How does one "accidentally" murder a 12 year old girl in a remote forest? What are you basing the belief they weren't sexually assaulted on?

They are trying to prevent crime. They are trying to catch this man so he doesn't do this to another young girl. That is the best way they can prevent crime in this situation, getting this man off the streets. I'm not sure what else they could say at this point to make the community safer...

I believe the girls were initially alarmed. Thus turning her cellphone recorder on and trying to get him on the camera. This man had set off her spider sense but he had not yet engaged them. She either didn't feel calling 911 was necessary at that point, or she didn't think of it, who knows. It...

Murders like this are very difficult to solve. It doesn't involve just identifying the perpetrator, they have to build a prosecutable case against him that leaves no doubt in the juries mind, not one doubt. Prosecutors only get one shot at him. If they hastily push a case through and he beats...

LE's responsibility is to identify and apprehend the man who murderedered these girls. Period. They have no obligation to share anything pertaining to the case, and are absolutely not going to share anything that could possibly reduce the chances of catching this killer. Letting the...

Determining it was a homocide had nothing to do with DNA and was likely abundantly clear at first sight. The girls didn't die of a natural cause. strangulation or stabbing are very easy deaths to identify as homocide. If somehow they didn't find DNA on the bodies that doesn't mean it wasn't...

LE isn't going to tell the public they think a SK is on the lose. Whether they actually thought BG was in fact a serial murderer or not. That would create a mass panic and chaos. And until they identify the guy they don't know what crimes he's responsible for. Daniel Messel in Bloomington...

A rape would definitely be a sexually motivated assault, not a random attack for no reason. Whether he kills the victim after the sexual assault or not doesn't change the fact it's a sexually motivated assault. A sexual homocide is different than a rape as a sexual murderer derives a lot of the...

I think he absolutely woke up that day with murder on his mind, like he probably does most days. This is a predator with a dangerously warped pathology. I'm not sure what "snapped" means or how it would occur with children he didn't know, but normal men don't wake up one day and just happen to...

Yes, I said if a trial were to take place. A trial would not happen if a plea deal was reached.

LE held a press conference the night the girls disappeared and stated, we don't believe foul play is involved, our only concern is them being lost in the cold. That is what they said, it's not my opinion.

Good thinking, nice catch. I don't think anyone would have accessed the recording prior to the discovery of the bodies. Had the parents or anyone gotten a hold of that recording I think the area would have been flooded with LE immediately, that night. Probably a tactical group with thermal...

I can understand that. Not all SKs are totally organized or disorganized. Many have tendencies of both. I agree he was definitely out there that day "trolling" for victims. Something he probably spends the vast majority of his time doing. He wasn't bird watching and decided to put the binoculars...

It wasn't a robbery. It wasn't a gang war. It wasn't a drive by stray bullet. It wasn't a bar fight that escalated. Yeah I guess it could have been a "hit" <modsnip>. <modsnip> David Berkowitz, "Son of Sam", never made any physical contact with his victims yet his murders were sexually...

You don't think it was sexual? Why do you think he murdered them? Did they get into an argument that turned into a physical altercation and escalated into him murdering two 12 year old girls? Odds are astronomically small that this wasn't a sexual homocide. There is virtually no other motive...

I don't believe this was a kidnapping attempt. This was a sexual homocide. Had this been a kidnapping attempt he would have led them towards the area his vehicle was parked. Instead he led them into the middle of the woods. If he was able to direct them to the middle of the woods I see no reason...

They have the suspect, everyone knows who it is. The DA isn't going to rush into charges though, they only get one shot at him. At this point they can't even reasonably prove she's dead and that a murder took place, not enough time has passed since her disappearance. If they charge him now...

At this point I think the greatest tool LE, or anyone investigating has is prior cases. Not just SO, but anyone charged and or convicted of domestic abuse, battery, assault, stalking, kidnapping, etc. I believe the odds are very good that he has a criminal record. Compare mugshots of everyone in...

Seems like a strange case not in that what potentially happened to this young woman, but why was there virtually no investigation done? The car was clearly a part of a her disappearance and likely part of a crime scene. They had a strong suspect, her stolen vehicle he was likely seen driving...
