Pieces do fall into place if this is the guy. A drifter without steady employment wouldn't be noticed as missing from work on the day of the murder, no regular co-workers to recognize his image on the wanted posters or any possible scratches, etc. He's generic enough looking to pass in the drifting world as just another guy on the run from the courts. He's "local" to Indiana, but not really a local that people know.
So many of us worried that he wouldn't be caught until he struck again, but it never occurred to me it would be a grown man as the next victim (if the CO bicycle rider s a victim of DN, which we don't know yet). I kinda sorta am wondering if the bike rider came upon DN doing something on the trail like exposing himself, which is one of DN's past charges, and was shot because he was a witness? It just seems odd that a sex offender who possibly killed two teen girls would then kill a grown man out of the blue. Does he get off on killing on trails in general or killing girls specifically?
TOTAL SPECULATION as we await more details on this guy.
