He stated, quote, I lean toward the bizarre.

I don't think there was any Machiavellian intent in this.

In other words, I don't think it was planned.

It was probably a crazy person who just did it on the spur of the moment, end quote.

But Annie, Raymond Barrow's daughter, told me she has never been able to get on board with that suggestion.

She believes the murders were a hit of some kind, but just on the wrong targets.

She explained that even if a hit had been taken out on her dad, she's convinced there would have been so many other opportunities for a contract killer to get her father other than while he was on vacation across the state with relatives.

She said he usually traveled to and from his job at the Key Biscayne Hotel around the same time every day, by himself.

And there were even some nights he would leave the hotel late.

In her opinion, if a hitman wanted to take out her dad without any witnesses or complications, they would have done so when he was more vulnerable, not while he was randomly boating with his brother-in-law and nephews on Ana Maria Island.

She thinks the same thing with regards to a scenario where Juan could have been a potential target.

She said that her uncle had a regular routine and would often tend to patients at his local hospital at night.

So if a killer had wanted to take him out for whatever reason, she thinks they would have struck at another time and not involved Eric and Mark.

She told me that all things considered, the murder seemed very well planned.

Likely not the act of a roaming serial killer or something like that.

She's convinced that whoever the killer was looking for was not one of her family members.

What makes the most sense to her is that the entire crime was a tragic case of mistaken identity.

On the five-year anniversary of the crime, authorities were still no closer to finding the suspect or solving the case.

Maria Dumas told writer Joseph Palmer that she was still haunted by the murders of her husband and two youngest sons, but she was at a place where she could at least talk about them more often.

She expressed that for the sake of her two surviving children, she no longer wanted to live life as a shattered woman.
