I still am trying to decide whether the girls were completely random victims of opportunity on that day or were somewhat targeted. I think the only way the latter could work would be if he knew them in a general way, saw them regularly and perhaps got obsessed with one of them, but they didn't know him that well. So I am picturing him having contact via school/sports/church. Enough that he could stalk them from afar, but not close enough contact that they would discuss him with specifics, if that makes sense. In the case with Jayme Closs, all it took was him seeing her get off the school bus.
I have another idea, and it involves a different person being the actual target of interest to the perp, but it's not something that I can go into detail here.
I don't think the suspect in the NB case looks anything like the BG sketch, his distinctive tattoos on his neck and his facial features seem all wrong (eyes, eyebrows, chin, jawline), but that's just my opinion. I don't think the crimes are at all similar in terms of method, means, motive, circumstances etc. NB's murder seems much more mired in the criminal world with illegal drugs being a heavy element. I keep going back to the April 22 presser and how Carter emphasized the expected shock of the perp's loved ones, the hiding in plain sight, the "could be in the room" angle. This was designed to wake people up to the fact that the perp is likely a presentable local with a good reputation and not the kind of person you'd automatically think was a violent criminal. JMO.
I'm also wondering if the comparison to how the perp may have been before the murders and afterwards is not because he may have changed noticeably in a negative way (as most would assume), but in a positive one. For example, instead of someone turning to depression, drugs, alcohol, becoming more paranoid or secretive and so on, what if that person suddenly became more devout, or more community minded, or seemed no longer weighted down by "inner demons" or deeply depressed or acting in ways which earlier had seemed rather troubling.
Does that ever happen? In terms of killers venting their rage/violent impulses, and then having a "honeymoon" period of model citizen behavior. Perhaps for years?
Still catching up but so agree with this post!
I think he knew them or one. I think he knew the trail/area. With JC, she was chosen by JP and it was not a crime of immediacy either, or random in that he picked her and waited, he did not see her getting on the bus and act at that moment. He had though, chosen his target, or had his fixation on her. It was not a case of take anyone by any means and it was not a chance encounter where he acted at that moment and in fact he aborted attempts. (Per him of course which I always tell myself that is what a perp said and to take it with a grain of salt, it could be a lie, even so it appears it was the case).
