I know everyone wants to believe that, because that makes them feel better. And usually that is the more common type of attack. But your theories have to match the evidence. And if you read any of what the killer did, reported from the autopsy, you will see that he went through a very detailed process to mutilate her. Showing the ability and knowledge of working with internal bodily organs. This is not your typical type psychotic killing. A crazy person is not going to have the mental organization to engage in all that precise mutualization. Including removing her butterfly tattoo. They will act out in anger, such as repeated stabbing, but I think that's usually pretty much it. You don't see them turn into internal surgeons on the spot.
For example, the Brian Kohberger case, which is kind of a similar case in terms of mutilation. Was he just a crazy psychotic? No, he was an intelligent criminal justice PhD student. And that is the type of profile we have to look into here. So yes, we do actually have to look for a Hannibal lecter type, because that is what the evidence suggests.
As to suspecting this might be a drug deal, I don't understand why everybody is protesting this so much. Do we not have a rampant drug problem in this country? Why is that so out of the realm of possibility. Do any of you know her personally and know that she does not do drugs? Considering drugs are very common in the music scene where she hangs out in. Do you know that she doesn't want some pain relief for some back pain she has, or maybe some anxiety she's experiencing? I don't think you know that. Not even her significant others would know that for sure.
I've said before, she could have been exchanging some other goods with him. You know like, maybe he owed her money and she wanted it back before her trip. But I think if that were the case, she would have told her girlfriend right beforehand. Like, oh guess what, so and so is going to give me that money back he owes me, I'm about to go meet him soon. But no, not a word. So that implies something to me. And exactly, the fact that there is no digital fingerprint, suggests me that the drug dealer does not want to give out his phone number. Which would make sense, right?
So I'm sorry to say, we have to be realistic here and suspect that drug use could be a possibility. I'm sorry if people find that insulting to her, but instead of worrying about that so much, maybe think more about catching the killer and maybe preventing the next person who could be a victim.
