You found a possible matricide and the suspect is 29!
That is unusual, and I don't think we've come this close to a family killing, possibly by a woman relative, of the age near to Lizzie, who was 32!
Then there is a frontal face wound as well.
If the daughter/granddaughter did it, I'd suppose that the younger woman was attacked first- that being the mother- and the face wound would probably be the first.
Seems like an argument- I wonder if there was an argument in Abby's case?
If the killer goaded the victim- or just attacked and since they happened to have an axe/hatchet at the time, it does imply premeditation, and surprise, rather than a previous confrontation.
The youngest, strongest victim would probably be incapacitated first.
I'm impressed, I really am!
