They apparently visited a farm that morning and were playing with goats or something. But it is still odd a large snake constricting dropping and moving on to the next? Not attempting to eat just to kill? Makes no sense. The whole thing stinks to high heaven. My boss was called for an interview it is the first time I have ever seen her speechless. She could make no sense of why a snake would kill and not try to feed. All she managed was 'they don't do that.' The media never wanted to hear this so they didn't bother and found someone else to talk to who had more sensational things to say. The only coverage she got was a generic experts are baffled by the behaviour. Every snake person i know doesn't get it either.

The whole thing is hinky. The two kids were guests the boy they were visiting was asleep in his room, my experiences with sleep overs was a big thing in the friends room. How does a 90 lb snake come out of a vent 8 feet off the floor and not make a big crash? Maybe, but mine make a thump falling 10 inches and weighing only 8 lbs. There are too many questions and few answers.

The though there is something more than just poor ownership that it was intentional has been bantered around since it happened. I can't say that, but the negligence laws in my area have some serious teeth. Two counts of criminal negligence causing death carry two life sentences. Murder of criminal negligence causing death there is a defence for murder (crime of passion, insanity, ect.) criminal negligence causing death you were or were not, once the facts are figured it is hard to defend. It almost doesn't matter. I feel sorry for the mother (friend of the snakes owner) and completely mad at the rest, It should never have happened, the media mess, the fall out all of it.
