Converse said that the Blackburns’ dog greeted investigators when they arrived at the home, and the couple’s young son had been in the house at the time of the incident, though he was upstairs in his crib.
“We know who killed her. At least we have a picture of him, but we don’t know the name”, he said, adding that the suspect was seen near the Blackburn’s home.
Adams also confirmed that part of the investigation is focusing on whether the Blackburn break-in is connected to other recent break-ins in the area.
