sorry if these have already come up in the flurry of tweets we’ve had, but just a couple of quotes (bolded) that caught my eye from this article:
Brendt Christensen's serial killer boast doubted in Chinese scholar case
BC:
"She was stronger than any victim I've ever had," he says, adding that some of his victims "
were gone in one punch."
“Prosecutors dangled the possibility Christensen killed before during openings last week.
Under most circumstances, mention of previous, unproven crimes would lead to a mistrial. But prosecutors seem to want to illustrate, not that Christensen actually killed others, but that homicidal fantasies motivated his killing of Zhang, whose body was never found.”

...from cutoff of cellphone data sounds like BC did disable YY very quickly once she was in the car (a taser?); and then I would think had to get her to an isolated spot (no cars, walkers, etc.) where he could stuff her into duffelbag without being seen, IF he even went straight home (which I’m doubtful of). How far would one have to drive to find such an isolated spot from where he was at?

One punch?
I wonder how he understands that sentence? Literal punch or gunshot?
I think he may have attempted to try persuading her to stay with him awhile.. he was able to confirm she was meeting a professor, she had made that arrangement for later that evening. It's a possible response to a question he asked her.
I'm a tad confused by forensic evidence, need to know something about quantity of blood spilled in the bedroom and whether dna they found under carpet had soaked through or whether it soaked through because of being diluted with copious quantities of cleaning fluid.
I'm not sure prosecution have proven that point adequately or at all.
Which injury killed her?
Was cadaver alert from dog for YY's corpse or had he killed others in that apartment and some body fluids escaped under the vanity?
I don't even know if the question was asked.
This is almost impossible.
His ref to limbs moving from a video he had watched in the final tweets from today suggest he may have been bluffing about his alleged sequence of actions.
He may have driven her somewhere to begin with, as you suggest.
He may have brought her home, injured her and driven her somewhere else while still alive, left her there to die, alone.
I mean , apart from cadaver dog, which could be anybody's body scent, what evidence is there that he killed her in the apartment?
He can get rid of a body in hours.
A master butcher?
Chucked her in a hole somewhere, opened a manhole in a different part of city, late at night? A sewer?
They wouldn't take hours, only minutes...
I've seen nothing proving the allegations he made on tape.
He describes a frenzied attack from which he allegedly did not receive sexual gratification.
He simply had a desire to kill? Why?
What was the positive intention in killing her?
What exactly did he gain by killing her?
