Has anyone dug into the history of the revolver used in Thomas Barrows's murder? It's interesting (and disturbing) to consider how a five-barrel Colt came into play in this tragedy. Guns like that weren't all that common, and it seems like a very deliberate choice. Was it something that was well-known in the community, or could it have been acquired with ease at that time? The fact that Blaney bought this specific weapon makes me think there was significant premeditation involved. It's chilling to consider they went to such lengths to carry out the plan, especially with Mary being so closely involved. I feel for Thomas's family back in Liverpool, who likely received this news with utter shock. It's a grim reminder of how hidden dynamics in relationships can have truly tragic outcomes. Curious to hear more thoughts on how ownership or access to weapons might have influenced cases in that era. Any other historical true crime buffs here have insights?
