Qmfr as discussion is continued in following post:
HLN special returns with Carter’s clip: “We know this about power for you. Only a coward would do such a thing. We are confident you ya e told someone what you have done, or at the very least they know because of how different you are since the murders. We try so hard to understand how a person can do something like this to two children. I believe you have just a little bit of a conscience left. We believe you are hiding in plain sight.” (showing sketch over and over)

Male host is saying how a lot of people online are comparing the murderer to the character of Kevin Costner Mr.Brooks where he leads the double life, serial killer on one side, successful family man on the other”, showing a clip.

Host asking CG “what kind of man that can do that, family man on one side, killer on the other”
Other host mentions Bundy.
CG: “You see it with almost all serial killers but we don’t know that our suspect here has done it before or will do it again.” (My opinion both are highly likely)
She says by the police saying “we are close to you is probably what’s keeping him from acting on fantasies. If there is a potential to do this again it’s only being contained y the scrutiny. That’s why they want people to call in, if someone they know changes their appearance radically, gains weight, loses weight, shaves their head, moves out of town, quits their job, any change is a reaction to this presser. Now, does it mean he will do it again because by calling someone a coward, that was very brazen, that usually provokes someone into proving they are not a coward and doing it again” (agreed, moo, risky jmo) “That means they are either really close or this person they are counting on the idea he is so contained by public scrutiny and by police presence that he’s not going to act until he trips up.”
(Hmmm, interesting)

Host saying how she has a hard time with this being a “crime of opportunity”..”she has a hard time saying that someone was at that bridge, sees the girls and says “oh hey how about a brutal public murder?” (This is exaaactly what I said again last night)
Everybody is nodding their heads yes on this.
MO is saying how “this could have been a target-rich environment and on a day when kids are off school the kids are going to be there, just like during Spring Break or summer time at a college campus. That’s when you see a lot of these attacks increase. And these two girls, he could’ve just been parked in that parking lot just waiting for someone to get dropped off who for his fantasy.”
JJ, responding to MO says “would that be an isolated issue though, would this be a person, Casey, from a profile perspective who is just there, waiting for girls to come so he can do what he does or is this a person that has a pension, an inclination, and a past history of doing something like this?”
CG response: “Okay the fantasy is a trajectory and it is always there, it is usually there from a very young age. So the fantasy is there, the killers I’ve interviewed have referred to it as “the dark side” and they never know when its going to burgeon up and take over. So, the fantasy moves along usually to stalking, abduction, kill, disposal but, how long has the fantasy been there then it goes laten again do this person had the potential to do it again, it’s always going to be there.”
Male Host: “Are there red flags in a community like that?”
JSM jumps in “to this point”: “Early on the police were asked is there any evidence that there was vagrancy going on, was there camping, homelessness, people in the woods adjacent to this area and they’ve come back and they haven’t really stayed that there wasn’t, but they haven’t confirmed that there was. To me, going to Maureen’s point earlier, she thinks that this guy had a kill kit wth him, he’s got this thing bulked up in his jacket, I think this guy came prepped, he came prepared, the one thing we know about these victims is that these are two little girls, why two little girls, why not two grown men, two little girls, he is in this particular area, one more point of order here, the idea here is that this person is local here I believe becaaaause that they had specific knowledge that school was going to be out that day.”
Host interjects to say “the bridge is hard to find. It took me 20 minutes and the silence down there is deafening!”
MO adds: “And he may have only wanted one victim, he may have been fantasizing about one victim, but the c but the only victims that came up that for his fantasy we’re two little girls instead.”
JSM:
“They were just looking for a victim..”
JJ: “I think you can answer the question as to “why two girls, someone you can overpower easily, someone who would be susceptible to...”
CG: “8th Grader”
JJ: “Yeah going to the narrative of a coward..”
MO: “And they have to fit his fantasy”
CG: “Right, but he also depends on their friendship to keep one from running away because he knows they won’t leave each other.”
Commercial break. When they return will address “The Shack” and hit the panel up with one more question.
