A few questions:
- It would have been obvious to him that he was at least considered to be a suspect. As far as I am aware, only two houses were searched, one being his. His car was confiscated, items from his house were taken by police. Yes, other residents in the community were questioned and gave statements but as far as I am aware they didnt have their homes searched and items confiscated. Why didnt he run? One suggestion was that he is a teen and teens often think that they are invincible and are emotionally immature. But surely even a teen would realise that they had become the focus of the investigation after their house was searched and their car taken. He was an apprentice so perhaps he didnt have any money to flee. Perhaps he thought if he acted normal then he could get away with it. Maybe he doesnt recall what he had done in what may have been a blind act of pure rage. Even if it was the latter, surely he would know that he was involved somehow. He would have had at least some recollection of going to the house, of perhaps the anger, or desires he may have felt before going there. Of the actions he took after the event. Even if he did black out and doesnt recall what happened, surely he would have questioned why he had cuts on his arms and hands? His actions following the event just seem so bizarre to me. He even voluntarily gave a DNA sample. Its just altogether strange. But then, by all accounts the murders were brutal and sadistic, who knows how the mind works in individuals capable of such a crime?
- What ever happened to the white Toyota? Did they find the car and its occupants? Has it been determined to even be relevant to the case?
- If it was unrequited love why wait until a month after she started dating her new BF before cracking up? Did something happen at the party the night before? Maybe it became apparent that she was keen on her new BF, perhaps did some things that she didnt do with Jason, and after seeing some (from what others have implied I havent seen the messages myself) lovely, dovey messages on facebook he finally snapped? The BF being his best friend maybe he confided in him about his relationship with Chantelle, perhaps indicating it was, or had, become serious, and that was the final straw for Jason?
- If a sexual offense occurred, did he go over there to try persuade her to have sex with him and when she potentially refused went on to rape her? Her parents hearing a commotion, getting up to investigate and then all hell breaking lose? Or did he sexually assault her after the fact?
Why didn't he run?
Personally I think he didn't run because it would have solidified his guilt, he didn't have the resources, and he thought he would either get away with it, or it was only a matter of time before he was caught considering the DNA etc anyway...he may have realized running would be a hopeless endeavor.
White Toyota?
I don't understand the white Toyota either, especially since the police seemed to have him in the frame already..maybe they were just leaving all lines of inquiry open and they didn't mind giving him a sense of false security.
Why snap after 4 weeks and after the party?
A slow boil perhaps, maybe at the start of this new relationship he just thought he could handle it, or it would be short lived. Perhaps he convinced himself that she was only going out with D to make him jealous and she still really fancied him? Or maybe after seeing them together at the party he realized they were for real, and he had no chance with her. Perhaps it took 4 weeks for his anger to build up to this point and he just went over the edge after seeing them together.
How does the sexual offense fit into the crime?
Who knows where his head was at, I tend to think he went over there to take what he wanted by force and was willing to go all the way whatever that took, and whatever happened (hence the knife) the fact that he went even further than necessary makes me wonder if he just wanted to take the experience to the absolute extreme to see what he was capable of...he must have had these kind of fantasies for a long time, and he wanted to act out all his rage and take it to the hilt. Perhaps once he unleashed himself he just wasn't spent until they were all destroyed, the fact that he stayed at the scene afterwards and even posed her points to a severely deranged individual.
Unimaginable crime.....there must have been other disturbing incidents in his past that we are unaware of at this point IMO.
