By some extraordinary stroke of fate, Russell had fallen onto his own knife at precisely the perfect angle, the blade positioned laterally through his chest, just right of the sternum. Checking Russell's vital signs confirmed he was dead.

Carol was also clearly dead, half her skull was missing. Standing between their bodies, panic overwhelmed Lynn. Although he claimed the deaths were accidental, his thoughts immediately turned to the consequences that would follow. Losing his firearms license would mean losing his aviation security card and his pilot's career.

Terrified of having his life ruined, he decided to cover up the couple's deaths instead. Lynn concealed Russell and Carol's bodies under his trailer's wooden top before methodically sanitizing the scene.

He scattered their wallet's cards and contents to suggest robbery, removed the damaged mirror, and burned his bloodied clothes. A closed road disrupted his planned escape route, forcing an awkward U-turn later noted by a witness.
