When I consider "why" the four victims but not the two spared roommates (and thank goodness their lives WERE spared), I come up with a few possibilities:I know we can’t speculate but the dynamic of K and her ex’s relationship would be interesting to know in more detail. Who broke it off initially, why, was there hesitation from one of them about getting back together? She seemed to be starting a new life so was anyone feeling left behind? Was she the one pushing to get back together?
Also, drunk calling an ex and having them passed out and not answer is one thing. But if you suspect the ex is not answering because they are blocking you or mad at you is another - so you try a phone that maybe isn’t blocked like a friends thinking they’ll answer for them. Something about that relationship that we don’t know and I can’t put my finger on it. Like one of them maybe wanted to get back together more than the other one but all of this is pure speculation and me thinking out loud.
So many questions about that part of the story - I do think it interesting that she had moved out but happened to be there that particular night so I feel she was the intended target and rage got the best of the perp and they killed whoever was in his way. I do think X and E were in the wrong place at the wrong time and happened to be where the perp had to enter and exit. Did they say who was killed first?
Here’s what I think happened - intended target was K, M was a victim because she was right there and maybe woke up and saw what was happening.
Wasn’t E the one not in bed? He got up to see what the commotion was and encountered the perp. X was awakened and tried to fend off the attacker hence her defense wounds.
What I can’t wrap my mind around is that there was no screaming? No noise? Any cameras nearby showing a vehicle driving away?
I do think there was one intended target and the others only HAD to be killed because they saw the perp but then the perp realizing he had taken this further than he intended and got out of there quickly to avoid being seen by the other two roommates.
I just feel it’s someone that knew K was there for that night.
If this was a stranger (or relative stranger) who had been peeping and watching the females in the home from the tree-hidden area at the back of the property (and on the edge of the parking lot to the nearby Queen Apartments), he may have been unaware of the bedrooms at the first level (because there are no windows to those bedrooms at the back side of the house). If he saw the front stairs while inside, he may have simply assumed the front stairs went to utility spaces entered from the door from the parking area.
If this was a person known to the females and was a vengeance or rage killing due to a broken relationship, then the fact that the three females who were murdered were also longtime friends who had grown up together around the CdA area might be relevant. Perhaps the friends of the primary target had encouraged her in the breakup, urging her to spread her wings untethered as she launched into her adult working life. Alternatively, maybe they didn't do that, but the perpetrator believed they had. Either way, the perpetrator may have considered the friends at fault for the primary target's rejection of him. In this scenario, EC was killed because he was spending the night and was in the way.
ETA: JMO, in speculating about possibilities. Also, IMO the perpetrator in the second scenario wouldn't necessarily be the rejected boyfriend himself. It could be a close friend who witnessed how troubled the rejected boyfriend was by the breakup. And that could be a close friend at college, or one back home.
