I agree with that. You've got to parse that verbiage carefully in order to get a clear sense of what's meant. There were undoubtedly multiple prints, but only one was germane to the affidavit.

Anything over two is overkill, if you ask me!

Funny, I don't see that pipe that ran along the bottom of the siding in the post-crime photos. For what it's worth, I'm convinced it was blood. The area was just beneath where E and X were murdered, and based on reports, I think there was a significant amount of blood.

Either that or he's a psychopath and enjoys killing. I still haven't made up my mind one way or the other.

I used to do research on the Zodiac Killer, and I can't tell you how many times I was approached by people telling me they had some astounding evidence, or solved his mysterious ciphers. My response was always the same, namely, why are you telling me this? Why don't you go to the police?

Not surprising, under the circumstances.

If we're talking about sociopaths, if I had any way of doing it (which I don't, having taken a different path in life) I'd love to do research and see if they have some sort of deficiency that prevents them from dreaming, or affects their ability to associate to the extent that when they dream...

I think it's a possibility.

I'm thinking they might just be "planting seeds" for possible use in any future appeal.

Of course! To think otherwise would be to say that a woman who dresses in a certain way is fair game for any passing rapist. They could have left their doors and windows wide open 24 hours a day, and it wouldn't have excused him for what he did.

Yes, the worst thing you can do is give them national and even worldwide publicity, which only goes to encourage others to do the same. I've noticed that the infamous mass killings usually come in clusters, and I think it's due to others with similar ideation discovering just how much attention...

I can't help but think that a person who can't be deterred by the prospect of spending his entire life in prison is the sort of person you don't want loose in society.

If I were a juror I'd feel outraged that they went that route, especially since it has no bearing on the defendant's guilt. But then, they don't want me or my ilk as jurors.

My take on it is that he had been obsessing over it for some time, and when the deed was finally done he felt a great sense of relief at having gotten it out of his system. Based on what we're finding out about him, I don't think he felt any particular guilt or sense of remorse. He'd be worried...

Ah, December 30. For some reason I was thinking it was more recent.

And though he seems to have carried out the deed himself, another person could have been involved in information-gathering; reconnoitering, etc.

Exactly. And if you notice, the door to DM's room opens inward, so if it were dark inside she could be peeking out a small crack into whatever ambient light existed at the time. She would have seen him just fine, but he couldn't have seen her.

Perhaps there was the possibility of a confederate, which is still being investigated, and they don't want to give anybody a heads-up. Public safety? He's supposedly the only perp, and he's behind bars. Unless that's just a generic term.

Are we sure she ordered Jack-in-the-Box? Their website shows no location in Moscow, and one location in Pullman, open from 6AM to 12AM.

Which is perhaps why the affidavit states "approximately" instead of giving it as a definite time.
