I've never posted before, just read along varying cases. My first thought in this case is that the crime may have been committed by someone from Kaylee and Maddie's home town. There may have been a person long known to them, perhaps a year or two older, who particularly admired Kaylee from a bit of afar. Said person didn't go off to university, but joined the military for a couple of years. That wasn't all he imagined, so he got out and went home, taking whatever job he could to get a place and live even if meagerly. People from the hometown not attending university go down to Moscow to party with their old friends on the weekends. He went, probably more than once. Maybe more than once he was at the house. Perhaps he made a move, however subtle, at Kaylee that went virtually unnoticed by her. He knew from scuttlebutt that she had broken up with her boyfriend, so there might have been a chance. He may be her "stalker".
While she was at home, he and Kaylee crossed paths. He found she was leaving for a new life--travel in Europe, a job in Texas and then would be completely out of his orbit. Infuriated at his lack of success in career, education and romance, he's going to make sure the object of his desire would never be had by another. The other 3 just crossed his path.
This is, of course, just MOO from my vivid imagination and unfortunate familiarity with the "If I can't have her, no one can" crime. I sure hope I haven't broken any rules here, but wanted to share these thoughts.
