If memory serves me right (I live in DuPage County, due west from Chicago) Matthew Hale studied to be a lawyer, passed the bar exam, but the legal structure wouldn't let him become one because of his racist, white supremicist views and his World Church. Rejected him on basis of moral turpitude, or some such thing. Didn't meet the standards to become a lawyer (like Bill Clinton, but somehow he slipped through, but I digress). Hale also played violin, and is a very very clever, bright (and therefore much more dangerous) man. I am totally convinced that this was murder by proxy. Hale had her mom and husband bumped off by one of his white supremicist followers. Question is, will the police be able to tie the pieces together and catch the perp. And then tie that perp to Matthew Hale. The cops have their work cut out for them. Meanwhile, my heart goes out to that poor woman. What a horrifying scene to come home to. I truly hope the investigators figure this one out sooner than later (no 30 years to solve it, like the BTK killer, I hope).
Well, that is surely the most likely. ..but we know things are not always, what they seem to be. . .
Putting on a 'tin foil hat' for just a moment. . .maybe a murder; designed to look like a 'right/wing hit'. . .for some long-term, political gain. OR. ..how were they killed?. . .did her husband; who was a Lawyer, have any 'Islamic' clients ?
OR.....Hale/'white supremecist wins. . .or loses by a 'planned double whammy', by his own people. . .ie they wanted a 'permanent sentence' for him to insure he does not return home soon.
. . .or. . . Hale; very intelligent. . .loses him mind and organizes something very stupid and guarantees his permanent jeopardy.
Which is where this begins, actually. . .
Thanks to the Patriot Act .. police are now able to do what only private inspectors were able to do. This gives them a distinct advantage.
