We did check the front door for any signs of forced entry. None. Nothing looked like it had been touched. Same in the kitchen. TV's still, you know, where it appeared they belonged. You know, anything of value that you could immediately see just seemed to be in its place. And they also found, I want to say like $800, I believe, in Lisa's purse. So not a burglary, not a robbery.

We were told that the deputies had spoken briefly with Lisa James, the wife, and she told them that She had been sleeping in her oldest son's room because she had lupus. Kevin James Sr., the victim, had a cold, flu kind of thing. So she didn't want to sleep with him that night because she didn't want to catch anything because her immune system was compromised.
