ROCKFORD – They know it won’t change how he died, but the Blooms are seeking answers about their son’s death.About 8:15 p.m., Scott Feldkamp was clearing dishes from dinner when he heard his father say “no, no, no” and saw him fighting with Doran Bloom.
Scott Feldkamp then went to help, but was stabbed. Bloom then attacked Audrey Feldkamp as Scott Feldkamp ran upstairs to get a gun, loaded it, and ran into the hallway before firing over a banister.
Scott Feldkamp called 911, and police were dispatched at 8:23 p.m.
McHenry County Sheriff’s deputies entered the home through an open garage door and heard a man calling for help. Scott Feldkamp was lying on the floor in the living room, conscious and alert, but with stab wounds.
Doran Bloom was lying on his stomach on the floor near the front door, while John Feldkamp, 83, was in a sitting position against the wall and front door. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene, but Scott Feldkamp was taken by ambulance to Sherman Hospital in Elgin and eventually released.
Police also heard a female moaning, Fiduccia said, and found Audrey Feldkamp in a sitting area of a bedroom. She was unresponsive with very unstable vital signs, and her condition had deteriorated when she arrived at the emergency room at 10:36 p.m. Her time of death was 11:02 p.m.
Doran Bloom’s parents said they were frustrated with the lack of information they have received from the sheriff’s office and believed there might be more to what happened that evening.
They said they had a “pretty good read” on their son and that he had been symptom-free. Fiduccia also said the toxicological report showed that he had been compliant with his medications.
But the Blooms also recognize that they might not find the answers to their questions
Doran Bloom’s death was ruled a homicide during a coroner’s inquest Friday, as were the deaths of John “Jack” and Audrey Feldkamp, an elderly couple from Marengo, whom police said Bloom stabbed to death on June 7.
Bloom also attacked the Feldkamps’ son, Scott, who then retrieved a gun and shot Bloom several times, police said. Police have said that Doran Bloom, 27, stabbed the Feldkamps, who lived down the street on Somerset Drive, as part of a random act of violence.
Bloom’s parents, Cliff and Susan Bloom, hired a private investigator about a month ago, but have not heard back regarding what information he might have found. They said their son, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia about 10 years ago, was never violent. They are trying to determine whether there was a connection between Doran and the Feldkamps or a reason the incident might have happened.
Susan Bloom said Doran was sitting outside the family’s home, where he would go to smoke. She then noticed he was gone, but had left behind things such as his cell phone.
“Why did he go a half mile down the road?” Susan Bloom said. “We just don’t understand.”
The coroner’s inquest was held in Winnebago County because Audrey Feldkamp, 81, died at OSF St. Anthony Medical Center in Rockford, where she had been airlifted. Inquests for her husband as well as Bloom were held at the same time.
Winnebago County Coroner Sue Fiduccia told jurors that Audrey Feldkamp had gone out to dinner with friends June 7 and returned home to her husband and son, Scott, who had been staying there for the past few months. She then went into the bedroom to go to bed.
“There’s a high likelihood we may never know what happened,” Cliff Bloom said
