Thanks for the update, Zero.
Yesterday's Mass for the Wolfe sisters was attended by more than 100 people; all of whom talked about how both Susan and Sarah helped others and were wonderful people.
LE has made a lot of progress in the murder investigation over the last couple of days - encouraging.

Susan Wolfe (back), and Sarah Wolfe. RIP.
Snip:
The 44-year-old teacher's aide (Susan) was beaten and possibly dragged into the Chislett Street basement, according to two sources. Police think the killer might have removed her clothes in an effort to clean up the scene.
Her sister, Sarah, 38, was found fully clothed nearby with her coat only half-removed.
Detectives are reviewing surveillance video from the Port Authority that shows Susan getting off a bus at the same time as an unidentified man. Officials are seeking video from other cameras in the area as they try to determine who killed the sisters and why.
Investigators think the killer took both their cellphones and Sarah's lime green Ford Fiesta, which officers found parked nearby two days later.
Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr. said investigators have a potential suspect. He wouldn't identify the man or describe his connection to the sisters, but Zappala said detectives made “a great deal” of progress on the case and met with officials in his office that morning.
Former Allegheny County coroner Dr. Cyril Wecht said he can't recall a case in which a perpetrator used chemicals to cover a crime. “It depends on the type of chemical, how much was used and whether it was sprayed, poured or hosed over the body,” Wecht said. “Prints aren't something you can wipe away unless the liquid has the viscosity to eat into your pores.”

It's not clear if LE's potential suspect is the yet-unidentified man seen on the bus with Susan Wolfe that evening. Also not clear if she was traveling with him or he just happened to be on the same bus.
If he's their potential suspect and Susan knew him, she could have invited him home and that's why there were no signs of forced entry. Or, he could easily have followed her home and forcefully entered when she let herself in, acquainted or not.
If he's not the current potential suspect, he needs to be ruled out completely so defense attorneys can't successfully use him as an alternate suspect down the road.
Hoping for an arrest soon.
