Feldkamp house vandalized?

Just received a telephone call that the vacant residence of the late Jack and Audrey Feldkamp was vandalized last night. Presumably, deputies from the McHenry County Sheriff's Department responded to someone's call and found damage in the house.

Jack Feldkamp, 83, and Audrey Feldkamp, 81, died on June 7, 2011, according to reports of the McHenry County Sheriff's Department. Mr. Feldkamp died at home, and Mrs. Feldkamp died 2 1/2 hours later in a Rockford hospital. Scott Feldkamp, now 55, told deputies that a man had entered the Feldkamp residence and that he, Scott, had shot the neighbor after the man stabbed his parents and him.

Less than 24 hours later, Sheriff Keith Nygren declared that it was a "random act of violence". Case closed.

But was it a random act of violence? Was the conclusion hastily reached? How do you conclude in less than 24 hours how a triple homicide occurred? To what extent was the house treated as a crime scene and preserved as such until all necessary investigation could be conducted?

The house was reportedly empty in the past weeks. Household furnishings had been removed in anticipation of estate settlement, sale of the house or foreclosure. A relative may have been staying in house from time to time as "security".

A rumor is already spreading about who was responsible for the damage. Whoever hears rumors should write them down as to the time heard and who said what. Due to other investigations in progress, I'll appreciate emails and calls regarding any rumors, and I'll be happy to pass them along to people who can track them down.
