During my frat days. The parties were generally open to anyone.....as long as that anyone was female. Usually the only guys were the frat brothers and their male friends. But the parties were always open to all women on campus. Yeah I know.......just sad.
If the references to the murders being “a targeted attack” were made in the context of community safety, it doesn’t work unless the target was specific to the person(s). If it’s a “type” then those types are not safe until the killer is apprehended.
Yes. It seems the kids were blessed with caring, involved parents. They so eloquently speak of their kids & their loss. I’d be a babbling mess.
I worked at a nonprofit which helped victims navigate the Title IX system. While it does have its problems, the ultimate aim is to protect the privacy and autonomy of victims. It is an extraordinarily personal and difficult decision for a survivor to decide to report their assault to police. Doing so means potentially agreeing to have a (highly invasive) rape kit performed, forensic interviews with detectives, and testifying against the person who assaulted them in court. College staff calling 911 because a student reports having been sexually assaulted removes that agency from them –– they no longer have a say in whether they want to pursue an emotionally challenging and drawn out legal proceeding. Oftentimes victims of sexual assault feel powerless and retaining the ability to decide whether or not to press charges allows them to reclaim some of that power.
You are right. Unenviable position.
Ummm.. I don't see anything remarkable about this whatsoever. Some random drunks in a field making too much noise... not a chance that this is the perp or perps. The party itself? Could have some nuggets.. The police blotter.. don't see it.
Lol. I was never in the Greek community but I know exactly what you're talking about with the frats! I did have some friends in sororities and there were plenty of guys at those parties.
Maybe they blame her a little. If E hadn't been with her, etc. it's not reasonable, but with that amount of grief, people react in different ways to find a way to cope in the short-term.
This made me sad that no one spoke on her behalf that was a loved one.
I had that thought too but hopefully that’s not the case.
Grief can take you to some dark places.
I thought the “targeted attack” comment was made to put community fears to rest.
See!!! I’m so glad you found it. I had the exact same reaction. I gasped when I watched this.
Ii would take a significantly more amount of commitment and intestinal fortitude to do this with a knife. This was not a physically easy task to see through to completion. It would appear that he had some how gained prior knowledge of the home and occupants, as others have rightly mentioned. Having dealt with uncooperative patients for thirty plus years (a small percentage thank the Lord), whom we were there to aid, I can’t get my mind around the chaos that took place in that home when someone is trying to kill four people. You can have a patient that is moderately sedated (as would be the case with alcohol), and even with the slightest stimulation, their fight or flight system can overcome what you have given them as if it was nothing. Without a doubt, once adrenaline kicked in, these young ladies had the ability to make this difficult, not to mention the young man. If this was a first time kill I would be amazed, because this was a difficult, heinous task. Not one that in my opinion could be accomplished by a first time offender.
Even if this is completely unrelated to the murders, this means the cops were basically right outside the house where the murders were happening at the time they were happening!! What are the chances?!?
Interesting theory, but that raises the question of how they got the weapon there.
It's how politics work but this is a mass murder with the eyes of the world upon it.
