“Look here, McGinnis—hundreds of bright copper kettles, warm woolen mittens, brown paper packages tied up with string. … Someone was after a few of this guy’s favorite things.”

    If breaking into someone’s house and murder for the purpose of stealing things, after they went through the effort of murdering the person, why didn’t they steal the things?

      They didn’t intend to murder, just to steal. When caught in the act it ended in unintentional felony murder, spooking the thief into running and hiding, leaving the loot behind. Or maybe he only got to grab one or two of the favorite things… no raindrops on roses can be seen here, after all.
