The arrest report: https://twitter.com/TB_Times/status/935875255045971968
My "theory" was just a shot/thought due to MelbourneSleuth's post (se below) and HD's parents lawyer Ralph Fernandez's mysterious statement in the media saying something to the effect that when more info comes out it will change the whole case completely (quote and video link below).
HD's parents lawyer Ralph Fernandez's mysterious statement:

"“There is a factor here that just completely changes the dynamics and at some time that will become public in the appropriate forum,” said Fernandez."
I just saw them lifting that black raincoat/hoody out of the car--the one in the first video before BM's murder. eerie......http://wfla.com/2017/11/29/inside-t...at-is-donaldsons-motivation-for-killing-four/
Here is a link that dotr posted right after the arrest. It is nothing but the search of the car and you can see the LE officers look around when they pull the long hoodie out of one of the luggage bags. You can almost read their minds. "Are you seeing this? This guy kept his murder outfit in his car!!!"

According to the arrest warrant they did not have bullet shell casings at the scene of the fourth murder nor did they have cell data. Could it be another perp working with him? I thought the guy in the RF looked shorter and different than the first--anyone else think that? Maybe it was the angle.
What does RF stand for? Sorry. Not enough caffeine yet.
As far as no shell casings or cell phone data from the 4th murder, I think he picked up the casings and didn't take his cell phone with him. It would seem he was actively learning how to get better at murder. Just my opinion.
Have they determined yet if he was getting ready to leave town? Sounds like he was going to take the evidence with him. He couldn't leave it at his parent's home.
How do they tie him to the fourth murder? By bullets in the victim probably.
I wonder what HD parents said to him when and if they saw him in jail. How can you tell your son you love him after you find out his is a serial killer? He needs to be told that he is a horrible person even by his parents. If not, he can be made to believe that anything he does is OK. Not that he will have an opportunity to do much more.....:jail:
I'd be crying my heart out. I would tell him I love him, but WTH were you thinking? My love for my son would not outweigh my feelings regarding his horrible murder spree. In my mind, there are no excuses. This young man knew right from wrong and he must accept the consequences of what he did, either death or life in prison w/o possibility of parole.
Seminole Heights murder suspect’s public defender talks about case
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – The public defender who represents accused Seminole Heights murderer Howell Donaldson III said it could take years to go through the tips, police reports and search warrants connected with the case.
Hillsborough County Public Defender Julianne M. Holt spoke to WFLA News Channel 8 in an exclusive interview about the case.
It is the first time that we’re hearing from someone who spoke directly with the suspected serial murderer, who is charged with four counts of first degree murder.

Possibly because there was a witness to the 4th shooting.imo.How do they tie him to the fourth murder? By bullets in the victim probably.
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) Tampa police say a witness was able to provide a description of a suspect who is believed to have shot a man from behind, killing him near a Seminole Heights church early Tuesday morning.
The crime scene is a few blocks away from a memorial that honors three people who were previously shot and killed in Seminole Heights.
Why do they have to go through the tips? What does that have to do with HD's case as no other person was identified.
News Channel 8’s Amanda Ciavarri asked if Donaldson has anything he wants the public to know. Ms. Holt said it would be inappropriate for her to answer that at this time.

This indicates that all 12 shell casings have been examined by lab and are from same gun. HED bought a 20 round with gun. Police found 12 casings and 5 loaded in the gun.
