Re: Call: Penny R/Sheriff
And we got nothing on the bodies that says there was a struggle of any kind, which I'd expect. Because if you want to kill someone in a home with carbon monoxide, you're going to want to keep them in the home somehow.
They'd have felt sick, Sheriff. You see cases of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning pretty often - in the ERs. Because people feel sick when they're conscious. Headaches, dizziness, sour stomach. They'd have gotten sick enough to know something was wrong. The people who die from it are usually sleeping or suicidal. If it was something that was ongoing, a lot of times people live in a place and stay sick for a long time without knowing why, I'd have expected to see some more brain damage.
Now maybe they got sick about the same time, and maybe they got sick enough to leave together, and maybe they put on their outside gear and passed out at the same time before they could make it out of the kitchen. But that's a lot of maybes, and I don't like maybe.
I'm not ruling out them being drugged on top of it, if you want a clever way of keeping them in the house, that's one way to try for it. I'll know more on that when I get tests back. Mr. McVickers had a couple of undigested pills in his stomach, but I'm pretty sure it's glucosamine and motrin.
