So it it seems like

that might be an at least initially a viable threat.

So the attention then turns to the family.

If it wasn't someone from outside, and I agree that that i it's a sort of obvious fear in that time period, right?

Especially when

I suppose when people are earning huge amounts of money or making huge wealth off industry and there's a sense of, you know, their property being the most valuable, and you don't want anyone to try and come and take it or violate it in any way.

So you can see why that's the initial claim, but yes, there is attention turned to the family themselves, the more intimate acquaintances of Andrew and Abby, who are dead.

One thing police do find in an initial search of the house is the hatchet.

It's in the basement.

Now this is probably the hatchet that was used by Andrew to break up the roost, the coop for the pigeons in the yard.

So, you know, we we know it's in use in the household anyway.

It would have been used to chop up firewood, possibly for protection, but it's more a household tool than a weapon necessarily.

but it is found in the basement, and the wooden handle has been broken clean off, as though the person using it last wielded it with enormous force, which is pretty pretty chilling.

Yeah, and he kills the pigeons, so even if there was blood on there, that could be the blood of an animal, very, very easily.

The other suspect that comes up is the uncle, Uncle Morse, who had been obviously staying the night before in the house, but had been witnessed leaving that morning and had been going off to meet the sister Emma, who was staying elsewhere.

We don't know if she's staying away because of a recent argument with the family.

Maybe it's because everyone else in the household got ill and she didn't and she wanted to remove herself.

Maybe she's visiting friends.

It's quite unclear.

But she's also held up briefly as a suspect, although she seems to have alibi.
