They say this was not a random act. Has anyone in the family stated they know of this guy or his motivations?

No, not that I've heard.  I think they are leaving the possibility open that he worked with/for someone.  We still know very little in regard to details.

^^ That could be it, I thought of that too, but I feel like I've heard that name before.  I Google'd him but no major clues came up...

OK -- so, I'm still gathering and was asked not to speak about certain details.

But at this point, we know that the couple was taped up with painter's tape and stabbed.  The older of the two men used to be married to the male victim's niece.  Apparently he'd been charged with murder before, but I don't know the details.  The two men came to the house earlier in the week and offered to paint the condo for free, but weren't allowed in.  They returned later, robbed and killed them.

If the motive were simply robbery, it seems very risky and brutal, but maybe drugs were involved.

I'm sorry to hear this Dave.

As a former investigator myself, one of the hardest things I had to do was tell family members "I can't tell you anything."  They would wait for you in parking lots, outside your home, office - they know where to find you.  They want answers, tidbits, and they deserve them.  You WANT to tell them things you're working on, however it compromises all areas of everything you're doing.  Loose lips sink ships.  As Hoodie said, the truth / bottom line is the most important thing.

I hope justice prevails for your family in this case.

I ran across this gravedigging.

For an update, both of these guys avoided the death penalty, at least partially at the request of the children of the victims, but they're in jail for the duration.  The trial was finished about a year ago, which was like...10 years or something.  There were a bunch of factors, but if I recall, the defendants turned on each other and wanted to be tried separately so everything slowed up and then COVID halted a bunch of things, as well.

Well that explains why none of the links work. When I first read this I thought it had just happened and only when I got to the last post did I realize this thread is from 2013.

Some of the follow-up links are busted, but that first one is still working for me.

Yeah the first one worked. I was wanting to read the updates that followed and was frustrated that they weren't working.
