The brother is 9. He's not going to have that MO for the death. He's also not going to baseball swing a flashlight and hit her in the head. She was also bruised and sexually assaulted. The brother was 9 and wasn't even in puberty yet.
Behavior... The girl was bed wetting and even though that's not that rare at 6 it's a sign of attempt to stop abuse at night. The wife had ovarian cancer so no intimacy with the father. The ransom note focuses heavily on the father with numerous details and was written with a non dominant left hand. That's not normal. The photos of the house also showed that neither of the beds weren't slept in.
Then the father wants the family to leave Colorado after the murder. That's 1 of the textbook behavioral signs... The other two would be changing his appearance and then being suicidal. OJ had all 3 of those.
They ruled out the family with DNA but after moving the girl from the basement to the living room that changes things because of course the father's DNA would be found on her. But they ruled out everyone based on DNA. And the DA refused to sign the indictment that implicated the parents. And they didn't get separate statements from the parents.
These cases are rarely ever, really never, mysterious. Sadly it's exactly what it looks like. And John Douglas said also the father might be the best liar he's ever talked to.
