I am often amazed how quickly some things show up on the internet- here, Facebook, other sites- and then how s-l-o-w-l-y other things appear. For example, I don't have any memory of hearing about this crime: http://stthomassource.com/content/news/local-news/2015/11/16/murder-suspect-extradited-territory. It seems that would have been pretty big news.

I remember it very well and am delighted that the guy was tracked down and apprehended.

Jeez. I don't remember it either, I remember the last double murder at Sapphire. Has he been extradited yet?

The Source reported on "Nurse Bill" Bennett's murder:

"Searched the apartment and found the body in a plastic bag" is different from "found a body". The initial article didn't sound like anything untoward occurred. And a hospital laboratory staff member is different from "no indication how long he had lived on island."

As to the guy who killed his parents, the last I read he was sitting in Massachusetts fighting extradition.

And how about Rosemary Sauter?

The first report was written only 2-3 days after his body was discovered at which time the details were obviously sketchy.
