The Entwistle Case
By now, everyone's heard the story of the woman and infant from Hopkinton who were recently found shot to death in their home. As more details come to light, it's looking more and more like it was the woman's husband (and father of the beautiful little girl) who pulled the trigger. Of course, the DA's office is only calling him a "person of interest" as of this morning. And, then there's always that pesky little "innocent until proved guilty" notion to contend with.
Well, today we learn that the husband left the country on the night his wife and daughter were killed. Nope, nothing suspicious there.
Now, if I were out of town and someone called me to tell me my wife and kids were just gunned down at home, I'd be on the first flight home. If he's innocent, it does seem more than a little odd to me that he's holding up in England somewhere, and not returning home at the first opportunity to "say goodbye" to his wife and baby girl.
"Fishy" would be an understatement.
Of course, one would think that with all these "most effective" gun laws we have, one would merely have to check to see if the husband had been issued a Massachusetts Firearms Identification Card or License to Carry. No FID, no LTC, no gun, right? If our "gun laws work", as is the claim of the dingleberries running Handgun Control, Inc., then it should be a fairly easy way to clear him of any wrongdoing here.
The preceding message was brought to you today by the Massachusetts Department of Bitter Sarcasm.
But there's more.
We have not heard the end of this, by any means.
I will hold off on any official call for a slow, painful death for Mr. Entwistle, pending additional evidence. But, do keep the belt sanders on stand-by.

The man at the center of a murder mystery in Hopkinton has contacted police from overseas. Neil Entwistle, a 27-year-old British citizen, is considered a "person of interest" in the murders of his wife and 9-month-old daughter. Both were found shot in their home Sunday.

According to the MetroWest Daily News, Neil Entwistle ran at least a pair of Web sites that appeared to be get-rich-quick pyramid schemes. The sites are now inaccessible.
The paper said the Entwistles also had been the target of numerous complaints on eBay for non-delivery of services.
