    This guy is a goldmine of information. At first, I thought, "THREE episodes??", but I could listen to him all day long. The problem would be waiting a week for the next episode!

    I have a hard time believing that the person responsible for this depraved murder was normal enough to blend in or even revenge for a business dealing

      Same here. But look how well Ted Bundy blended in. He even worked at a suicide hotline. And the BTK killer. Gacy performed at children's parties. I guess people see what they want to see. That's part of what helps serial killers hide in plain sight.

    Wilkerson was a disgusting blow heart. I enjoyed the book greatly but I was so done with Wilkerson.
    I was glad when he was finally out of the story

    FFJones would have to have had considerable animosity towards Moore for the public to believe he was guilty of these muders. Leaving to set up your own opposing business hardly sounds like enough resentment for such a public display of anger.
    I believe there WAS more to it and quite possibly the son of FFJones knew nothing about his wifes "activities" which might only anger FF more. And wouldn't it be more beneficial to get rid of the wife instead of her clientele?
    I don't believe FF was guilty of the murders.
    I still think it was Henry Lee Moore.

      I think the family ran afoul of a serial murderer riding the country’s rail network at that time. There were multiple entire family axe murders occurring with eerily similar MOs. Read “The Man From the Train.”

      @@tigerlioness1 I'm leaning toward that, too. Because their house was at the edge of town and the east side was obscured from prying eyes. It was a convenient location.
      The only other person I'm really leaning towards strongly is Reverend Kelly. He married his older wife when he was in his middle twenties and never consummated it because he was "impotent". What guy in his sexual prime is completely impotent? Plus he was caught peeping in windows at young girls. He was at the church that evening for the children's services (no surprise). He likely discovered the Stillinger girls would be sleeping over. Perhaps he'd overheard they'd be placed downstairs.
      I feel he was a pedo who was not remotely attracted to women of normal age. His wife was a mother figure who looked after him. He had mental health issues and was a rather small framed, squirrely man. Lena was positioned in a sexual position with an oil lamp on the floor right beneath her exposed privates.
      We can ask ourselves: Why the heck would a man kill an entire family just to get his sexual jollies? Well, it's been done before. I don't remember the case, but a girl around the age of 13 was taken by a man who killed her entire family before taking her. There are many other cases. It's not out of the realm of possibilities.
      When we think of the past, we think of well-dressed, polite and industrious people who left their doors unlocked. We have a hard time reconciling that with a rabid ax murderer. It's possible Reverend Kelly was a wolf among sheep hiding behind the facade of a lamb. His traveling helped him keep from being discovered while he engaged in "no good". His wife must have sensed the boy had a couple screws loose.
