Just now on KSHB channel 41 (NBC affiliate) news, they said police are trying to get Amazon Alexa Cloud Storage from inside the apartment. They said they think the suspect may have been inside the apartment with the victims for several hours before the crime.

I'm Chilean and it's all over the news over here.

So sad to hear.

Very sad and sorry for the victims. My guess is it's some kind of robbery, but of course we don't know for sure yet. That area has a lot of bartenders and servers who (from what I hear locally) get robbed on their way home with their tips after the bars close.

I hope LE is able to retrieve information from Amazon Cloud.
Maybe the killer was listed on their Cloud intinerary.

Why on earth would you kill 2 medical students?

I wonder if they were being pressed to supply drugs and medication for someone?

That's the only reason I can think of. ....

They weren't medical students. They were researchers. Can't imagine they'd have access to drugs (and FTR, medical students don't either).
 
On tonight's news segment on KSHB channel 41 (NBC affiliate), they interviewed a young woman who lived across the hall. She said they were both very kind and had parties. They also showed the apartment with evidence of fire in a 2nd story window. (Rightmost apartment)

This is probably paywalled from the KC Star but it says one had previously worked on spinal cord regeneration and one had previously worked on metabolic changes in fruit flies: (probably nothing related to human drugs I don't think)

 
As far as potential motives related to their research, I wonder if either worked with embryonic stem cells.
