He used to be a student at university Washington so I’m wondering if he had a connection… going to the house for parties in previous years
Brilliant you are. I was stuck on GPS, a tracking device, or else a possible cell phone trace/geofencing. This is so tragic too.I think he has been on their suspect list for some time. The key is the white Elantra. I’m sure LE put a database together of social media followers of victims. Then once the white car clue arrives they put together a database of Elantra owners or Elantra drivers in the area that had car service. Then they compare the social media and car databases and anyone on both lists is on LE’s suspect list. Finally some dna evidence is found so LE sneaks some dna evidence from people on their suspect list. LE then has their prime suspect with a dna match
If he didn‘t use university parking. A car would be on file if he had a parking permit. Parking is always tough on or near campuses; many students park nearby and walk or live in nearby off-campus housing. I spent years in grad school and never parked in a U lot.Why wouldn't WSU have had his auto on file?
Well, no, but it happens. We've seen names etc mentioned here in this case before being removed but this was not a name that I had seen mentioned. Nor anywhere else either.No, and it wouldn't have been allowed here unless he had been named by LE.
This doesn’t surprise me one bit, because I really think he got “caught” by Ethan and Xana and had to fight them to get away. I think his intent was to kill one or both of the upstairs victims."His DNA matched material at the scene."

I think he knew, for at least a couple of weeks, that they were onto him. The constant drum beat of that Elantra. He had to rethink every moment of Nov 12-13 and wonder what they had. I was convinced they had found the Elantra two weeks ago, because while it was still up on the MPD website as an ask from the public, Chief Fry started shifting to other topics (and then to context).
He must have had some idea that his DNA was left at the scene. Or something else got dropped.
He knew it was just a matter of time. IMO.

I wonder why too! Could in belong to a parent or gf? Or, it’s his and it’d draw attention to himself if he suddenly had no car. JMOwhy keep the car?
Video shows he graduated in PA in May 2022When was he a student at U of W? He was a current student (starting Fall 2021) at Washington State University WSU).
Yes you are correct I was reading the info so fast!When was he a student at U of W? He was a current student (starting Fall 2021) at Washington State University WSU).
I'm not here to debate it's authenticity, I just noticed that profile that could very well be his was following her. Real or not, I have no idea.You can type anything you want in that box.
Yup. I got chills when I read it. It scared me at the time, and here we are. Why was he in Washington for his PhD? Was school his safe space, did he actually have an aspiration that required it, or could he not get a job?I was very impressed reading your theory yesterday that this would be an older, socially awkward student or grad student that was still hanging on to campus life (along with your own personal experience of dealing with this profile). A lot more details will come out soon, but I think you nailed it.
Maybe someone in his apartment complex turned him in, for the car. Or maybe someone he dated. Or at some Quik Lube, had he been to one recently.If he didn‘t use university parking. A car would be on file if he had a parking permit. Parking is always tough on or near campuses; many students park nearby and walk or live in nearby off-campus housing. I spent years in grad school and never parked in a U lot.
Wonder if the car was on file at his University for parking privileges? For a TA sticker or special parking area? People in his small circle (school, apartment, etc) will be interviewed by reporters/LE obviously. Maybe the car was garaged and he rarely drove it anywhere, so he didn't think it would be an important link back to him? For instance, maybe he was known to ride a bike everywhere?I think he has been on their suspect list for some time. The key is the white Elantra. I’m sure LE put a database together of social media followers of victims. Then once the white car clue arrives they put together a database of Elantra owners or Elantra drivers in the area that had car service.

I hope so too. He better not go the insanity route though.If he is the killer I hope he talks and tells LE everything about how he did it and why.
