Probably.Maybe he just wanted to kill people- thrill kill- see what it feels like

These are the same things I am worried about also. I'm interested in what you guys think.If BK maintains the KA-BAR knife was stolen, does this become a circumstantial case? Yes, his car has been caught in the area on several occasions, but he might find some way to explain that away. Perhaps he could say he left his phone in the car (hence the tracking) and the knife in the car, and someone kept "borrowing" the car. I am wondering if there is any other DNA evidence that would tie him to the crime scene ...
I hear you with regard to the lack of energy. Long day sometimes. The location of the 4:04 camera would tell us if the DD delivery (accepting the 4am purported delivery time) could have been seen by BK or not.
I personally don't think it would have mattered to him but it might have. If he knew the odds were someone was awake it could have upped the anti so-to-speak..increased the thrill perhaps.

Regarding the neighbor’s cam picking up the thud sound, I’m confused. My cams are motion activated. I don't believe they record sounds unless there’s associated movement.I don't know why I thought of this from your post but that "thud" that was heard by D, could it be X's door being kicked open with a kickbox move.
It wasn't a personal comment.Could you state those again? Do you mean the criminal mastermind theme vs the nincompoop theme?
Are you speaking of my own posts or your own posts or everyone's posts? I'm confused.
Which themes have you described?
Your last part seems to mean "Websleuths in general." Dominant narrative of the week. I don't feel as if most WSers have dipped into "dominant narrative of the week." Surely, some have. I don't feel that I have. I don't have "narratives of the week." Do you?
Welllll, it's my understanding that the car was registered in the name of one of BK's parents, so he didn't own a white car. Captain Analytical, they call me.Source???![]()
Very helpful thoughts, Emerald15. He absolutely lacked the necessary critical thinking skills.
He made so many blunders that I have periodically wondered if he unconsciously wanted to get caught.
But, I think it's more as you said, he simply lacked the necessary critical thinking skills to carefully plan for many basic things related to how he conducted thi
May have convinced his parents to sell the car in Pennsylvania, but then registering the car in Washington makes no sense. We are trying to make sense of lunacy and irrational behavior.This was discussed at length in other threads. Half the forum agreed with the above. The other half could see it. My takeaway: every family is different and while it may seem unusual to some, it seems perfectly ordinary to others. For that reason, I don't think it's relevant to the crime. JMO.
The only thing that gets me about the order is K's dad said "They didn't have to go up" in an interview. He was referring to whomever the killer was. So what made him assume that? Is that just something he threw out there or did he get an indication from LE that the target individual was not M or K? Still makes me think it could be any number of ways at this point
WSU offers tuition remission for PhD students, it sounds like (more here, which I posted earlier in the thread). Based on BK's TA job, it's likely (per the information on the website) that he would have qualified for tuition remission (i.e., tuition would have been paid for by the university / his department). Some students still must pay fees (1-3k), but tuition is covered, and health insurance is usually provided as long as students are employed by the university.
FWIW, despite stipends below the poverty wage at many, many PhD granting institutions, it is fairly standard for programs to pay tuition as long as students are supported through a TA, GA, or RA position. This was my experience during my PhD as well, even though I had to work additional jobs to pay all my bills.
You know, after pondering his comment, I've came to this as a parent:The only thing that gets me about the order is K's dad said "They didn't have to go up" in an interview.

Am I wrong? Do they record sound only?
So I live more southeast and know a ton of LDS kids who go out west for college (Utah and Idaho). And of those who take a car, it’s very common for the parents to fly out and drive with them. Also with the major airport being so far away, it’s hard to leave a car behind since you really can’t Uber there and it’s not great to leave a car at the airport for a month or so, so many opt to just drive home and have their cars while home. Just my experience on the matter. Definitely agree it’s not related to the crime, but just a dad being a dad to his youngest child.Well-said. I don't think it's relevant to the crime either, but I've been interested in the wide variety of reactions to this. Some parents will drop everything to have time with their adult child and would volunteer to fly out and help their adult child drive across the country. Other parents cannot begin to imagine doing this and to them it makes more sense for their adult child to fly home and/or drive themselves.
Some of this could be determined by whether parents are working full-time or retired, or whether the family spends a lot of time driving on road trips. But, either way is fine and I don't believe this is related to the crime. IMO
A bad neighbor who gave a reporter permission to “visit”?Drones?
I kind of wonder if his actions post-murders really can't be compared to his actions pre-murders, because in the planning stage, he might have thought he'd never get caught, but afterwards he knew he'd made mistakes. Big mistakes. Like leaving behind the sheath and getting caught on camera mistakes. It had to alter the way he behaved in the latter.

I think this is just a matter of perspective. This doesn’t seem odd to me, and I don’t think we have any idea how it came about. That said, my mom would have done that in a heartbeat for us, and we would have had a blast doing it. I would absolutely do it for my kid if they wanted. It’s different for everyone, but for me it (unlike pretty much everything else in this case) doesn’t raise any red flags.I'm having a real problem justifying the cost of flying across country to Washington State to help your son drive home 2600 miles away. Certainly, a couple nights of lodging would be much cheaper than someone flying across country to help someone drive non-stop home. Doesn't make sense to me any way I can try to make it make sense, know what I mean?
why did he even need a car?He wanted in-state tuition (a requirement of him keeping his job and tuition discount - which @R3d-, above, just pointed out - makes perfect sense.
He was required to pursue instate residency requirements (reregister and paying of car taxes is almost always required) in order to retain any tuition discounts he might have had. All grad students worry about such things, but an out of state student worries more.
I interpreted that line exactly the opposite. IMO, he was saying that M and K must have been the targets (or one of them anyway) because the guy didn't have to go upstairs if X and E were the targets. BK entered the home on either the 1st or 2nd floor, so what Kaylee's dad makes sense. Why go up to the 3rd floor if there are people to kill on both floors 1 and 2, unless your true target is up on floor 3.
MOO
It wasn't a personal comment.
It's inevitable that as new information drops that we all adjust our take, new themes develop.
dominant narrative is just a shorthand for that, it wasn't intended as a pejorative
yes, me personally, I have thought, at some points wtte ' Ah! I've got it' momentarily and then it slips out of my grasp as another dollop of new info is revealed.
last few days alone - the PCA, the tapatalks.
