I sincerely doubt the alleyway was picked out in advance. According to this article, there are up to 5 security cameras all within 20 metres of where Tess was found.* And according to the police press conference, police literally have video of him leading Tess down the alleyway and exiting alone.* If this guy scouted out the location in advance he would have seen the cameras:

With respect to the sighting you were referring to, I think this might be the one:

"He watched us from across the street, then approached.* Opened a cab door to us, and asked if we wanted to go to El Convento Rico. He was alone. Weird vibe."
She says she reported this info to Crime Stoppers.*
You’re right the timing is weird though. Tess was murdered in the early morning of November 25th.* The body was found on the 29th and it was ruled on homicide on December 1st. Police released the suspects photo on Sunday December 10th.* This girl posted on December 11th claiming she saw him “last Saturday” which would be December 2nd? The only way this sighting makes sense is if she was confused with the timing and was actually referring to a week earlier (November 25th). How stupid would the suspect have to be to approach women outside the bar linked to the Tess Richey murder, a day after it was ruled a homicide (on December 2nd)?
IF this was an authentic sighting of the suspect on November 25th – a big IF - you have to ask is why El Convento Rico?* Youre at Church and Wellesley and you want to go to College West?* There are a lot of great bars closer to the area they were in. It could be that its the suspects favourite bar.* In which case the staff there could easily recognize him. More probable, that location was preferred because he lives in that area or at least was staying nearby that night.* El Convento Rico is likely a convenient pit-stop before "going back to his place". He might even live within walking distance of there.
IF it was an authentic sighting it also means the suspect was clearly desperate to pick up.* He was approaching multiple groups of people, ALONE and OUTSIDE Crews and Tango.* This guy must have heard Crews and Tango was a good place to pick-up or maybe he is specifically into Trans girls?* Crews is a drag bar and i believe Tess's friend is Transgender.
If he is trying to pick up girls outside bars by himself, then he most likely tries to pick-up online as well.* He most likely has or had a presence on Tinder, Grindr, Craigslist, Adult Friend Finder and whatever other apps or websites people use for one-night stands – maybe ones specifically for transgender people if that is what he is into?
He most definitely would get spooked when his photo appeared in the media.* I would imagine he would try to delete at least some of his online presence.* According to this article Facebook shares user’s information with the police 80% of the time even without a warrant.

I’m sure in murder investigations, with a warrant, its 100% of the time. The Police could probably get a list of users on pick-up sites/apps in the Toronto area that deleted their account profiles since the murder. And another list of males of a certain range that were targeting/filtering for transgender girls online. You could end up with a big list – but you could start mining it for males in a certain age range, paired with other information. Nothing is truly ever deleted so Im sure user profile photos could be recovered as well. They could also try to match up IP addresses connected to user profiles with street addresses near certain areas like El Convento Rico and Church and Wellesley.
The more I think about how sloppy this guy was the more toast I think he is.* He was caught on camera all but committing the act and his face pic is currently circulating in the media and online. God knows how many other cameras picked him up that night. With the technology available today, he is toast. If he has any intelligence at all he would lawyer up and turn himself in because the justice system will treat him more favourably that way.
Im not able to bold, but about half way down, you say you believe Tess’s friend is transgender. Where did that come from? I don’t recall reading that before?
