Sheriff's officials still are reluctant to release many details of the murder of Slade, his 40-year-old mother, Brenda Groene, and Brenda's 37-year-old boyfriend, Mark McKenzie. Details that only the murderer would know are more valuable to the investigation when only the detectives know them, he said.
Watson said his opinion – not necessarily backed by the evidence, he cautioned – is that the crime was premeditated because the killer or killers brought items to the scene to carry out the crime.
"It wasn't spontaneous," he said. Still, it doesn't fit any traditional crime scenes in his experience, he said.
"It was a highly emotional crime scene, a violent crime scene," he said. "Real violent crimes are usually driven by love, money or drugs."
But Groene and McKenzie didn't have a lot of money, nor did they appear to be heavily involved in drugs, he said. While the two adult victims did have methamphetamine and marijuana in their systems, according to the autopsy, Watson described them more as recreational users.
"This is what I would expect (from) a Colombia drug lord sending a message to a dealer," he said. "But these people didn't have big drug or money issues."
While the two grown Groene sons have had criminal convictions, and 18-year-old Jesse Groene is awaiting sentencing on a burglary charge, Watson described their involvement with law enforcement as "small time stuff, nothing to warrant this."
I want to know more about that crime scene....something dramatic happened and I think it points to a sicko pyschopath.
Monsters are real and protected by the ACLU.
