I agree with you, in that statistically, young females murdered by unknown subs are murdered by single perps vs groups. There is a lot going against the idea of a conspiracy, mostly the fact that the more individuals you add to a crime scene, the more evidence they will leave behind. That's MO and also logic, add 3 more people there and you have 3x footprints, 3x chances of someone forgetting a person item, 3x chances of someone leaving DNA behind etc.
That's why I am struggling to understand why the DT is going with this theory. IMO there are other paths to SODDI that are so much easier to sell to a judge/jurors.
I am genuinely perplexed, I don't personally see more evidence of the Odinists being there than any of the POI that the LE investigated since 2017.
When I first came across this case 3-4 years after the girls were killed I thought:
a: One perpetrator.
b: Maybe targeted.
c: Sexual motivation.
When I came back to it recently:
a: One perpetrator.
b: Opportunity and targeted.
c: Not ritualistic (Odinist argument was new for me).
d: Sexual motivation.
e: Killer cared for Abby as she was redressed.
And with the crime scene having next to no DNA left behind and what seemed like it being staged or posed - someone that knew what they were doing or had researched it thoroughly enough so as to leave no clues.
The unspent bullet and Libby's cell phone, however, was an oversight on the offender's part.
With more coming out during this latest Hearing even though secondhand information:
a: Undoing could be right or just the perpetrator covering the girls up so that they wouldn't be so easily seen by anyone.
b: I felt it was made clear that Abby must have been subdued in some way (knocked out maybe) to have not had any defense wounds or blood anywhere except to the back of the hoodie she wore and around the penetrating trauma (sharp object injury) to her neck.
I also wonder if Libby acted out as to why she was so violently attacked out of the two or was Abby knocked out to be spared from seeing what the perpetrator had in mind for Libby.
If the Blood Splatter specialist, Patrick Cicero, is correct about Abby dying where she laid with the clothes she had on then she may not have been redressed at all as the Final Draft had written.
I still feel one person was capable of committing this crime and that it wasn't ritualistic, also, it may have been that the girls were in the wrong place at the right time to fit the bill of what the perpetrator was looking for that day or it could also have been that one or both girls were targetted.
Sexual motivation, for me, hasn't changed.
Of course, we don't know everything and there is information under wraps for sure and if this does go to court we will probably find out a heck of a lot more then.
There are probably other paths that could have been taken by the DT to establish
reasonable doubt rather than going with the Odinist theory.
