Days before his wife and baby daughter were shot to death, Neil Entwistle searched the Internet for ways to kill people, authorities said.
He also looked for escort services and Web sites that offer help finding sexual partners, according to search warrant documents released Monday.
Entwistle, 27, was arrested in his native England last week and charged in the Jan. 20 slayings of his wife, Rachel, and their 9-month-old daughter, Lillian, at their home in the Boston suburb of Hopkinton.
U.S. marshals are expected to bring Entwistle back to Massachusetts this week. A spokesman for the office said Tuesday he had no information on the date or time.
The documents depict Neil Entwistle as a secretive man who was sinking deep into debt without telling his family. He had not worked since he and his wife moved to Massachusetts from England with their daughter about five months before the deaths. His wife, who had been a teacher, also was not working.
"It appears that Neil and Rachel Entwistle had accumulated a sizable amount of debt and may have been living well beyond their means," State Trooper Michael Banks said in an affidavit.
A judge ordered the search warrant documents released at the request of news organizations, over the objections of the district attorney, who said the material could compromise her investigation.
A search of Entwistle's computer revealed he searched the Internet for information about suicide, euthanasia and "killing people with a knife," on Jan. 16 and 17, investigators said.
The same week, he obtained the names and addresses of various escort services. He also visited a Web site called "Adult Friend Finder," which investigators said helps subscribers find sexual partners.
Entwistle is accused of using his father-in-law's handgun to shoot Rachel in the head and Lillian in the abdomen. Authorities said he may have planned to commit suicide, but instead fled to his parents' home in England.
Prosecutors said Monday they did not know if Entwistle had hired an attorney in Massachusetts. He may be assigned a lawyer if he declares himself indigent.
Yeah, that's a great motive for shooting your wife and baby.
Perhaps we're going to see the too-easy credit/too many credit card offers defense here.
The Michael Schiavo legacy.
Nice guy.
BTW, I am usually turned off by these Greta Van Sustern stories, but this was too blatent to ignore.
He searched the word "killing"????
So this does what, makes him guilty?
Does this mean that everyone that loks at online porn is a rapist?
I do not give a rat's ass about the Entwistles or what kind of defense is coming. Unfortunately however, I'm going to be subjected to this little saga 24 hours a day until the verdict comes in.
Perhaps, if we didn't live in an entertainment culture dominated by media whores and the 24 hour new cycle we wouldn't be going to see anything ... < /rant off>

No. Killing his wife makes him guilty. This is just circumstantial evidence, which when taken along with the fact that HIS WIFE IS DEAD, makes him very high on the suspect list.
Now that you mention it, I probably WOULD watch that junkfood "news" show if it was "On The Record with Lori Dhue."
You betcha!

Um, I just had many very un-christian thoughts seeing that pic of Laurie Dhue.
She is some lucky guys Valentine.
I believe that FReeper Martin Fierro is married to Lori Dhue (whom he's seen naked).
How to solve a Murder 101
Step one - Is the victim married?
Step two - If Yes, does the spouse have a credible alibi?
Step Three - If, no, start there.
I heard someplace that something like 60-75% of the murders of spouses are committed by the spouse. The police start there because the odds strongly favor the spouse being the culprit.
In the OJ case, they started with him because he had no alibi, not because he was a black man (sort of) who was married to a beautiful white woman.

Incidently, this is a picture of Marty.
Hey, I've seen her naked too.
Oh, wait. you mean in real?
