I can see too why LE suggested it. But post post arrest, the issue I have with him targeting the house first is that on the night he didn't take advantage of the trees and wooded area and walk there then wait for lights out. He drove around and entered Queen street four times, finally parking after a 3 pointer and a u turn at 4.04 to 4.06 (personal calculation based on PCA). One explanation is that he did plan to take better advantge of the houses secludedness from the rear, but blew plan on the night, owing to some sort of emotional melt down, and threw caution to the wind.MOO. But, yeah, I can see how the house offered other advantages, easily traversed doors, party rep, relaxed security, balcony, etc. And for all anyone knows at this point, he may have watched it from the tree line, or car late at night on previous occasions (per PCA and 12 previous occasions where phone pings off nearby cell tower). MOO
ETA perhaps I'm surmising that it began with the house then over time he became emotionally invested in the targets (post stalking both digital and actual) so that on the night he lost control and blew his initial plan of approach. Speculation MOO.
