Matts grandmother remarried and he got along good with his new grandpa. The grandpas kids and grandkids didn’t like it and liked it even less when Matts grandma got the whole estate. This caused a huge split in the family and the grandpas side supposedly wanted revenge. Some of these guys are even cops.

What?!! A whole new twist I haven't heard of!! Wow! So in theory, some cops may have knowledge and/or had a hand in this murder!

I’ve heard this story as well and pretty certain it’s true. However I have not heard they wanted revenge. And yes some of them are police officers but I’ve never heard the revenge aspect.

Are we talking local officers?
And what was the time period? Do we know?
I still think that whatever set this whole situation into violent action had to have happened reasonably close to that evening.

Doing a quick Google search to findagrave.com Matt's grandmother Jean was married to "RCD". In his obituary it states that he was a veteran, and served as Mooresville chief of police in the mid 1950's. Not sure if anyone in the family is military or police though. Just a tidbit of information.

Same family as "BD" former narcotics detective for MPD I assume? Think he's a Sgt. with MPD now?

According to the Register of Deeds for Iredell County, "RCD" passed away in 2005, his widow (Matt's grandmother) passed away in 2012

I'm very leery of naming people on this forum, especially when they are not already a part of the narrative. That's the intent of rule 3. 3. The public revealing of personal information with respect to anyone associated with this case, including but not limited to their address, contact information, current activities or social media links is strictly forbidden. The names of minors should not be used at any time. The names of anyone else, especially those not already mentioned in public discussion with respect to the case, should be used only if strictly necessary. For purposes of discussing people not already in the public eye, it is appropriate to use initials or a non-identifying pseudonym rather than their full name. Again, these are real people with real lives who are deserving of their privacy as much as anyone else would be. With that said, Jean has already been mentioned in the podcast. (I'm not even sure if that's the spelling of her name.) Therefore, her name can be used freely. I'm on the fence about Jean's husband, even though he's deceased, because he's such an easy link to others who are still alive. For now, I will be cautious and suggest we simply use the initials "RCD" for him. The current Mooresville officer, on the other hand, is clearly a case where privacy should be a concern. We will choose to use the initials "BD" for him. His name doesn't need to be used directly in public posts. I have no control or access to the private messages of others, so what you do there is up to each of you. No one else can see them, either. This isn't meant to impair the discussion. Please continue to use the initials and carry on, as will I. I'll edit the previous posts to reflect this policy, and this isn't meant as reprimand to anyone who has helped develop this information. We just want to be thoughtful and careful. |

My first thought about all of this immediately goes to the question as to whether or not "BD" was at the scene the night of the murder, and whether or not he was (or currently is) involved in the investigation. I would assume that there are standing rules in any police department that an officer cannot be directly investigating any case with which he has a personal connection. Does anyone know if that's the case in Mooresville?
I would be concerned about this even if there weren't a suggestion that there were possible hard feelings involved.

If this is a possible scenario and someone else wanted Matt dead, they’d be able to find a much better time and place to get him, not come into his home where the wife and kids could all also be injured.
