What was the motive for the killing? Although the deceased man was a likable loner who occasionally argued with family members, a clear reason for the killing proves to be elusive. He had little of value except an old farm with a tumble-down house that he planned to donate to a nature preserve. With no obvious leads, everyone is a suspect.
