they would all need to sign the lease if they are living there. U can tell from their venmos they all shared bills.
Source for that? Because I have heard otherwise and it doesn't seem to be a legal requirement. The person who signed the lease took full financial responsibility, IMO and likely had the credit scores to do so. If I were the landlord, I'd prefer it that way, rather than having 6 itinerant students. Then, that person sublets the place. This is the way it's done in many places, and IMO, it's possible that it was done that way in this case.
What makes it a necessity for them to all sign the lease? I don't think Kaylee even decided to move in until after the lease was signed (and possible true for one of the other roommates - meanwhile, one of the OG roommates moved out). I sure hope that Kaylee wasn't responsible for a lease all the way up until the end of next June.
I would argue that the fact that the killer went specifically to the top floor suggests that, not the attention Kaylee and Maddie have received. There's 3 possibilities:
1. Kaylee or Maddie or both were the targets
2. Only the four victims were the target.
3. Everyone in the house was the target but the killer either didn't know of the roommates or something spooked him (this is the unlikeliest scenario imo)
In fact, I'm pretty sure Ethan was just a collateral since everything points to this as an organized attack and Ethan sleeping over would have been unexpected for the killer unless he had first hand knowledge of Ethan's movements.
All of the above, still, for me. Any could be true.
Today, I'm on the page of this was some kind of sociopath, even a one-time cyber-stalker who decided to drop by Moscow. Pretty far-fetched, I realize that, but worth some thought. Gets us away from the immediate Moscow population.
But all of your points could fit with that scenario. Stranger Sociopath could have targeted any or all of the occupants (or none - just a house with the lights on, on a cold night in Moscow, ID). I say this in part because some home invasion type incidents involve sudden decisions by unstable people who want to be inside a house, but this case is unusual, because apparently nothing was used or stolen. Of course, it's possible we just don't know that yet.
I think LE is working this as if it's not the type of person I describe (the Elantra thing; the expanding the investigation to interview some students over break; IMO).
But, said person could have been in Moscow for a length of time, blended in, even taken a job (all because drawn there by either university age women in general or some particular type of woman or even one specific woman).
I think I'm losing it. I did a search on the U of I site for Kaylee. The result is in the attached screenshot. I clicked on the deans list link and I swear her name is gone.
Feel free to point out the obvious to me.

You're not losing it. Kaylee was on the Dean's list for prior semesters. These lists are typically auto-generated by the Registrar's software once grades are in (I suppose Kaylee must have failed all her classes due to not taking finals - which is something the University's administration could have mitigated in some fashion, under these circumstances - perhaps giving her an honorary degree - and maybe they still will). The auto-generated list goes directly into its slot on the University's web management software, for nearly all colleges and universities.
So she was on it for two previous consecutive semesters, but fell off as of the end of Fall Semester, 2022.
It's usually semester by semester.
