William Wallace turned on lights as he made his way through the house and eventually discovered the dead body of his wife Julia in the sitting room — she had been bashed repeatedly by a blunt instrument.

It is an enduring puzzle. Everyone the police questioned stated that Chevis was well-liked socially and within the military. There was no apparent motive. There would never be a similar murder that might lead the authorities to believe that they had a serial poisoner on their hands.

The crime was now clearly a homicide but how did the murderer get into the apartment? And, more puzzling, how did he get out? And what was the motive?

Turnbull postulates that the murders were not done by a single person, but by a different murderer for each of the killings, i.e., after the first murder there were multiple "copycat" crimes. There is no clear single M.O., Turnbull claims, for all of the killings

The bodies were found by a pair of teenagers out for a stroll on the evening of September 16, 1922. They notified the police, who quickly descended on the scene. The officers found that the
man had been shot once in the head and the woman had been shot three times in the head.
