The
Scenario
"In my scenario", begins Jessica, "Jim makes
his way back to the family farm and hides out in the barn, conceals himself on
the premises, and secretly surveils the day-to-day happenings. He does this for
a few days, moving between the barn and the attic of the main house. After a
few days he decides, to reveal himself to his seven-year-old daughter and try
to persuade her to come away with him. In his mind, she is his only link by
blood on the whole farm and he wants to take her away, to maybe start another
life together. But, something goes terribly wrong as he is attempting this. She
may have become frightened and tried to flee, stumbled and fell, hitting her
head on something that knocks her unconscious".
"Jim then begins to panic
and tries to conceal her under the hay. Then, one by one, the other victims
begin coming out to look for the other. First was Rachel’s mother, then her
mother, and lastly Carl. It’s December and the ground is frozen. There was no
way to dispose of the bodies at this point and Jim gives up trying. He knows
that the little boy in the house is an illegitimate child of his supposedly widowed
wife and, in his warped thinking, she’s been unfaithful. He goes to the house
to dispatch the child with the same farming implement used on the others and
wakes the live-in housekeeper in doing so. She can identify him, so she has to
be eliminated along with the others. In a rage Jim turns towards the child and
brutally murders him. (The crime scene photographs show the crib in splinters
after the assault, which usually indicates “overkill” and a crime of passion). Jim
then goes back to the barn, finds Rachel and tries to nurse her back to health.
Unfortunately, the accidental blow to her head is causing her extreme pain and
she finally succumbs to the injury. Jim stays at the farm for several days
after the killings, tending to livestock and eating the slain family’s food".
