Even then it seems like it would be more reasonable for a coworker to drive by and check before calling the police.

Bottom line some of you don't want to consider the coworker as a suspect because you are biased he's a dentist same social class as you and you don't believe people in your class in your circles commit murder.
