I'd love to see cattlekate's visual analysis. I tried to make my numbers squeeze into LE's estimate, but couldn't make that work - unless the door installations are under 80" including frame (6'2 opening?):

When I saw the press release, I found myself shaking my head in confusion. I spend many days analyzing the video, researching, and measuring. I'm now left wondering how law enforcement attained their height estimates. The reason I wonder, is because I have arrived at pretty different numbers. So...

Excellent point. But as I recall, Toole was a drifter who murdered strangers. It was also a much different time, with limited technology. I'm willing to bet MB's murderer is neither a drifter nor a stranger.

Could not agree more. A pathetic piece of human garbage unfit to even acknowledge. Unfortunately, in order to find out what makes a person like that tick, you have to try to get inside their head or understand their motive. To my eyes, this crime was thoroughly and methodically planned. Risky...

Correct. Isolated frames from two different cameras show no bare hand:

I admit that's a very clever thought. But connecting the dots, where could you possibly send it that it wouldn't be discovered? Most packages end up somewhere or bounce back to the original shipper. Someone is bound to open it if it does either.

I'm certain this particular video was edited by LE, but there is also a negative quirk with motion detection cameras where the default setting is somewhere between 10 and 120 seconds (2 mins) recording time after motion is detected. At the end of that 2 minute session, the camera will pause for...

I have never thought about this much until this case, but I wonder how thorough LE digs into online purchases made by POI and their businesses. For instance, someone the other day posted an alibaba shop item listing of the POLICE patches. I had no idea you could just buy that sort of thing...

That's what I see as well. Putting the pry bar back in a pocket in the vest, maybe.

Something was just posted on my NextDoor neighborhood page just a couple days ago regarding training exercises being held near me. I don't live in TX, but I do live near a small airport, a firing range, and some abandoned structures. We have these exercises several times a year, some of which...

Interesting ideas. My thoughts all along have been along the lines of an on foot-to-motorcycle getaway scenario. I hope we learn more about this soon. I have always wondered if I would even notice a vehicle if I were in MB's shoes. I'm a woman, and I consider myself very wary and...

From the interviews I've watched, blogs and articles I've read, there was a flurry of calls exchanged amongst family members within an hour or two of the murder. None of that sounds unusual to me - even the mistaken information that there had been an "accident". I know from experience how bad...

I've thought a fair bit about this too. It wasn't just an average-sized bundle - pants, shirt, etc. It was likely quite bulky, maybe even padded. It would have been large, especially if boots and helmet were discarded. For that reason, my personal guess is it's somewhere pretty remote rather...

Thanks for the excellent insight. I figured something like this all along - that her attacker knew the schedule down to the minute. I've never taken CG classes, but I did attend dog training classes at nearby schools, parks, churches. The instructor always arrived early on site to set out...

Compelling observation. I briefly considered a neuropathy as well. There were a couple points in the footage that hinted at it. Then I wondered if the concrete side-hallways may be sloped, as you'd see in the aisles/halls of a theater or auditorium. That got nixed when I found photos of a-frame...

Something in that general neighborhoood. Like I say, I don't know much about lens distortions or exact hardware installations at that location, so It could be off.

I accounted for the helmet and shoe soles. Keep in mind, the original surveillance footage is very distorted from a wide-angle lens perspective, especially around the outer edges of the frame. My only digital lens-correction is a filter setting in Photoshop, so I'm unsure of it's accuracy...

I conducted my own evaluation of the video, and simply came to a different conclusion than other folks. I'm a medical and technical illustrator with decades of experience in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology. My opinion is based on my own observational experience and knowledge. Keep in mind, I...

There are probably a whole bunch of us that have never been convinced the suspect is a female. So you'll hear opinions from both sides on this subject.

The most interesting thing to me in that video is not so much what he is saying, but what he is doing while saying it. In that interview, I counted no less than 15 signs of deception in his body language and verbal cues. Everything from covering his mouth with his fingers multiple times, shaking...
