      Stray dogs use to be a thing until the mid 80's. Than cities clamped down due to bites & too many strays damaging property. Seems a lifetime ago, gawd dang I'm old, eh?!🤣🤣

    Francis’s cause of death were described as “heart attack from shock and head injuries.” There was a broken bottle involved, wish we knew whether or not glass was found in her scalp. Im not sure where the strangulation theory came from, but if she had been strangled with a wire, it would have cut into her neck after a bit of force and blood would have sprayed everywhere; There was NOT much blood present at the scene as described. Some blood from her head injury where she lay and some blood in a hallway. A ‘heart attack’ may really be an expression of not a literal heart attack but the fact that despite her head injuries and burns from fire, she was unharmed.
    With layman intuition, I think Francis’s death stemmed from argument (STD related? Plausible. Debt related? Also plausible.) The attack was intended to give her a beating out of anger, not to kill her. After the attack (bottle or otherwise) and Francis didn’t wake, there was panic and an attempt to disguise evidence with the fire.
    However, evidence could point to several potential perpetrators. Maybe it was indeed her husband; Tbh ‘8 years to recover’ sounds like BS, perhaps it was her husband that gave it to her all those years ago? Could definitely start an argument if he showed up at her bar. On the other hand, it could have been the stranger; Who knows how he would have reacted to STD information, even if he hadn’t had consensual contact with her. Perhaps it was as small as being drunk and refusing to pay his tab for having stayed at the inn for multiple days; Or as heinous as having targeted her from the start, carefully selecting jewelry items as trophies (would explain having left expensive items behind like her wedding ring.) Another potential lead is of course the last person to have seen her alive; employed barmaid Elizabeth Mitchell. Elizabeth provided police with sensitive information about Elizabeth’s sexual relationships, that implies an intimate friendship. Perhaps there was conflict between the two and Francis sustained a head injury in the argument that lead to her death (sometimes a single blow is all it takes.) Idk if Elizabeth would have had the strength to move Francis from hallway to location of discovery, perhaps Francis staggered down there herself before succumbing to a related effect of her injury (TBI, hemorrhaging in the brain, blood clots etc.) She could have died from a trauma related injury Minutes after the initial blow, staggering to location of discovery.
    So many possibilities, wish more reliable info was available, my head is spinning
