Property & Coroner's Report of Tina's Remains

The hitch used to connect Sue's wrist bindings to her ankle bindings, that is not the way I feel most everyday people would have went about it. They would use something quick, easy, & familiar. Could have just tied the two wires together with overhand/granny knots. They utilized the end plug to secure with a hitch & connect her wrists/ankles. An unusual way for most people to decide let alone complete the task especially in a frenzy, unusual but very efficient, unfortunately : ( They knew this & were confident in executing it. Logger, rancher, vet? We've said before but it's similar how LE or prison guards transport people. Wrists - ankles - connect the two with a connecting piece. She was likely sitting on the couch when applied.

So, one or two+ people? I personally lean towards two but although someone could have acted alone - even with the different knots. Purposely chosen knots for J&D's ankles, the hitch on Sue. Simple knots for the gag, belt like material found at camp 18 because they were tying fabric. Overhanded knot at Sue's ankles because she was already well enough secured. Unless LE did somehow determine specific knots by left handed & specific knots right handed, all left handed, etc two perpetrators seem most likely imo

The same knots used on J&D seem to suggest the same person tied them. That's not surprising considering we've speculated that was done as an immobilization technique (vs staging) after they were already incapacitated or deceased. As a precaution, especially if Dana did break free, which I do believe is the reason for his broken bindings. One ties the boys together, taking no more chances, while the other handles Sue who was still mobile based on the bloody footprints. Whether she came out into the living room or jumped up from the couch. Something happened with j&d initially, it doesn't appear Johnny even had the time to react. Two+ perpetrators. Unplanned homicide. Whatever it started out as escalated into what it turned into. As it escalated, the electrical cords were introduced and collected from the cabin.

WTF didn't they utilize the extension cords right there in the living room? They went into the bedroom to cut the lamp cord instead of using those right there in the living room. The lamp cord was used on Sue. Where did the extension cord used for Johnny & Dana come from?

Off topic, but boaters/sailors would use those knots also. I thought it was kinda strange in Justin's statements how he used correct terminology when talking about his dream boat. I wondered if maybe his dad owned a boat or had been a sailor/fisherman at one point? But anyway, I agree the knots were tied by someone who used them alot, by muscle memory. Logger, Forester, veteran, climber, ranger, hell, macrame enthusiast;) farmer, sailor, boy scout. Nice post Hope! You got me thinking

Nice post akat, I don't believe Tina was killed in the cabin either, but I don't know. Also, I used to think it was all a bunch of hooey that she had been held for awhile before being killed. In the documentary, it appears this rumor all started with Dr. Muran saying he originally thought the bones had only been there six months. And he later corrected himself saying theses things are often a best guess and he believes he was wrong. But somewhere, I think I recall officers believing she'd been held alive for a few days. It was discussed by locals on old forums, so I do believe it was a rumor that was checked into, there's just no way to verify either way.
