I agree with that opinion. One would need a very affected mental state and/or Lots of nerve to return to the area with flowers the following day. Many, many people cared and still do.
True, but independence doesn’t preclude talking about one’s feelings. It was just a theory of mine based on the day the crime took place. It seems that with Bowie there that even a disturbed person would have chosen a different victim. But on the other hand, his/her mental state could have dismissed any concern about a dog being present.
And, for Emma.
True. I didn’t mention her because much gets shared in the way of empathy for her and I’ve heard no one speak of what first responders experienced.
I’ve wondered about that restroom and whether the killer might have been hiding there befor the attack. But everyone says the rr would have been locked. If it wasn’t, I suppose that theory is plausible. The evidence that works against it is that the autopsy reveals that many of her stab wounds had pieces of her t-*advertiser censored*, dirt and leaves were in the incised wounds. That suggests Katie was stabbed and mutilated on the ground.
The restrooms are only open certain hours, so they would have been closed at the time of the murder. I looked this up back then and I think the hours were even shorter back then. I seem to recall 10 pm.
If her killer dragged her to the place she was found cldnt debris be picked up/lodged in incised areas that way?
It would make sense that rr wld close in tandem to park hours.
That’s a good question. I wouldn’t think so, mostly because she would be dragged by the killer holding her under her arms and dragging her feet. That being the case, her shoes and socks would show signs of dragging. I suspect APD know where she was killed and mutilated by the amount of blood pooling around and under her. Police arrived probably within an hour of her murder.
A gay male discovered KJs body after Emma so there’s definitely gay male foot traffic even within minutes of KJs death.
You’re correct as far as know, tbgo, that this idea hasn’t been put out there before. I would hope Katie had Bowie on a leash, and my guess is, yes she did. Either way, it’s a possibility that however this person approached them, that Bowie did not get good vibes from him, and maybe growled, and Katie chose to move along and away from this guy. He could have moved into their space and close enough to the dog to cause Bowie’s distrust to become physical as a ruse to create a reason to hurt Bowie and Katie when she fought back. It does seem a stretch that he would call her fat because he wouldn’t know (unless he had heard her at work talk about) what things bothered her. Imo, it wouldn’t be anyone name-calling. Many of us have some extra pounds and all of us feel differently about it. I don’t believe she would have cared. But it’s an idea of how those letters may have been used physically. If true, he would have been a man who believes he knows women, but is obviously lacking in that area. Many confident women are quite ok with their appearance and would just ignore the comment and the guy as a rule. I believe it wasn’t that word at all. Maybe fa_, or dad, or someone’s initials-perhaps even his own. He, or still maybe she, had and probably continues to behave with much chutzpah, “knowing” he’ll never get caught (i.e. ALL the parts of this crime are so brazen), so “writing” his own initials wouldn’t be a surprise. Yet, this anger and behavior seems so full of rage for a dog to have disliked and maybe tried to bite him. But, people have all kinds of thoughts and emotions; it seems to me that it is actually a pretty straightforward way to plan and commit this murder.
Your idea, kemo, is a decent one, and imo, the writing probably was an important part of his plan. So it could answer why Katie had that carved into her. I agree with Quell that many gay men would very likely have been available; however, maybe the killer was waiting for the “right” type and grew agitated waiting. I can hardly say that he was scared to execute his plan because Bowie didn’t seem to be a drawback to the killer, and he carried out the attack and murder with exuberant violence. This could fit with tbgo’s theory.
I think you might be referring to “runes”. They are lines used in an old Germanic alphabet and they are thought to be magic, some to give power.

Well it is human nature to hide drug use, and even the people closest to them sometimes do not know about it. However, I guess it does not have to be drug use, it could be she wanted to buy something else. A piece of art or used music equipment. A little strange to meet at that time of night for that, but maybe the seller said, hey this is my only time, that's when I get off work.
