I feel terribly for the family, this is an egregious and very brutal, up-close-and-personal murder, but I would be lying if I didn't find it curious that the daughter is so eager to speak with the press and "solve the crime" (or advance her theory) before the body is even cold. Everyone expresses guilt differently, but it almost looks like she is smiling and trying to hide her smile behind that handkerchief. I'm just getting the "Susan Smith vibe."
And even if the area is a "hotbed" for supremacists, it's also a hotbed for forty thousand Iraqis. I can't imagine a supremacist being so stupid as to march into someone's home, not knowing their routines (how could they, since they were new in town?) and beat the shit out of of a woman and then leave...a NOTE?
Something just does not add up here. Of course, I freely acknowledge that I am no detective, either, and my "expertise" is limited to the bullshit I've also seen on TV and in murder mystery novels. Maybe that IS the way hatemongers do business. It just seems very, very strange to me.
Edit--another video here of the daughter speaking:
This news report says there was "some kind of" break in at the back of the house, apparently.
But in this video, the neighbor says it looks like the glass in the broken sliding glass door had shattered OUT--not in, and the police spent a lot of time at the scene.
