If you google USMC KABAR sheaths you'll see a variety of options, some of which are far sturdier than others. Some are held to a belt with nothing more than a piece of stringy leather smaller than the average shoestring. There are also KABAR sheath attachments for belts that use snaps so people...

We don't know what sort of sheath he had, only that it said KABAR USMC, and a google search shows a wide variety of them that could easily be dislodged from a belt during a fight. For example, look at the loop fastening this one to the belt, it doesn't scream sturdy to me...

I've looked at a bunch of the leather USMC KABAR sheaths online and most fasten to the belt with a snap. A lot of people seem to think that he must not have had the sheath on his belt, but IDK, seems like it's perfectly reasonable to think he did have it attached to his belt and it was dislodged...

Guessing surviving roommate actually heard "it's OK, I'm not going to hurt you."

Sorry, outside of the bedroom is what I meant to write.

His DNA at the scene on the knife sheath, his footprint outside, his cell phone movements, and his car, all place him at the crime scene at the time of the murder. He's dead to rights, IMO. I wonder if he'll strike a deal to avoid the death penalty in the near future.

I doubt you'd come in wearing all black, with a mask, and a KBAR knife in a sheath on your waste if you just want to be an indoor peeping tom. Seems like everything indicates he came to attack one or more of them given his dress and the weapon...

I am considering her a surviving victim, I haven't implied she's not a victim in any way. But I am also questioning why she would do what she did. She saw someone in a ski mask prowling through her house at 4AM and didn't call 911 until the morning... I always assumed they slept through it or...

Both those sites only work with LE if they’re legally required to (l.e. subpoenaed). I remember what you’re talking about, LE access to genetic databases was very controversial when it first started.

It is odd that his parents didn't just fly him home rather than flying his father out there to then drive 2,500 miles back to PA. Perhaps they just wanted to road trip together, or maybe there was something else going on... I think a lot of parents live in denial about their kids committing...

It was reported in some way, shape, or form, back at the very beginning, but couldn’t be corroborated. It may very well be true, but we just have no way of knowing at this point.

It’s a bit more nuanced than that. I personally am fine with LE using genealogy to find perpetrators of violent crime, but it can be considered a slippery slope. Violent crime is one thing, but I do not want every small nonviolent crime, like petty theft, drug use, etc case using familial DNA…

Extradition is just procedural at this point. He’s not in another country, he’s in PA. He may buy himself a tiny bit of time, and irritate LE, but that’s it. IMO, there is no way he will get anything from LE by agreeing not to fight extradition, they’ll just wait out the court process and then...

You’re making sense to me. The whole genealogical match made me think that is how they identified him initially, and then found he still was in possession of the car. It wouldn’t surprise me if multiple people provided tips about him owning the white Elantra, but they had so so many tips, and...

Ever since we learned that K went to sleep in M’s room, I’ve been wondering if this crime was actually personally motivated, M may be the more likely target. I’m leaning towards him wanting to kill more than one of them, largely because LE said they were all attacked while sleeping. I think he...

I mean, look at us right now, obsessing over murder on a Friday night. Difference is we haven’t stabbed a bunch of college kids (presumptively). ;)

Yeah, I’m on the same page. You don’t just wake up one day and decide to stab four 20 year olds to death. MOO, he’s been wanting to murder for a long time and finally decided to do it. The fact that he was in a doctoral program for criminology and studied at DeSales under a renowned serial...

MOO The timeline is too short for that. To enroll in a doctoral program, you need more time to apply, accept, etc. Three months isn’t long enough for all that process…

My theory is he ran out of energy.

He also was not living In WA at the time. He was still in the middle of his master’s degree in PA. Although it’s likely he visited the campus in Pullman before he chose to enroll. I would hope if he stabbed that couple in Oregon, they’d have some DNA to compare.
