Here's a comment from a WS member, December, who is related to Kathy. She hasn't been here in a while. IIRC sexual assault was confirmed but its uncertain what evidence is still available, if any, for DNA testing. December was hoping to meet with Nashville PD, but had not been able to see any files on the case.
Nashville LE believes the perp is in prison, they have an idea who he is. The family had their own idea of a suspect as well, a man they knew but with whom they were not on friendly terms. One of the suspects lived fairly close to the crime scene.
Thanks Betty
Without any crime scene photos to work with I have to base my opinion just on what we do have here.
I don't think this was a planned, abduction, I think it was an opportunistic grab.
The offender wasn't really prepared for the abduction, hence why he had to use her own clothing to bind, and gag her.
Unfortunately this beautiful girl seems to have fallen victim, to the offenders perception, of injustice (real or imagined) against him... Namely Anger
I feel there was most likely a precipitating event that "set him off"
Though the offender inflicted a lot of pain upon her, the forced anal and vaginal rape, the marks on her buttocks, the callous indifference, it seems more indicative of anger (rage) than sadism, whereas id expect to see more torture style injuries, over a longer period of time.
Possibly with a slower more enduring style of killing the victim, commonly seen is sadistic killings, ex .. (repeated strangulation/release etc..)
In terms of physical violence visited upon the victim, the stabbing of the victim, tells volumes, this would be a different analysis if it were post mortem mutilation, however I feel the post mortem stabbing of the victim, which is evident by lack of blood flow to those injuries, demonstrates, that pretty, well.. he wasn't done with her, he felt the need, to take more out on her body, even though she was most likely deceased.
Another factor to consider, is that this individual might not have known she was deceased, when he decided to stab, her, furthering the notion, that this was a first time murder.
I don't think you'll find similar crimes in his background, for example, he didn't seem to know how to control a child though id certainly expect to see some prison time, for other crimes like assault, threats, theft, things along that line.
A history of a prison sentence, can also sometimes, evident by anal rape
I wouldn't however rule out further attacks, after this one, though not immediately .
Hell most likely be blue collar, lives or works, near where she was abducted, is at least familiar with where she was dumped.
If he has any military background id expect to see a dishonorable discharge, for behavioral issues, like, insubordination
I ll go one further, and say that there was most likely someone who knows, or at least strongly suspects, he was involved.
I think he would've been interviewed by police, and would've shown a lot of post offensive behavior.. increased use of alcohol or drugs , changing of appearance, unusual interest in the case, and possibly a sudden unexplained move to another area. He may even have confided, in someone about it,
Given this is all speculative, given that we were going off news reports.
