There has been heavy speculation that BK likely met MM at her place of work and became obsessed with her that way. Of course, anything is plausible as we don’t have all the facts. However, early on, cops said they weren’t sure if the target was the house or the people, and I think I’m beginning to understand that statement. It’s possible BK just started driving around the area of the university to scope out potential victims and came across the house. I fully believe he had a murderous plan brewing from before he left PA and started to put that plan in motion as soon as he was left to his own devices (not sure if any family members helped him move there). I stated before that he probably wanted to have distance but still proximity to commit his crimes, and Moscow would have been the area to do just that. Upon driving around, he discovers the house. In one of the very early threads, someone posted that the house looked like a jewel perched on a hill for the world to see. Then, during his many trips to Moscow before the murders he watched the house and it’s occupants and became obsessed. Maybe then started online sleuthing and finding out who the occupants were and maybe even going to their job.
I still think MM was the target after finding the house. He obviously watched the house, and MM’s room was easily identifiable by her cowboy boots and the letter M in the window. Based on my own analysis of the PCA with the times given, I believe he went to the third floor first and then encountered the occupants of the 2nd floor while making an exit resulting in him thinking he needed to kill them too. There was no murder scene in Kaylee’s room. He went directly to MM’s room. So, he either knew they both were in there or was targeting MM. Again, I have previously stated, I don’t suspect he knew KG was there because knowing that, he would know he would have to contend with a dog which would complicate his plan.
I mean.. what are the odds that he runs into MM (or any of the victims) decides to make her his victim, and then she also lives in a super accessible house full of girls? To me, seems more likely, he found the house, then the girl(s), solidifying his heinous plan.
