IMO hostility and control don't necessarily preclude sexual attraction as a motive for rape, especially in a case where the perpetrator is familiar with the victim.
I'll never believe the timing of this horrible crime was merely coincidental with Annie's imminent marriage. And although I'm...
While I'm glad he's finally pleading guilty, I wouldn't be surprised if he stubbornly held out until enough damning forensic evidence was finally processed and which, at long last, convinced him he didn't stand a chance of getting away with it.
Thank you for you response Chanler, and I agree that "things like that are all jumbled in his mind". Or may be -- it's impossible to know, at least at this point. I definitely think it's likely that nitpicking Annie's work or general officious behavior may have been attempts of...
Well, this new felony murder charge against RC has brought me full circle. I can't imagine what other felony besides rape, or attempted rape could apply in this case (but welcome any ideas from those who know more about felonies).
It makes sense to me that this was an impulsive crime...

I think the space was described as being about 2 feet wide? Since it's located behind a toilet, then I'd image it would be an opening higher than waist level on the average size man, but the opening would not extend to far above the top of the toilet stall, or all the way to the...
Somewhat like the scenario Chanler depicted, I just read of a 10-yr. old Indiana boy whose 17-yr. old brother confessed to his murder, saying he strangled his younger brother, then moved his body into the kitchen to strangle him for 20 minutes more to make sure he was dead.
Shlock's got me thinking about RC using something besides his hands to strangle Annie. While I can't imagine he'd feel he could afford the time and trouble it could take to unlace a boot, the affidavit mentions something about his missing employee ID tag lanyard. The fact that LE is even...
Harmony 2, I don't understand how aspirated blood could be found anywhere other than a victim's lungs, etc. Could you explain Dr. Lee's explanation a little more?
Also, I've been under the impression that Annie died in G13 -- how could she have breathed in her own blood in G22? Does this...
IMO aspirated blood evidence found in G-22 may indicate that something like a wet vac in the room was found to have blood in it. If it's a maintenance-type room there could be other types of lab cleaning devices that I'm not aware of that suction/aspirate fluids. For instance I've wondered if...
BTW I suspect the tweezers, scissors and screw driver mentioned were used in attempts by RC to remove his green pen from the chase. But why not just wash off any blood on them rather than putting them in a drain pipe??? I also thought it was interesting that LE's evidence gathering included...
Oh, and one more thing. Shlock mentioned Annie's shoes. The shoes found in Annie's office obviously aren't the shoes she wore to the Amistad bldg. Those are still missing. It's not uncommon for women to remove fashionable, higher-heeled shoes and don a more-comfortable pair to wear while...
I'm a bit confused about statements in the search warrant affidavits regarding elusive objects like Annie's notebook, the black and white jacket RC wore when entering the bldg. on the fateful day, etc. Mentioned among those items are PCs and laptops. Does this mean they can't find computers to...
It's interesting that plumbing problems were first noticed by a maintenance man on Sept. 11 but plumbers and police weren't dispatched until Sept. 20. That reinforces my feeling that the crime scene isn't necessarily always a beehive of activity. Those type of objects (screw drivers, plastic...
Page 6 of the affidavit states that RC told LE that key cards are required to enter rooms that house animals, including the ones to which he was assigned on the day of Annie's disappearance -- G13, G24 and G33. If work sheets for these rooms require signatures, it may be to confirm that certain...
A few thoughts:
I think the socks may belong to RC. The affidavit states that his DNA as well as Annie's was found on the one hidden above the ceiling tiles. My guess is RC may have removed his bloody boots and walked around the corridors in these socks (which had some blood stains on the...
I wonder if (or why) Annie -- or anyone -- would leave the Amistad building with 2 bags of mouse food since that's where the mice are housed?
I wonder why RC told LE he saw her leaving with the food? He could've just claimed to have seen her leave, so it seems there's something significant...
Some here may need to be more mindful of this.
Key card traffic at the crime scene has surely been analyzed and it's my suspicion that since there were no eye witnesses, it will be revealed that there weren't that many staff and students in the area at the time. However, I wish some of our...
Ditto Chanler!
An accused person who's framed would surely speak to LE and offer info to help refute evidence against him.
The elaborate conspiracy required to frame him in such a manner by stealing his clothes, boots and pen and putting Annie's blood all over them PLUS stealing and...
