giggle time.
Freddie and Jan, I am only an amateur detective. But why would a robber inflict such violence on all members of the family. Aren't robbers more like businessmen in regression (i.e. the goal is the money...let's get in, get the money, and get out quickly).
Beating the whole family so that they are unrecognizable...isn't that a special artform. That must take at least an hour extra.
Please, tell me where I am wrong!
