Lawyer: Artist didn't know Michigan parents stayed in studio

[Sherman A1]

A Detroit-area artist whose studio was where the parents of the Oxford High School student charged in a deadly shooting were found by police is cooperating with authorities and didn’t know the couple had stayed overnight, his attorney said Sunday.

James and Jennifer Crumbley, who face involuntary manslaughter counts, were found early Saturday inside a Detroit commercial building. The couple's attorneys have said they didn't intend to flee, countering authorities who accused them of eluding capture for their alleged role in a school shooting that left four students dead. Their 15-year-old son, Ethan Crumbley, has been charged as an adult with murder, terrorism and other crimes.

The couple went to artist Andrzej Sikora's studio inside the downtown building Friday morning, but the artist was unaware of the charges against the couple or that they stayed after he left for the day, according to attorney Clarence Dass. He said Sikora had a "friendly relationship"' with the Crumbleys but declined to give details, citing an active investigation.

Crumbley is a real estate agent.

Meaning she knows the code to her company's lock boxes on the houses that they're currently showing/selling.

They have utilities on for the showings usually, and residents are used to people entering and exiting at odd hours.

If you're trying to lay low, avoid the search parties, but don't have an extensive amount of resources, an unoccupied house provides, shelter, security, and defense from surveillance.

Perhaps the police should check their company's listings, especially the older doorboxes.

Fleeing was the problem.

2. He hadn't heard?

Maybe the killer hadn't been identified yet.
