Indeed.

If it is proven he took all those precautions, it would certainly remove a “crime of passion“ as his defense. That would pretty much lockdown premeditation. According to “Locard’s Principle”, an offender always leaves something at a crime scene, and takes something away. Of course, according to...

Can confirm a sliding glass door ”lock” is easy to Jimmy. We had a break-in through a basement SGD, and the police officer showed me how easy it is to do with a screwdriver, in just a second. It doesn’t even damage the “lock.” Always have something that blocks the door from sliding open. It can...

In regards to what OtisC said about not victim blaming, but the what, where and when of each victim being important is so true. How these poor souls ended up on the killers radar is one important issue. As organized as this seems, it likely wasn’t THAT night. Something may have brought it to a...

One thought that keeps echoing through this case for me, is that the killer knew this house and it’s occupants well enough to know, he wasn’t bringing a knife to a gun fight. MOO

Perhaps to make it look like someone who was at the crime scene wasn’t there?

Unfortunately, sliding glass door locks are easy to open, without even breaking the lock. I had a basement with one, and my home was broken into the day after Christmas one year. They stole my kids Christmas presents. When LEO’s showed me how easy it was to use a screwdriver to get the latch up...

Particularly when discussing stabbing through heavy bedding. Either way, it would become progressively “less sharp”, as the crime progressed. This took a significant amount of energy for four victims. MOO

In our area, the coroner is an elected official. The current one is a mortician at a funeral home.

Good question. There has been some discussion about the thickness of the blankets and/or quilts, due to the temperature in Idaho at the time of the crime, effecting blood cast-off, and the amount of blood that might/might not have been present at the scene. Those are excellent observations, but...

This theory reminds me of the UC Santa Barbara case. He just wanted to target pretty women in particular, and the men they had chosen as suitors over himself. Very delusional thought process.

Ii would take a significantly more amount of commitment and intestinal fortitude to do this with a knife. This was not a physically easy task to see through to completion. It would appear that he had some how gained prior knowledge of the home and occupants, as others have rightly mentioned...

If there was more than one person involved, it will ultimately have them turning on each other. What is the old saying… “three people can keep a secret, if two of them are dead.” The Holly Bobo case is a good example, and it took a while to solve, but when the detectives started getting close...

They likely would not have been brought out of sleep by their sense of smell, but with a central heat system running, the environment of the murder’s would be distributed throughout the house. With snow on the ground, the heater was likely running. In reference to Travis Alexander’s situation...

If you assume the timeline is close to correct, these poor souls had been deceased between six and seven hours when the roommates awoke, and eventually contacted LEO’s. I won’t go into details about the body and death, but a murder this brutal, with that much time elapsing, a central heating...

Locard’s Exchange Princpile: In forensic science, Locard's principle holds that the perpetrator of a crime will bring something into the crime scene and leave with something from it, and that both can be used as forensic evidence.
