A few weeks after Jason's birth, during a well-baby checkup, Dr. Siegfried noticed that Jason screamed when she took off his diaper to examine him.
In Louisville, residents of Barbara Street thought the Midyettes were, for the most part, pretty good neighbors. A woman who lived across the street from them, but who didn't want to give her name, told Crime Library: "They always seemed very, very nice. It seemed like they had a lot of friends."
Starting just a few weeks after Jason was born, one of the couple's two cars was usually parked at home during the day, the neighbor recalled. She said she believes either Alex or Molly would stay home with the baby while the other one worked. The neighbor said she never saw any sign that the Midyettes used a babysitter or nanny.

William Chandler, who lived next door to the Midyettes for at least two years, spoke to Molly occasionally when they saw each other in their front yards. The only problem he ever had with them, Mr. Chandler said, was when he came home one day and found that Alex had torn down the chainlink fence separating their back yards—the fence belonged to Chandler—and replaced it with a wooden privacy fence.
Alex and Molly had plenty of visitors and Alex and his friends often played basketball in the back yard, Mr. Chandler told Crime Library. At least twice after the fence incident, Mr. Chandler's grandchildren told him that they smelled burning marijuana coming from the Midyettes' yard.
