If the police have called this a "rage killing," that means the blood traces were everywhere, including opposite walls and probably the ceiling as well. Arterial blood shoots everywhere. It also means all the blood work is now complete and a match to Lori's.
Between the time she was last seen that Sunday night and when she was reported missing the following morning, MH was a busy boy, cleaning that house like a whippet -- but not good enough.
Meanwhile, our good friend 1L says the police are clueless about this case.
Makes ya wonder if this supposedly smart guy ever watched one of the many forensic shows on teevee (reality and/or dramas like CSI). Surely he would have realized that mere washing wouldn't erase the proof the police would be looking for. I missed the Fox news on this--thanks to all who reported it.
