Hi, Kay! Detailed victim profiles are indeed important.
Here are a few things we *think* we've dug up concerning what the Sharps and Dana may have been up to:
1. Sue was NOT "on the run" from her husband, Jim. Jim had (once again) KICKED her and the kids out. For what? We don't know. But her sister Jackie was sick of taking them in, so they ended up in Quincy at her brother Don Davis's trailer. Even after Sue's death, Jim REFUSED to take the surviving kids back, so they ended up in foster care--EXCEPT Sheila, who went back to her aunt Jackie's house. Which happened to be near where Sheila's baby was growing up. That's important, because Sheila had a MOTIVE for getting rid of Sue. Which she and her uncle lied to police about.
2. It turns out that Don Davis's daughter Tammy (Sheila's cousin of the same age) is the one who got Josh to make the documentary in the first place. Why wasn't Tammy invited to the "older girls sleepover" at the Seabolts? Don and his wife drove out to Keddie that night to have dinner at the Keddie restaurant. Where Bo and Marty were celebrating. Why didn't they drive Tammy out with them? Why didn't they stop in and see Sue for a minute? Or call first to see if maybe Sue needed anything from town?
3. Dana, on probation, was veeeeeeeerrrryyyyyy likely acting as an informant as a condition of his probation. He had just recently made a big effort to make friends with Johnny, who was getting quite a reputation around town as a little thug and petty drug dealer. Was he "working" on Johnny as a condition of his parole? The autopsy report noted that Dana's pants were undone, and the ME checked specifically for tape residue. As though the ME thought he might have been wearing a "wire." Which looks exactly like what his assailants suspected, as well. Gamberg, whose job with PCSO at the time was juvenile offenders like Dana, has claimed for years that he knew Dana (Gamberg's own boys were Johnny and Dana's age) and that Dana was at Gamberg's house the night before (Friday night, that is) the murders. Even if Dana wasn't a "narc," anyone with a brain would have ASSUMED he probably was.
4. Again, Johnny was getting deeper and deeper into "trouble." He "disappeared" the exact same week Marty was in Reno supposedly "in the VA hospital." Which was right before Johnny supposedly started selling "black beauties" around school, and when Marty supposedly threatened to "break Johnny's hands." Etc.
5. Were Justin and Tina fooling around? Sheila seems to have fudged her story (we don't know for sure without complete transcripts) a little bit about what happened Saturday. She claims Justin went to town with them to sign up for little league baseball, but Justin's statements indicate he stayed in Keddie that morning--while Tina was home "alone." Justin also had detailed--and accurate--knowledge about which girl/Sue slept in which bed in the girls bedroom. Etc.
For starters.
