I posted earlier. I keep seeing speculation that money is the motive, but I think that lacks a lot of logic in terms out of how this crime has played out. If it turns out to be a family member, I believe motive would be crime of passion. A confrontation. The person felt that something in their own life was threatened--maybe incriminating information about them.

I have no dog in this fight because I think law enforcement has so much more information than we do and I'll just wait on what they have. Everyone is here trying to crib together a theory on crumbs. So much has been withheld from us, so why speculate?


I don't know, why are you speculating it's a crime of passion?

Without speculation there would be no DCUM.

No, the mother bought her own home with her late husband (S’s father) in 1975. Who knows the motive? But it’s not any more far fetched than a random kidnapping for botched ransom.


I'm going with domestic problem with opportunistic ransom demand. They are not the same people.


This is a good guess. They're surfing the fake ransom note wave now.

Well they left after an hour so it doesn’t seem like they found anything.

It DOES seem absurd. That's why anything is possible.

I thought it disconnected from her Apple Watch, not her phone. But it would indicate that she was either too far or it lost connection parentheses Bluetooth turned off” or the Apple Watch was turned off. However, it’s my understanding that the Apple Watch was in fact turned on and charging when police arrived.


She probably charges it when she goes to bed.


Yes, of course, the point is it’s not as if the Apple Watch was turned off, therefore not connected to the pacemaker. Because of this she was most likely out of range.

What on earth, sorry to just state the obvious, but wouldn’t it be difficult to get an overweight 84 year-old into a septic tank?


Not if she was dismembered or acid was used to degrade the body. Terrible I know. Whoever did this needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law

OK thank you sadly that makes more sense.


That makes more sense? On what planet?


It makes more sense that she would’ve been dismembered instead of them, throwing a fat 84-year-old into a small drywell.

Too far away to sync. So if you left your phone at home and went out of range, it would disconnect.
