I posted all of this yesterday but my posts were spaced out so I wanted to put all 3 posts in one place to make it easier to follow along. I’d love to open up a discussion, if anyone wants to dive into the theory with me.
Post #1
I’m throwing out a theory that I haven’t seen discussed (report if not allowed).
Background for how this theory came to mind- a few years ago I had a maintenance worker who learned my shower schedule and would show up at the house I was renting at the time when I was alone and let himself in. Eventually a roommate set up a camera in the house and caught him stealing dirty underwear from our laundry baskets while I was in the shower. It was scary.
Knowing that BK has HVAC experience, could he have had a side gig as a maintenance guy? If we are floating a June move-in timeline he could have even started doing maintenance for these houses over the summer before his grad program and TA position started. It would explain multiple visits to the property (I’m thinking the one day time visit was an actual maintenance call and then subsequent late night visits were stalking) and could explain why there was an HVAC truck at the house after the murders. He could have set up surveillance in the ductwork during the initial maintenance call.
Just an idea.

Woah. Check this out…
<modsnip - no source link for screenshot>
Edit: screenshot was of the Zillow listing for 1122 King Road. This part caught my attention: “All maintenance is performed by qualified, licensed, and insured professionals. All major systems (roof, furnace, etc have been updated in recent years). A proactive maintenance program with annual dryer vent cleaning, bi-annual furnace servicing, and proactive quarterly maintenance inspections.” I think that the issue was that I posted the screenshot without the link to an approved source. I’m not sure if Zillow is an approved source. I’m new to WS so if there is a description somewhere of approved sources, please point me to it. If it’s allowed, here’s the Zillow link:
1122 King Rd, Moscow, ID 83843 | Zillow
This is a lot of maintenance worker activity, especially HVAC related, that would likely be done over the summer in anticipation of the start of the fall semester. Edit: I mean a LOT. Way more than I’d ever expect (or want) from a property management company.
Just woah. I’m pretty sold on this theory now.
I agree with the person who responded to my original comment saying that it would have been released. And I also agree with the person who responded to them suggesting that maybe LE just didn’t know or didn’t have enough evidence yet.
This could potentially be huge. (Or could be not relevant at all.)
What do y’all make of it?

“I think that LE would have checked out all of the maintenance people who were associated with the King Road house very early on, and if BK was employed through the property maintenance company, or other vendor the property maintenance company used for home inspections, then LE would have had him on their radar from day one, so to speak.”
My thoughts as well at first but I guess I should finish telling the story from my original post. The maintenance worker who was stealing my underwear was an illegal subcontractor without relevant experience or qualifications. The property management company refused to share his info with police (I needed his name to file a restraining order) until they obtained a search warrant because they were afraid of a lawsuit for sending this creep into my home. When police did get the search warrant, they had conveniently “lost” all of their employment records. Police could never prove that he worked for them or even get his name, and I was not able to file a restraining order.
The same could very well apply here.
