At her level of education I am sure her English language fluency was high, particularly receptive language ability. So jmo I don't think simple confusion played a part.

1. Correct, they only cited BC'S statement.

I get that, but otoh, if he had the place to himself, it would seem the obvious location? Where else could he have that private space to do whatever sick things he wanted to do? A hotel? An empty apartment he knew of? And why say he did if he didn't? Why not say "...I took her [out in the...

Is it true that defense lawyers do not ask and do not want to hear if their client is guilty of a crime? If so, how so they avoid it?

I wonder if it means that there was no physical evidence in the apt., then? Because if there was, in addition to the circumstantial, no jury nowhere would have reasonable doubt and why not just plead guilty, give up the body location, and strike whatever paltry deal they could? Or do you mean...

Interesting take. I hadn't thought of that. It might have even crossed his mind at the time to stop and let her out, but he suppressed it. Yeah, I bet he wished he had when he realized there were cameras recording.

If last ping was in fact there he nearly immediately took her phone probably within 2 minutes, which makes obvious sense .He probably told about the "panic" thinking the more truthful his account of droppng her off, the better he'd fare on that statement on a lie detector?

I wondered that too. That would be obvious af but ... youd think he'd have been equally scrupulous on his side as well since he must have touched her at several junctures?

His dad? What did I miss? His dad was there? Im still catching up.

My first impression was that she looked uncomfortable and sad. But hard to tell. How do we know he didnt attend the vigil to make LE think he was innocent and distraught. If not, he must have really felt powerful seeing the human grief and fear he had caused.

Thank you for that. In your opinion as a local, are the Stonegate apartments far nicer than the One North or whatever that YZ was going to lease? Like hugely nicer?

I agree 100% that he had some clever ruse such as an ID lanyard,etc. and no doubt after fantasizing/planning these scenarios extensively it was hellishly convincing.

Agree strongly: The circumstantial evidence is immense. Add to that what I feel sure is physical and/or digital evidence, and I think BC is done for. On the ride, I know that YZ has been repeatedly characterized as cautious and careful, but I also wonder if Chinese culture and education made...

My strong sense is that LE's certainty of death is due to their having found blood - or possibly images/video. I just had a creepy thought: Possibly another party living there saw YZ in the apartment at least initially, and thought she was role playing abduction?

Maybe he had so many women coming and going that nobody would have paid attention, if he had managed to subdue or threaten YZ into silence? Hard to believe, but after the Cheshire murders, where Mrs. Petit was forced under threat to go into her bank all alone and withdraw money without alerting...

I caught that too. But if he began program in 2013, maybe he passed his orals (if Science pps do those), and/or finished his thesis, ie finished all departmental requirements, and as that professor said, only had non-physics coursework left to finish, so he felt ok about referring to himself...

Between 6/7 and 6/24, you mean?

I apologize if it's been discussed before, but do we know where he was the night of and the day following, YZ's disappearance? Or whether he was online? And I personally think he would have driven south or southeast (if he is guilty.) It's plenty rural and sparsely populated in many areas...

Exactly.

Any mention of BC's family attending the hearing, or otherwise being on scene to support him? Also, I was extra chilled and creeped out by the OKC line about "wanting to experience everything." Yes, he may be an articulate video gamer with a high IQ and an ability to express himself, but he...
