What would that imply?
Thank you for giving voice to my anger better than I could have.
The fact is, if Kalen Schlatter did this (and I am confident he did based on everything I know) it's not just that he murdered Tess, which would be more than enough to think him monstrous.
It's that he left her there for...
It would definitely be a factor at trial. I do wonder whether his social media presence was erased between arrest and police presser with the help of a lawyer though to make sure the press only had his "heroic" act to run with. It just seems so thorough.
Okay, that's wonderful conceptually but maybe not an entirely appropriate sentiment to throw at people who are still in the midst of processing something that happened very close to home for many of us.
I just can't get over what a genuinely pathetic loser the perpetrator turned out to be. Tess doesn't deserve to have her name linked to this guy's forever and I look forward to the day I remember hers but forget his completely.
I think the thing is that his behaviour was appalling, but for the most part unfortunately not far enough outside the range of what is considered "acceptable" from awkward young men to ring alarm bells.
I know we've (particularly dudes) got a lot of work to do on changing that.
Yes! I won't name anything specific, but I keep seeing reports of wildly inappropriate behaviour that was, and still is, just being written off or seen as no big deal.
Especially if someone is crossing the line into making unwanted physical contact or inappropriate sexual comments, I don't...
I really think this is some pretty wild speculation and can't imagine what it's based on at this point. Trans people are far more likely to become the victims of violence when they come out to someone than they are to perpetrate it.
While it's very much besides the point right now, one of my face projections actually wasn't completely off the mark.
This was the one where I set the age slider on the program the lowest. Most of the time I left it around the 25-30 age range. I never would have guessed at this guy being 21...
Notice that police stopped pleading for assistance very early on, around mid-December, and allowed the images to lapse from their website without putting them back up. I think they knew who he was by then based off tips from the photos but obviously couldn't come out and tell people to stop...
Yeah, I thought it was pretty brutal. The exasperated tone he took about training his men to look for serial killers didn't come off well in light of the fact there actually was a serial killer.
FYI, here is Saunders' interview. My question was not taken and there was no mention of the Richey case as far as I noticed:

Chief Saunders is on CP24 tonight. You can send in questions by hashtagging AskTheChiefCP24 on twitter. Good opportunity to press them on Tess's case and maybe get the images displayed on tv again.
Yep, I've done the "check this person's social media over just in case" thing with a couple of folks now. One guy, I browsed through his pictures for about 20 minutes before realizing he was wearing that hat in all his pictures because he's completely bald on top.
As for video footage, I...
I failed to consider how much must still be going into the McArthur investigation, especially considering today's revelations about how wide-ranging the locations they have to search are. The one minor silver lining on that very dark cloud is that every time McArthur's in the news, Tess's case...
