I think your posts has many good points, but my observations are:
Normal middle age adults do know their phone tracks. 30-year-olds know it, 40-year-olds do, so to 50 and 70-year-olds. In fact the data show older people are more conscious of privacy implications and threats.
Sure, grandma may get phished by "John Smith" an "IRS agent" with a district Mumbai accent asking for her to pay her tax bill with Target gift cards, but on the other hand, the average 23-year-old would go catatonic if separated from their phone for five mintues. In fact actually I don't know a 20-25 year old who could find their way out of a paper bag without their phone, so there is that.
As far as DNA, I have seen plenty of forensic experts on the news and youtube spout statistics and experience of dna being likely left if perp has edged weapons'.
Well I have no degree in forensic science, but I have actually used an hilted knife in training, a couple of 12 hour sessions in advanced training with a knife after basic, and done a lot of full force stabbing of dummies with a combat knife, including rapid and very powerful stabbing and never nicked my skin the whole time. I think the forensic experts are thinking of the 99%ish percent of stabbings that involve a fight, and/or where the knife is a kitchen or EDC knife with no hilt. stab hard with a kitchen knifes, especially with hands or gloves wet with blood, and your hand slides forward and you cut yourself. NOT with a combat knife. For all we know if he wore a watch cap, and any type of gloves, maybe none of the perp's dna or prints are there, and also maybe the perp had very very little blood on him.
Diogenetic,
Thanks for your posts. They are vey, very helpful on many levels.
All this is imho- pure speculation.
At the very beginning of this I assumed this perp was gloved, possibly suited up, was prepared to commit a crime skillfully without leaving DNA evidence.
This is exactly what I am afraid of - I am afraid they don’t necessarily have a clear sample of this perp’s DNA.
Your post lends credibility to the advanced level of skill this perp has with his combat K-bar style knife and it’s chilling.
I wanted to think he was a rapist with a knife but now I think he is very possibly a murderer who is trained in combat through his profession, previous profession, or on his own accord and who purely thrill kills. He was skilled enough to rape if that was his intention but now I’m not so sure that was ever part of his mindset.
Maybe he intended to rape if he found a single female victim alone in this house but that didn’t happen.
I don’t think this is his first rodeo and horrifyingly won’t be his last unless he is caught and locked up.
This happened under cover of darkness but is the work of a very brazen, well-prepared perp. I will reiterate that imho this perp is 30-50, not a student, not someone who targeted any particular resident of the ill-fated house.This perp knew this was a house full of pretty girls who partied and he struck on a night when he knew they wold likely be inebriated and asleep.
I think it is somewhat unprecedented to keep a crime scene/ murder scene taped off for this long. They keep returning to this house. Tonight there were 5 agents who returned to X’s room and presumably took more forensic evidence.
X’s room is where the “fight back“ occurred and where the greatest chance of retrieving forensic evidence from a slipped knife or accidental wound would be.
I think he killed K and M first and fairly quickly and easily.
He may have found all three other occupied bedroom doors locked before heading up to the third floor.
After killing K and M he must have encountered E in the hallway. E heard something and went to investigate or he simply took an ill-fated bathroom break and ran into the killer who took X out last and less easily than K and M.
Exit may well have been on first floor, door not locked and blown wide open by daylight.
I hope they are running extensive checks on the group of men who used this house as a boarding house in the past and their close friends as well. But I think this perp may have easily slipped into this house and back out in the days or weeks ahead of this crime so he knew the layout completely.
Again all this is pure speculation on my part.
And yes, this horrific crime is on my mind and is disturbing my sleep. This is a nightmare crime.
Praying for the families and friends of these four victims. Praying for all their friends who lost their innocence over this crime and will live with this and carry this their entire lives.
They will have countless sleepless disturbed nights, PTDS and more. God bless them.
Praying this perp is caught and brought to swift justice so we can all sleep more easily.
