Is he smart enough to stalk them but too stupid to take their phones with him, though?
Yes. Throw in the nature of the crime, as in this sicko's urges, and to me it all makes sense. Cool. Calculated. Methodical. Murderous.
I've posted about it in other threads, I think Libby was using the 'selfie cam' on her phone, to record BG, over her shoulder. BG may be savvy enough to have a smart phone where he could check on who has 'checked in' to a park, in this case the park where the crime happened. Or, he just knew girls would be in the park on a non-school day, and prepared for it.
The whole damn thing was planned, however we can hypothesize on how well he planned it, etc. His level of intelligence. My biggest bone to pick here is he had a tight time frame, we're talking under 30 minutes, maybe under 20, from "git down the hill", to death.
This isn't Britanee Drexel (sp?) being snatched from Ocean Boulevard 9 years ago, driven an hour south to McClellansville, and possibly raped and tortured for almost a week. This isn't vulnerable prostitutes/drug addicts, easily overcome by a serial killer.
Two healthy, outgoing juvenile girls were murdered in broad daylight, in a not-so-big public park, in a small town.
A post above is from a woman who took her daughter there to check it out, yesterday. She had a hard time finding the park/bridge, which is just outside Delphi.
perp knows the park. Has walked it, maybe even fished there. He knows the park like fhe back of his hand, and planned this crime well in advance.
I believe he did some dry runs. Had to get his timing down. Stalk, confront, march, cross two creeks, kill. MOO is that is what happened.
On a lighter note, let's not allow this to affect how us outdoors people enjoy the outdoors. Be vigilant here in Indiana and the Midwest, but don't let it affect our enjoyment of the oitdoors.
