I tend to think he wasn’t inside when they returned home. Or when the 2 surviving roomies returned.
Mainly because they weren’t harmed, and im not sure the closets even have doors. They didn’t appear to in Zillow. Perhaps someone added some. Idk. I have thought he could’ve been hanging out on that long balcony on the third floor, sitting in a dark spot until all noise subsided. All Moo
My view is that if this is a crime of "passion," then the emotional valence is revenge and hatred. Such feelings have to be carefully monitored inside the perp, or they will go ballistic and do something really obvious and be caught right away.
But, going inside the house and standing behind some closed door and listening to your enemies as they irritate the heck out of you with their late night revelry and their own happy friendships? That would get the killer revved up.
We don't know why this was done, but I can guarantee that the person was highly adrenalized and worked up - either merely because they were about to commit this terrible crime or because they thought they had a reason to kill and were avenging someone or some ideal.
