This is a horrifying story, but little info is available at this point.
When police arrived, they found 6 dead victims and one suffering from GSW’s, who later died of her injuries.
They found hundreds of plants (likely including small clones) and over 1000 pounds of weed. The thing is, why wouldn’t the killer take the weed? Or was there just too much that they couldn’t transport it all.
In any case, this is a tragic reminder that some people will kill to have what we have. Even in a state where pot is legal and there are thousands of legal growers, people are still getting killed over it.
Here’s the only news article on the story that I found which shows the house.
Would seem to me that they weren’t interested in the weed more with killing someone well maybe not there was no mention of cash I’m sure there was 10s of thousands of dollars there at one point
Good point, @TheShowMeHomie. Cash is very likely what they were after, considering what they left behind. Probably not a stretch to assume it was an inside job by one of the helping hands they employed at one time.
No doubt about it the thing is those people who were murdered have friends and family and I’m sure one of them knows who’s missing from the scene and I hope that person meets there maker I’m a true believer in street justice
seems like retribution to me… or someone did something wrong. Killing 7 ppl is a big deal. Even for a million dollars. Usually its tweekers going too far or someone wronged the wrong person…
killing 7 ppl is fbi task force shit. 100s of agents. I in no way think FBI is competent but I would not want a task force on me. Unless it cartel shit then fbi is moot
Its all speculation. Look up the rhoden family murders in pike county ohio. 8 members of the same family executed at multiple locations on the same night execution style. There was dog fighting and/or illegal grow ops at every location. For the longest time the media and public speculated that it was the doings of a mexican cartel. Turns out it was a disgruntled ex husband of one of the female family members. The motive had nothing to do with the cash or the plants. Simply an easy cover to get rid of his ex wife who was trying to keep his kid from him. And, it took the authorities a long time to figure it out.
@Grohio, I just read an article about that 30 minutes ago. I recalled it being 8 family members killed across several locations in one area. I thought I remembered it had to do with weed, but was reminded of the actual reason when I read the article. In THIS case, however, I think it’s safe to say it was likely tied to the grow op.
Has no one watched the series “Hannibal”? True masterminds are ones you never heard of…
That being said, more often than not you aren’t dealing with anything remotely that complicated. Most people kill because they feel entitled to something; money, power, revenge, whatever. Crimes that big don’t disappear unless we’re talking big names; if so forget about getting information lol.
If it were an inside robbery, they would have hit the joint when no one was there.
I’d lean more towards outside crew that botched the job and got rid of witnesses. Rival business, someone owed money, gangland shit, maybe.
While a highly personally-motivated individual is possible, it isn’t easy to kill 7 people. Once you start shooting, people are going to run. 2-3 individuals is more likely. If it was personal, why kill the grow crew? Johnny Wook-Trimmer ain’t owe that kind of money.
Excuse the speculation…I’ve always been way too into true crime, mysteries, armchair-detective type stuff.
In what timeline is murder more ‘righteous’ than the devil’s lettuce. I may or may not have spent 13 years in ‘religious’ private schools and cannot remember a single instance of reading ‘thou shall not kill unless killing a grower of the devil’s lettuce’.
