Thanx a bunch mouser, that helps so much. But what about blood in her room? How do we explain the lack of it if she was shot with a '22?

I recall being taught that the best weapons for 'defense' would not include 22's....because while they could just "bounce around" inside, they wouldn't cause enough damage to stop a big guy..

I doubt that there was a firearm present in the VanDam household,but if there was one,the chances are that it would be a .22,simply because .22's are so common. Again,just guessng.

Maybe the steam cleaning of the carpet and the missing Dog bed
could account for that? Naw not possible, but we will never
know for sure because that wasn't investigated.

I have heard tha 22's happen to be a weapon of choice for
professional hit men.

the size is not as important as the placement of the bullet i have shot a 1800 lb horse with a broken leg with a .22 short one in the head it's all over then i have shot a deer weighing maybe 100 lbs with a 30-06 and it up and runs half a mile
