Rachel Entwistle, Lillian Entwistle Murders: Update

Information starting to come out raises more questions as regards husband and father Neil Entwistle and a possible incvolvement in the murders of his wife and daughter.

Apparently Neil Entwistle isn't planning on returning to the US for the funerals and sources also seem to confirm that he was in the country at the time of the slayings.

Neil Entwistle has basically revealed that he probably won't be returning for the funeral of his wife and baby. That's pretty suspicious. No question about that.

"She also revealed that Neil didn't wonder about where his wife was. I mean, she was basically dead for a few days. He wasn't the one calling police, wondering how she was doing.

Yet, the British press seems to be taking another possible view of the story:

As grieving father in Boston 'execution' case is released after a day of questioning, the discovery of threatening e-mails suggests his wife was the target of a hate campaign

Police are investigating the Entwistles' business interests, which encompassed an address in York and another in London's Clerkenwell, along with interests in the murky world of internet pornography and get-rich-quick schemes. Officers said that the family could have had formidable enemies.

Entwistle Murder Mystery Still Unraveling

As this story unfolds with new details almost hourly, the Boston Herald now reports that Entwistle has agreed to return to Massachusetts.

Yet, as of now, the above remains unconfirmed through other sources. However, the latest reports do point out an interesting fact and in one other story his lawyers are advising him to not return.

In the story at bottom, it appears the house was searched the day previous to the discovery of the bodies and nothing was found. I do recall there was little blood on the sheets, consequently, it's starting to look as if Rachel and Lillian Entwistle were killed someplace else.

Defense attorneys say Neil Entwistle should stop talking, stay in England and avoid the media horde at all costs.

    Even if he risks appearing callous, the Hopkinton husband should consider skipping next week’s burial of his slain wife and infant child, one attorney says.

    “If he comes back, there’s going to be a media circus at the church,” said noted defense attorney John LaChance. “There will be a media circus at the grave site.”

.......

Police say they searched the house in Hopkinton a day before the bodies were discovered, but didn't see anything wrong. Officers who returned after friends and family filed a missing person's report found the bodies of Rachel Entwistle and her nine-month old daughter in a bedroom.

Neil Entwistle At US Embassy

LONDON (Reuters) - Neil Entwistle, the Briton, whose American wife and baby were found shot dead at their U.S. home, went voluntarily to the U.S. embassy in London on Friday to talk to officials about their deaths, police said.

"Mr Entwistle was driven to the U.S. embassy by police officers, but he is not under arrest and is not being treated as a suspect in the murder of his wife and baby," a Nottinghamshire police spokeswoman said.

She said he was regarded as a potential witness to the double murder.

Neil Entwistle Not A Suspect

As I pointed out in previous posts, while it looked ominus and there may still be a lot to be explained, apparently Neil Entwistle is NOT a suspect in the murder of his wife and daughter, Rachel and Lillian Entwistle. However, he may be a witness and could have been in the home at the time of the murders. My full coverage here.

POLICE yesterday said Brit Neil Entwistle was NOT a suspect over the murder of his wife and baby daughter.

But he is a “potential witness” — and four plainclothes American cops arrived in Britain to interview him.

Mr Entwistle, 27, has been in contact with US police after taking a flight from Boston, Massachusetts, to London.

District Attorney Martha Coakley said initial inquiries suggested he was in the US when wife Rachel and nine-month-old Lillian died from a single bullet at home.

He bought the ticket two days before the flight, which was either last Friday night or early Saturday.

Ms Coakley said there were no plans to bring the unemployed IT worker back to the US.

She added: “The only thing I will say is we’re interested in getting some information from him.

“I will say he has been cooperative. He is not considered a suspect.”

Update: In the form of a question. Do you think this is legit? Or is it just a means to get him back in the US?

Entwistle Murders Could Be Linked To Porn Business

Channel 5 in Boston is reporting that Neil Entwistle, currently seemingly in hiding outside the US, but being sought as a person of interest in the murder of his wife and daughter, appears to have been involved in some shady business dealings, some within the Internet porn industry.

They describe some of his efforts as a pyramid scheme and point out several complaints against his dealings through Ebay. It's unclear if Neil Entwistle will emerge as a suspect in this crime, or if some of his dealings may have caused another party to seek retribution on the family.

BOSTON -- Authorities still don't know who shot and killed a mother and her baby inside their Hopkinton home last weekend, but they have talked with the victim's husband, who is out of the country.

NewsCenter 5's Gail Huff reported that Neil Entwistle, 27, was reportedly involved in the Internet pornography industry.

Entwistle, who police said is not called a suspect in the double murder, was answering some troubling questions about his business dealings. The British citizen reportedly had a Web site in England that offers clients a pornographic Web site set up which promises to make $6,000 a month profit. But it appears to be a type of pyramid scheme.

He and his wife both sold services on eBay under several company names. Numerous complaints, at least 16, have been lodged against them. One of their companies offers people $20,000 to work on the Internet, apparently selling advertising.

Neil Entwistle Outside The US

Latest reports on the murder of Rachel and Lillian Entwistle indicate husband Neil's BMW was found at the airport and Neil, a person of interest in the case, is outside of the United States.

Initial reports that one bullet killed both mother and daughter were incorrect. Rachel was shot once in the head and nine month old Lillian died from being shot in the stomach.

A man whose wife and infant daughter were fatally shot in their Hopkinton home has been located outside the United States, authorities said on Tuesday.

     Neil Entwistle, a 27-year-old British citizen, has spoken to police but Middlesex County District Attorney Martha Coakley would not reveal his whereabouts late Tuesday. She would only say he is outside the U.S.

     The bodies of Rachel Entwistle, 27, and her 9-month-old daughter, Lillian, were found in a bed in their home on Sunday evening. Neil Entwistle remained a “person of interest” in the homicide investigation Tuesday, Coakley said. He has not been called a suspect. There have been no arrests. story here

Rachel And Lillian Entwistle Update

It's been determined that a single bullet killed both Rachel Entwistle and her child Lillian. Husband Neil Entwistle is still being sought and may be driving a BMW. It's important to note that simply because he is a person of interest, he is not necessarily a suspect.

Records show no signs of previous trouble in the marriage and it is always possible that the husband is also a victim of some tragedy.

HOPKINTON, Mass. --The same small-caliber bullet appears to have killed a mother and her 9-month-old daughter who were found dead together at home in the same bed, in what police are calling the first homicide in this Boston suburb in more than a decade.

Rachel And Lillian Entwistle Murdered, Husband Neil Sought

Rachel Entwistle and her nine-month old daughter Lillian were found shot to death in their rented Hopkinton, Massachusetts home over the weekend. Police are looking for the husband, Neil Entwistle, as a person of interest. He is reported to be traveling, but it appears they have a line on his whereabouts.

Police entered the home and discovered the fully clothed bodies of the victims in the bed of the master bedroom under a pile of blankets. Investigators first believed the cause of death may have been medical or accidental, such as carbon monoxide poisoning.

But as the bodies were being moved, police discovered the wounds from what is believed to be a single small-caliber bullet that passed through both the mother and daughter’s torsos, according to Coakley.

There was little or no blood on the bed, she said. No weapon was found. Autopsy results are expected tomorrow.

The couples appears to have enjoyed traveling and may have recently relocated from England. An on line diary captured events from their marriage, as well as the birth and early months of Lillian's life.

The couple was married in 2003. Neil Entwistle is an unemployed computer worker and it seems the couple had rented the $2,700 a month home for a period of ten days while Neil was seeking work in the area. Developing ... as they say.
