Book haram?

Boko haram ?

GA FReeper ping. This is ugly.

These old folks seemingly were targeted murders. The dead man’s history will most likely reveal some cause for a murder’s vicious vengeance.

[Gaffer]

I do too.

[Gaffer]

Doper I could get. Grand kid I can’t. Decapitating is some really sick twisted crap or just outright hate.

[The KG9 Kid]

It’s not enough. Going to get to the point where we need concertina wire over a fougasse pit, punjii stick traps, and remote-detonated claymore mines around the perimeter of your house.

I would suspect a drug cartel. The wife may have been taken after witnessing the death/dismemberment of her husband because the cartel believes she knows where whatever they're looking for is located. She will eventually be disposed of also. Dead soul cartels, yup that's what I would suspect.

BTW, while Reynolds is a gated community, there is no guard to stop someone from just driving into the area, most of the time. If a croquet match or riding event or golfing event is going, then the entry is guarded/controlled.

[MHGinTN]

Dude! You mean you don’t already have that arrangement? Prep man, prep!

[Red in Blue PA]

Most serial killers are in fact NOT amish.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Sounds like the Drug Cartel sending a message to one of these poor people’s kids or grandkids who are mixed up in drugs. They will kill your whole family and think nothing of it.

[Osage Orange]

Did someone say this was a serial killing?

[cherry]

the drug angle could be viable...but I suspect the elders were simply collateral damage from some grandson’s drug dealing....like, we’re going to kill these people and we’ll bring you the proof, etc...

[cherry]

the thought of a bigger fence etc is fetching, but if you build a fort that no one can get into, HOW THE HELL DO YOU GET IT?.....you need to have open access to get out as well if SHTF..

[The KG9 Kid]

It's called a 'Sally Port', a term to describe fortified openings or gates in a stockade wall where the besieged could 'sally forth' against the attackers. If they start using heavy weapons to knock down your fortification, you're going to have to send skirmishers outside to engage them directly.

You position these 'sally ports' in locations that give maximum chance to flank the enemy's likeliest direction of assault.

In a typical American home, this may be a side door leading from the garage to the front or back yard. These doors are often the portals into your home that home breakers/burglars/invaders use to gain access, so fortify them with deadbolt locks, a decorative metal security door fastened with lag bolts into the frame, or at a minimum a door brace.

[Ditter]

Oh no! You mean that all your guns and ammo were in the boat at the time of the boating accident? The same thing happened to Mr Ditter all we have for protection are 3 Jack Russel Terrorist and a big fat hound dog. Thanks God for the dogs they were able to swim to shore with Mr D.!

[libstripper]

Yes, it was a Terrible Tragedy. Fortunately, my tea cup love puppies were back guarding the estate, so I still have them.

[Ditter]

Thank God for the tiny pups! Sometimes they are the best watch dogs. The best “watch” dog I have ever had is totally blind. He is a 15 lb JRT and he “hears” everything and lets me know about it!

Weird case....

My best guess: follow the money. Who profits by their death/disappearance.
