Nothing missing. There was a robbery of our only pharmacy on 2 April. The man that was shot and killed supposedly drove the get away car (nothing to prove that, only gossip). An arrest of the person who is accused of robbing the pharmacy came 3 days after the bodies were discovered. The man arrested for the robbery claimed to have been kidnapped the day before the robbery and beaten. He had gone to the state police barracks on 1 April to report it. Police took pictures of his injuries. Many here are trying to link the 3 crimes. I don't know if there is an actual link or just grapevine talk causing people to assume so. As far as we know the murder weapon/weapons have not been found. We know they were shot with the same caliber gun, but we do not know if it was the same gun.
The grapevine talk here is: The man killed and the man in custody for the robbery were into some shady stuff and got in over their heads with whom ever they were dealing with. The people they were dealing with beat the crap out of the one. The two men decided to rob the pharmacy to pay whom ever they needed to. My friend, Laurie (the wife that was killed), found out about all of it after the robbery and threatened to turn them both in if they did not turn themselves in. People think they were both killed because of it either by the guy or the people they were dealing with.
Now my problem with all of this is........another couple has been killed in a completely different part of the state. Whether it is connected to this whole mess or not, I don't know. It is the "I don't know" part that is keeping me from sleeping. Is there a reason (shady dealings of the husband) that caused my friend to be murdered or is there someone in my part of the world that is just randomly killing people.
Part of the reason it is so huge here is. We have not had a murder in at least the last 30 years.
