Time to get the feet wet...
If Carl McDonnell laid claim to the Crowe barn hatchet, my question is..how did it get there? His claim was to have been doing work for Dr. Chagnon,(a neighbor to Crowes property.) How do you do work for one man and your work tool ends up on another mans roof? My belief is he was paid to say it was his. I am also led to believe that there were TWO murder weapons, the Crowe hatchet killed Abby, and the handleless hatchet killed Andrew. McDonnell claims he worked at Dr. Chagnons around the time of the murders..... so if he left it on Crowes barn roof it lay there unnoticed for 10 months, without it ever dawning on him (McDonnell) where he left it.
I have yet to meet a person so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from them.

I think the police got the right (handle-less) hatchet, that Lizzie hid evidence down cellar, which was why she didn't offer any theory to the constabulary of the murderer entering and/or exiting from there.
As I've mentioned before, Lizzie ought to have left that outside cellar door hanging off its hinges, in order to enhance the scenario of an intruder. And-- to open the possibility of entrance/exit from just the front door and the side door.
Moreover, after the daylight robbery, Lizzie was all over a "cellar scenario" for the alleged thief. Why would a thief employ that entry and/or exit and not the murderer?
Lizzie would have been taking a big risk to go outside with the hatchet, no matter how well concealed, in case someone spotted her and wished to chat. And, then, to chuck it on someone's roof-- well, it's possible, but it would have been terribly risky on her part. If anyone had seen her, she would have completely blown her cover.
************************************************************
Also, even if someone other than Lizzie committed the murders, why wouldn't they just drop the hatchet by the sofa before exiting? What's the point in being seen outside carrying a hatchet, or being apprehended with one on one's person?
The convenient modus operandi for a murderer would have been to drop the thing on the floor. Or, in the sink or oven.
That that wasn't done probably made the murders seem even more like an inside job.
