Shifting Suspicions and Arrest

Defense and Doubts

• ⚖️ The victims' grandfather, Sarah Grace's maternal grandfather, believes there is insufficient evidence, calling it circumstantial and noting negative gunpowder residue tests.
• 🧐 He questions whether all potential suspects were thoroughly investigated.

Online Interactions and Investigation Tactics

• 🤳 Sarah Grace had reached out to a true crime TikToker, Janice, to discuss the case, which Janice found suspicious.
• 💬 Janice felt Sarah Grace was using her to gain attention for the case, rather than genuinely seeking help.
• 🌐 The defense suggests that reaching out to online sleuths is common for teenagers in her social circle.
• 🕵️‍♀️ Investigators note that a lack of a murder weapon or gunpowder residue does not prevent a conviction, as involvement or masterminding the crime can be proven through other means.
