I'm still not convinced that he ever did heroin, much less had an addiction to it. He would have had to find a reliable supplier and learn how to use it (smoke/shoot up, unless he only snorted). Addicts usually progress from cigarettes/vaping > alcohol and weed (middle school) > pills/coke/meth > heroin/fentanyl. Not saying it is impossible to progress to heroin so quickly, just far from the norm.
DNA is, under the law, considered inherently circumstantial.
ITA. She could be good for verifying the timeline. But even that is not needed. Imo.
I think for those who are potential jurors and triers of fact your statement applies. But really that does not apply to the general public. I have an strong opinion that Mohammed Atta drove a plane into the WTC, but he never had a trial.
Respectfully, I strongly disagree here. I'll admit that someone could have borrowed his car, but no one stole it and brought it back to him. Car thieves don't do that. They ditch them. And sometimes they burn them to destroy evidence. As for knowing who did it - if he knew, why ask for an attorney, be extradited and all of that mess if he could just say "My friend Fred borrowed my car. I think he did it." And none of that explains all his trips to that area late at night.
His coworker from 2013 said they used heroin together.
I think the DNA swab was done by the PA police upon arrest. I can’t find a link, though.These are the most recent NYT stories. None say a DNA swab was taken, just that there was DNA on the sheath that was closely matched to the murderer's father's DNA.

Was BK wearing gloves? Do you assume "no" because the PCA didn't say it? The PCA can only state what D witnessed and what she remembers. That's my only point here, and that isn't really up for debate.
I read LE pulled him over both times to get information from him such as phone numbers, destinations etc, so they could keep track of him and not lose him somewhere along his route. Hence warnings both times. It had to be a legitimate stop but even going one mile over the speed limit is speeding and who’s never done that before.
Where is this coming from?
I hear what you’re saying but this sounds political and wouldn’t be easy to address here, but the accused will receive excellent representation and a fair trial? Sounds good to me. JMO
Excellent point
Do we really think he didn’t cover his hair? I’m sure he tried to cover his tracks. Ski mask, medical gloves, etc.
I am definitely not convinced he went with the intention of killing 4 people. 2 maybe, but not 4. Maddie and Xana worked at the Mad Greek so somehow they could be BKs targets for whatever his reason was. It could have been something as small as they were laughing about something and he assumed they were laughing at him when in fact they were not. That could have set him off and he decided he'd take care of them. Time went on which only increased his negative feelings toward the pair. By the time the date of the killing rolled around he was probably pretty obsessed about the whole thing and there was no turning back for him.
I agee, and also so she could lock herself in. Sadly, it seems he caught her before she could do that.
Do you remember where he was working? ( I've missed that link)
