Yeah, I get why he said it.

They hadn't really identified any specific motive for the shootings, but it was clear that the suspect had set out intending to kill people. Of the semi-automatic hand weapon used in the killings, the officer said, it's an offensive weapon made to kill people. It packs more power than a .45. Holy shit. Yeah.

When asked why the shooter would have left the scene without being certain that the two were dead, the officer replied, I think he left because he emptied his gun.

Wow. That's chilling.

Wow. That's chilling.

That hunch was a good one. Technicians at the scene ended up finding the exact number of cases you would find in a loaded 9mm pistol, leading investigators to theorize that, yes, the killer had only stopped because he hadn't brought additional ammunition.

That is terrifying. Yeah. That he would have kept going. Probably. And that he just totally unloaded his gun. Also, imagine being Mike and hearing that. Like, that you only are here because of your own, like, you know. Insane, like. Like, strength. Strength, yeah. Yeah, and, like, but, you know, perseverance. But, like, also just some wild thing that, like, there was nothing left. Yeah.

But if there was. He would have. He would have kept going. He would have kept going. I don't know what that feeling would be. But it must be wild.

Mm-hmm. Under the circumstances, Darlene's husband, Dean, was the most logical suspect in this case. But he had an alibi. At the time of the shootings, he was working a shift at the Tennessee Street restaurant, and his presence was verified by every single one of his co-workers.

Okay.

Okay.

Otherwise, there was no other suspects or really any evidence that would have pointed investigators in the direction of the killer. And given the phone call made shortly after the shooting, detectives had pretty good reason to suspect that the shooter in this case was the same person who killed David and Betty the previous December. This wasn't a one-off, you know?
