- Darryl was destructive and abusive. Janine had a rough upbringing with Darryl as her older brother and caretaker.
- Janine and Bobby spent the night together before Darryl's murder, and Bobby fell soundly asleep from his sleeping pills.
- Janine's room was adjoining Darryl and Sally's room. Sally was not in the room when Darryl was murdered.
- Darryl received all royalties from the album's sales. His estate, through Janine as next-of-kin, is funneled into the Darryl Fanton Foundation (DFF).
- Noah's Song purchases a suspiciously large amount of instruments from Kids Music Wholesale.
- She redistributes all of the "charity" from Darryl's estate and the DFF into her own pockets, without raising suspicion about her motives and relationship with Darryl.
- Janine is the only one with the motive and the opportunity to murder Darryl.
- She is the killer - in one fell swoop, Janine eliminated her brother, who was, by all accounts, a violent and abusive individual; disbanded the group so she could return home; and established the foundation for her future financial stability.
