I had this same thought but was too lazy to do the measurements. I'm 5'2" and just can't envision how I would strike anywhere close to the face/head/neck area. I also think they were killed very quickly. Coming out of sleep to such a horrific experience, you wouldn't be critically thinking- you would be reacting,
Still..how would he explain any traces of any of the four victim’s blood being inside the car? Just like he could not send the car to Mars and that’s that. He still cannot excuse the car being in the area during the time of the murders. H
How about the area covered by the “turtle suit”? Would bruising still be visible? (especially the genital area). Will they check him for all of that? I’m thinking as a female here who has taken self defense classes, and taught to use my legs to kick. Especially if on my back.
maybe they were "too close" to an unmarked police car... that would probably get a driver a ticket, IMO
This makes me think of Silence of The Lambs
She's likely talking for $$$$$.
I think there have been burglary cases where drugging by some type of gas was suspected at least. JMO. I do find it interesting that BK did high school vocational training in heating and air conditioning (and I believe his father also works in HVAC).
Do you think he will be honest and forthcoming with his eventual legal team?
Recently on a commercial flight from Des Moines to DFW three marshals were escorting one prisoner with his cuffs chained to waist and with leg chains. It was on a "red-eye" flight with one of the three marshals in the row with the perp and a marshal in each row ahead and behind. Don't know what he was accused of or whatever but he looked really creepy with a bunch of tatoos on his face. Other than that, it was a very uneventful flight.
It does in several ways in Idaho. There can be a mental health competency hearing to determine if defendant is competent to stand trial in Idaho. Also there is no plea that is "not guilty by reason of insanity" but there absolutely is a finding jury can make of "guilty but insane" which provides for institutionalization instead of imprisonment
Well IF he did say that, it’s obvious the jailers would know he had no weapons.
I'm thinking he wore some kind of mask, as well as gloves and likely booties?
I could not figure out why they made a big deal about the HVAC professionals and equipment at the crime scene. BK and his dad are experienced. I also heard reference to BTK turning up the heat before he left scenes and maybe that also occurred in Idaho (Source for BTK: Rader gave details in letters).
I was pulled over in Missouri while taking my son-in-law from Iowa to Kansas City. They looked us over with great car (back then I drove sports cars) and went to the passenger side to look at him, too. I don't have a lot of traffic violations in 57 years of driving, but I've had enough to know that state police don't first approach the passenger, asking first for his ID. They cut us loose with a warning about muddy license plates. We pulled off at the next exit, and my plates were perfectly clean. They were looking for someone that day, and we triggered their interest. I cannot imagine that BK, his car and his father didn't attract some attention en route. IMO
ITA. As tantalizing as it would be, I think it is a stretch that BK has communicated with BTK. I'm throwing this info into the corner where I have thrown all the former LE, FBI, Profilers, Coroners, etc. etc , that have offered their two cents, without any inside knowledge of this case. IMO.
