In November of 2006. The FBI crime lab in phoenix established the hair and blood samples taken from Larry's body. In crawl space did not conclusively match the man suspected of the murder, although one year later, Don kill said there might be more evidence to test. In the month after Larry's initial disappearance, his other next-door neighbour Fred Goldman claimed to have seen trucks coming and going home.
However, he didn't think anything of it since Larry himself often drove a truck and loaded it up with antiques, so it was a common scene on the street. Law enforcement discovered from this information that the suspect they later questioned used the 40-year-olds truck to load up antiques and sell them to Michigans-based dealers in the years following Larry's death. The police seemed no closer to arresting his killer to friends and family. It seemed obvious who was responsible, yet justice was out of reach. People described Larry as someone you either liked or didn't know due to his Franke nature and no-nonsense approach and as someone who was dependable and who would do anything for anything to anyone. His partner, Tom Bennet, was about ten years his senior and thought about everything he knew about antiques. According to the two, his friend. The couple had trouble being accepted in their town of Lakeville, Indiana. Larry was more effeminate and less aggressive than his partner. So he took the brunt of the harassment. These statements have made some online sleuths that Larry was targeted for a hate crime.
It's also been noted that whoever killed Larry had to have known a crawl space beneath the
house. Something which even his mother and sister didn't seem to know existed. This lone
speculation has led to some questioning the genius of earl Bennett's character. It was clear that he knew the trap door was there. So why did not say anything sooner? Dean reaches a reporter at the luna echo newspaper in Lakeville criticized the local community for not caring enough of his case and his killer blaming this on homophobia.

Do You Dare?
Salut toute le monde! C’est Spooky Season! Et do I have a scary story for you. It’s from one of my favorite book series, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, “The Girl Who Stood on a Grave”.
Alors the story begins with...
Some boys and girls were at a party one night. There was a graveyard down the street, and they were talking about how scary it was.
“Don’t ever stand on a grave after dark”, one of the boys said. “The person inside will grab you. He’ll pull you under.”
“That’s not true,” one of the girls said. “It’s just a superstition.”
“I’ll give you a dollar if you stand on a grave,” said the boy.
“A grave doesn’t scare me,” said the girl. “I’ll do it right now.”
The boy handed her his knife. “Stick this knife in one of the graves,” he said. “Then we’ll know you were there.” The graveyard was filled with shadows and was as quiet as death. “There is nothing to be scared of,” the girl told herself, but she was scared anyway.
She picked out a grave and stood on it. Then quickly she bent over and plunged the knife into the soil and started to leave. But she couldn’t get away. Something was holding her back! She tried a second time to leave, but she couldn’t move. She was filled with terror. “Something has got me!” she screamed, and she fell to the ground. When she didn’t come back, the others went to look for her. They found her body sprawled across the grave. Without realizing it, she had plunged the knife through her skirt and had pinned it to the ground. It was only the knife that had held her. She had died of fright.
