so, we can say, well, we always knew but past few weeks has enhanced our knowledge that he was bone lazy, so is it not conceivable that the trophy place or the place of concealment is very close to his apartment? His interest in serial killers started early 2016...killing her and dismembering her, if that happened, would probably not have been sufficient- he wanted to surpass Bundy.. he was even better than Bundy in his own mind...
no job, no way to run a car if Michelle gone... had to be walking distance...he was building up his CV... might have felt he would need to provide proof for his new peer group of serial killer admirers?
BC was legally an adult. They can recommend, but really cannot require him to do anything.
If LE finds him in public, with behavior dangerous to self or others, LE can lock him up. Counselors cannot.
Upthread, someone mentioned BC also seeing a psychiatrist during this time & misusing a prescription? Did I miss that? Did BC mention this to the UofI counselors? If so, that practitioner should be on the stand as well....
I agree with you. We also discussed sometime ago whether U of I had policy in place with a duty o report, but I could not find it and then we talked about the fact that, as you say, he lied and said that was all behind him.
To think two weeks later he would go on overdrive.
It looks like the "disclosure" took place in December:
"Zortman said the couple had almost no social life outside of each other and spent each night together playing video games and watching movies. That changed one night in December 2016, when Christensen got drunk and made comments to his wife that scared her to the point where she began considering a divorce."

We talked a bit about this already, not much.Just a thought...
Could BC have siphoned the 1/2 a tank of gas to use to incinerate the body?
well, it wouldn't require anywhere near 1/2 a tank of gas to burn a small body, but it would require a very remote location or something like a cave to keep the billowing smoke from attracting attention and a call to the fire dept.Just a thought...

It takes a lot of time and a lot of heat and a lot of combustibles to burn a body!well, it wouldn't require anywhere near 1/2 a tank of gas to burn a small body, but it would require a very remote location or something like a cave to keep the billowing smoke from attracting attention and a call to the fire dept.
I think a lot rides on when exactly he disposed of her, whether it was Friday night, which I doubt because I have a feeling he left her in the bathroom overnight and he had a helluva clean-up to do, washing carpets etc which had to be dry prior to Michelle's return on Sunday at 5pm.Just my gut feeling...
I think BC disposed of the remains either at Lake in the Woods Park, Mahomet IL, or at the Johnson Ross building in Champaign, or he put them in some random dumpster. He appears too lazy and too cocky to have carried out any elaborate plan of disposal.
These may seem too obvious but (JMHO) I don't believe BC is as smart or clever as people, or he, thinks he is.
Just my gut feeling...

That might be an explanation for the cadaver dog signal under the vanity, suggesting seepage.
A dumpster might fit because he didn't dump the large bag, it could possibly have attracted notice on a dumpster. It's equally possible that he was so mean that he expected to re-use it for a similar project in the near future. also possible is that he saved some 'trophies' in it.
It's the most frustrating thing to work in the dark, being clueless to what if any searching the FBI did.
I dont think they did enough.
Enough to nail him, but not enough to find out from him or find out through searching the location of her remains.
No catharsis.
He was living in the area for quite some time, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that he knew of a few random manholes that were easily openable and of sufficient size to receive a body or body parts.
It's also possible that her alleged decapitation was carried out in an attempt to make her 'fit' into a specific space , pre-prepared. Be about 4'7" high or wide...
he may well have kept her head, he described her as having had 'supernatural' strength to fight back.
And even though he is an utter liar, it's possible there is some truth in this because it would suit the impression he was apparently trying to convey to TB that he easily and quickly murdered and sliced her, an expert, likeBundy, his 13th...?
I hope she did fight and I hope her spirit fights him forever and he gets to know it and feel it!
Johnson Ross is certainly most convenient.. possibly an old metal barrel , lying there for years in a disused section of the site... all kinds of possibilities but no access to even suss out a 'feel' for the place...
If it is a thing he did bury her in a public space, I imagine he would have taken many trips past this space in the days after the murder... no way to get hold of that information, either.
Just my gut feeling...

Remember, he didnt take their deal, so whatever he did, he didnt think they would be where he performed his method of disposal. If he put her in Johnson-Ross or in some public place, why wouldnt he have taken their deal, instead of amending it to require only "truthful information"?
could also mean he would have told them something like ' I threw her body in the sea', somewhere devoid of hope for retrieval, no way to prove or disprove.Remember, he didnt take their deal, so whatever he did, he didnt think they would be where he performed his method of disposal.
