The dead were Jack Feldkamp, 83, Audrey Feldkamp, 81, and Doran Bloom, 27.
Less than 18 hours later, McHenry County Sheriff Nygren held a press conference (for "credentialed media" only (excluding coverage by the McHenry County Blog, the Woodstock Advocate and FirstElectric Newspaper.com)), where he announced his version of what had happened.
Although three had died by violent means the night before, the McHenry County Sheriff's Department did not activate the county-wide MIAT (Major Investigations Assistance Team).
This major blunder by the Sheriff meant that only his deputies were involved in the crime scene and reports. Had several pairs of eyes from other departments, specialists in their own areas of analysis and investigation, looked at the crime scene, might they have come up with many important questions? Certainly, the case would never have been closed so quickly.
From reading all the reports, it appears the detectives never looked at such factors of "motive, means or opportunity." And, after the press conference, there isn't one MCSD detective or deputy who would voice an opinion contrary to the Sheriff's pronouncement. They know what happens to those who are so brave.
Recently, Paul Scharff published Murder in McHenry, which is about the unsolved murders of his father, Ron Scharff, and an employee in his father's tavern in Lakemoor in 1981. Except that soon after, Lt. (later, Sheriff) Hendle and State's Attorney Floro were given the name of the killer.

Tell me more. Am I supposed to assume thst the MCSO detectives are incompetent and needed help? Am I to assume that detectives from outside MC could do a better job? Why should the MCSO bring someone else in? Was an arrest made? What makes you think there was a blunder of any kind? I guess I just wonder what the point of this thread is.
Sometimes, assumptions are right on the money.
As Yoda might have said, "Clear the thread will soon be."
