Police stymied in hunt for motive in slaying of elderly gay couple
http://www.365gay.com/news/police-stymied-in-hunt-for-motive-in-slaying-of-elderly-gay-couple/

(Indianapolis, Indiana) Nearly two weeks after the bodies of Milton Lindgren, 70, and Eric Hendricks, 73, were found in their home, police say they still have few clues and no idea of a motive.

Investigators continue to decline to say how the elderly couple was killed or how long the bodies were in the house before being discovered.

A police spokesperson would say only that the men died by “violent means.”

Officers were sent to the home after friends notified police that the men had not been seen for some time.

Friends of the couple say they believe the slayings were a hate crime.

They say that the men had been previously targeted by vandals. Phone and cable lines cut twice in the past few months, the friends say. They also say that homophobic graffiti was found on their front door in the weeks prior to the killings.

1. *Taps chin* "Motive? What could have been the motive?"
Here's one... for the cops... they were gay! That's all the motive some people need.

Nothing to see here.
