In fact I'm sure the police will do their due diligence and see if there might be a connection. No different then a sex offender getting arrested for an offence and trying to see if maybe he matches up against other cases.

I see what you're saying, but this appears on the surface to be a unique incident, one with clear ties between the intended victim (the grandfather) and the suspect (his sister is in a common-law relationship with a member of the Liknes family). From what we've heard about the suspect, it's mostly been small time crime, drug offenses, ID theft and fraud and things like that, it doesn't appear to that he has a history of violent crime. I'd be surprised if he's suspected in anything beyond this.
