Carrying over posts that didn't make it during the forum changes. Quick TLDR: the light bulb wasn't collected on the morning of 4/12/81 nor during the week+ the cabin was an active crime scene. Likely because they had no reason to collect it. It was collected on 4/29/81, one hour after Phillip confessed while in jail. Phillip's confession was the reason Don Stoy returned to the cabin & collected the lightbulb + scissors. When he sent the light bulb for testing, he included the fingerprints of Phillip & Steve Wright. There is zero documentation that the light bulb was unscrewed and zero documentation Wright screwed it back in (that's ridiculous btw). There's also zero documentation Wrights prints were even identified on the bulb. 28 was dark according to witnesses, but that could easily have been accomplished by turning off the light switch once the perpetrators were inside. All evidence points to this over bulbs being unscrewed. The bloody partial fingerprint found on the living room wall was located directly above the the light switch.  |

In looking back at the crime scene picture of the front door, there is only 1 outlet box there (the silver inset) which means there was only 1 light switch beside the front door. Did the switch beside the front door turn on porch light? Sheila do you know if that 1 light switch turned on the front porch light and the light on the tree? Was the light switch for the living room on the wall by the hampster cage? Both of these switches are in CS photos.
The alcove appears to have been added on after cabin 28 was built maybe to extend the living room/front bedroom closet and an outside porch light added at that time?

Good questions. Sounds more likely than the other theory being put out there. I went & looked at the photos after reading your comment and saw there's a third single switch on the opposite wall. I'm no electrician, so this is just a guess…. But the switches on each side wall operated the sconces above them? Would the switch by the front door then have operated the ceiling light and porch light? That wouldn't be an ideal set up, but who knows? Or one side switch operated both sconces, another the ceiling light and the front door switch controlled the porch? Some variation of that and *maybe* a yardarm light connected to the mix somehow. We know witnesses said it was dark that night and usually something cast a lot of light to the street. That yardarm makes the most sense, but is there even a photo showing there was a light bulb on it?? From what I recall every photo shows the bottom of the yardarm/sign located beneath it, but there's no photo showing the entire thing? All those photos taken, such a photo has to exist. Even better, one that shows both the porch light & the yardarm + whether both lights are on/off at the same time. I've been working on a post re: 'evolution of the light bulb allegations' . It's always kinda interesting to go back and revisit things from the beginning. It quickly goes from - learning of Sheila's fingerprint > she must have unscrewed the bulb > that yardarm must have had a light on it & perhaps one switch controlled both > multiple posts detailing no documentation of the bulb being unscrewed nor it being screwed back in by any officer >>>> next thing you know these things are all proven facts all of a sudden despite no evidence being provided to support these things. Like many other things, this scenario was built around an item of possible evidentiary value found in the files & developed in a way to fit a presumed theory. But the likely answer is, somewhere inside the cabin a light switch which controlled the porch light was switched off. Just a random thought I had, cabin 27 used to be the post office, right? If there was any exterior street light controlled from within a cabin wouldn't hooking it up to 27 make more sense? What about the cabin across from the front of 28? Did that ever house anything besides a residential cabin? ETA: I know that ^ sounds silly, but the whole thing sounds silly to me.     |

 Was that sconce a light fixture or candle holder? Looks like it was taken down in this pic 28fb has a closer (but grainy) photo of yardarm and yes bulb is dangling from it |
