The father rises at 6:30 am and leaves for work at 7am. The ramblings and the fact the boy has to relieve himself causes him to awaken. Half asleep and on the way or in the bathroom he glances out the window and notices a truck but he doesn't pay much mind to it. It is still too early for school and the boy goes back to bed.
In the truck is a spiteful, angry ex-lover who is known to have threatened to kill the father's wife to be and knows of the 20 gauge shotgun given to the boy for Christmas. He also knows the woman generally sleeps late and the children have a habit of readying for school and getting on the bus without her help and without seeing her. He has a plan to get even with the girl and the boyfriend by killing her and taking from the boyfriend that which he loves the most – his son.
At 7am the father leaves for work, the ex-lover waits a few minutes, goes to the house with a gun loaded with 26 bird shot pellets and a silencer, does his dirty deed, drops a fresh 20 gauge shell beside the path to the road, he sped home arrives back at his parents house by about 7:25am or sooner, the truck cools, it snows for several minutes covering the ground and his truck with fresh snow.
The boy and his half sister awaken from the muffled sound but it wasn't loud and their not sure what wakened them, just that they were awakened. They clean themselves up, get dressed, have breakfast, make a lunch, brush their teeth, pack their bags, put on winter gear and head out the door for school, as usual. Neither one realizing what had occurred in their home or the significance of sleepy, faulty memories.

The alternate storyline sounds good. Either that or the person waited outside the home for the kids to leave, knowing the approximate time they would go and Kenzie would be alone with only the 4 year old.
Alright, so here's the question. Did is snow on that day? What were the weather conditions? I'm trying to find a site that shows past weather conditions.

If you scroll down there is a table that shows hourly observations for snow. It shows that it snowed twice where the house was located. There was light snow at 6:47am and then again at 8:47am.

Its possible the ex-lover borrowed a truck/car, then it wouldn't make any difference to the story, if it snowed or not. The police seem to have accepted his alibi once they seen snow on his truck. Shame.
Since Beaver Falls is somewhat removed from New Galilee and New Castle, the exact times of snowfall may be somewhat different for each place. It's possible that while it snowed in one location it didn't in another. I suspect a meteorologist would be able to sort times and snowfall out.
It is possible the father left before or shortly after snow started to fall at 6:47am, thus flurries covered his tracks and leaving just the boy and girls tracks in the snow.
After the boy and girl left for school the ex-lover arrives, does what he planned to do, rushed home, truck cooled, snow at 8:47 covers truck and that is the snow police see on his truck for which they believe his alibi.
One problem, if it snowed twice, once before leaving for school and once afterwards, how did police see tracks for the children who got on the bus? Is it possible that it snowed at 6:47am in New Galilee and 8:47am in New Castle? But like I said previously, it is possible the ex-lover had easy access to a vehicle besides his own. He did live with his parents.
The point is the police should have been wiser than to accept a scoundrels alibi without testing his clothes, without exploring the possibility that he used another vehicle and under such iffy weather conditions concluding that snow on his truck indicated that it wasn't driven that morning.

Plus,
What of the tracks of the ex-lover? If he came while the children were in bed he either would have had to commit the crime right after the father left, so his tracks were covered just like the fathers or he used the front door and a different path. The same path the tree trimmers and the 911 response used, thus destroying his tracks. If he came after the kids left for school then he probably used the front door and the path others used – of course destroying his tracks.
In short, The ex-lover either used the front door and tracks to it where messed up by the tree trimmer and the 911 response or he was in and out right after the father left and fresh snow covered those tracks.

New Castle weather data for that unfortunate day indicate three snow events from 7:56am to 8:20am. The next event was at 8:56am. This clearly indicates the ex-lover had ample time to arrive back at his parents house and have the truck cool down and have the early morning snowfall stay on his truck.
He would have missed the early morning snowfall in New Castle if he committed the crime after the children left for school at 8:13am, as the truck would be warm and snowfall on his truck would have melted away. The snowfall recorded at 9:56am, at 10:05, at 10:17am would definitely have stayed on his truck. By 10:34am the snowfall had ended. The police arrived at the crime scene at 10:13am, they went to the school, unsuccessfully attempted to contact the father, interrogated the children, had to run down leads on a black truck, all before going to the ex-lovers house. I doubt they would have arrived there before 10:34am when the last snow event ended.
My God where were these police trained? The evidence the police have seems to better fit the possibility the ex-lover committed the crime, but they seem to have dropped all suspicions when they saw snow on his truck.
I guess the question to ask is how much snow was on the truck and is the snowfall even relevant if he borrowed or took another vehicle?

And when did they actually get around to questioning Adam? That's what I want to know. When did police even figure out he had made threats against her?
Plus how relevant is the snowfall if he hired someone else to kill her as he apparently threatened to do. I'll have to go back and find where I read that though. In addition to all the direct threats she reported in the protective order.
