I'm beginning to think that if there had been an intruder and Sheila had charge of a gun,that the intruder would too have been shot/injured, as she would have been intent on protecting the children if nobody else.
The blood on the sill, prints of an unknown male on the rifle butt,a figure seen walking away from the farmhouse.These things were logged but never followed up.
I don't suppose local hospitals had been checked for anyone having received any type of injury.
Anyway,I'll get back to Pattis' questions.
