About the "clerical error" that reportedly delayed the successful closure of the investigation -- blame is being assigned. It may not be as reported. To protect the reputation of sworn law enforcement personnel (people with arrest authority) in the eyes of the public, analysts (also highly...

If no one else has directed you, the man was Dennis Rader (correct spelling). He was the BTK serial killer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Rader

Yes. Maybe someone not immediately obvious felt strung along, or was overly emotionally attached? And, out of that they snapped? Is this what you are getting to in your question?

It is called the controlling arm. The open hand grabs the victim, and this limits defensive motion and escape. It's a common move in a knife attack.

This is an unfortunate topic when applied in truth as occurred against the four students killed by knife violence. Life is precious. However, with personal security in mind, I study knife violence, knife defense, patterns of personal security, etc. It doesn't seem (analytical qualifier) to...

This has come up several times, whereby conventional wisdom people expect the hand of the assailant to slip and cut himself on the blade during the attack. If the knife had a hand guard of any significance, it might have prevented the expected slipping of the hand on to the blade during the...

About knives, because that tool is central to this crime -- someone once said, "A knife needs no training, and never needs reloading." People assume prior military or personal combat training. Maybe not. Maybe simple rage, energy, and physical power are at work? Edit: Corrected information...

Universities are big business. The victims were students. If this is going to impact the university, the state government may have made some phone calls to bring in other assets? (Just my thoughts.)

Greetings, Britinsussex. There is a high level of ambiguity in the publicly released information. You are in good company. :)

I wonder if the police are saying that to cover for other discovered information? Misdirection is a tactic.

Gray Hughes released a five minute video discussing word choice in an interview with Superintendent Carter.

I appreciate your disciplined approach. It comes up in several of your posts over time. The reminder to wait on the unsealing of the Arrest Affidavit is a good one.

If RA was local, and the conservation officer was local, I wonder if the conservation officer took RA's statement and then put a conclusion into the report that it was not a concern? Made to appear less threatening by familiarity? (My own questions and thoughts.)

1. If he reports it to a sworn officer of the law (in this case a conservation officer), he can say, "I did my due diligence and self-reported." The level of follow-through by the conservation officer is on that individual. A highly conscientious officer would have made sure someone in a core...

On the thread, people have been occasionally mentioning how some electronic media has been overwritten and there is an assumption that investigation necessary information has been lost. Maybe not so. If there is enough official interest special methods can be employed to examine the hard...

The word leak has several uses in a circumstance like this. A leak can be deliberate or an act of error -- someone slips and lets something go. Where a release of information is done deliberately, it can be done from several motivations. Anger, frustration, disappointment, revenge, etc., are...

Denial is an amazing thing. Sometimes it's a manufactured thing that takes energy. People have to assert innocence. When the emotional energy for denial drops, then people start changing their story. Then there are some people are so compartmentalized in their minds that they are functionally...

Several people in the thread have commented on a before the event and after the event change of appearance in pictures of RA. There was some question if RA had suffered moral conscience or an awareness that killing someone was not what he thought it would be. There could be another factor...
