I’m going to give the LEOs some slack here...
1) There is no way to know what the cop actually said, given the slovenly state of the media.
2) In a murder, you first look at the people around the victim. Its the highest percentage. Same thing with home invasion. The perps went there because they thought there were thing they could steal. A link could be something a innocent as a lawn service or repairman. The other real possibility is that they hit the wrong house. As we know, even the LEOs do that.
I agree. In this area (West Valley City), there have been a lot of home invasion robberies that have turned out to be drug dealers ripping each other off for drugs and/or cash.
Statistically, especially in this area, random home-invasions are rare. There’s usually a connection. The cop wasn’t committing to anything particular. It’s not known whether it’s drugs, some other criminal activity, a kid who found out somehow that the person has money and valuables (a lot of times, a disgruntled teenager will do this kind of caper to get enough money to go on the lam from mom and dad), or no link at all.
