IMO we're missing something about what his summer days were like after graduating with a diploma from that particular HS, which we have now learned is designated for Emotionally Disturbed students.
I do not believe he would just be sent off on his own to discover his own path with no program/s in place for him - either vocational training, paid or unpaid internship (low level in his case due to, most likely, his lack of social skills, inability to cope and visible imo emotional probs), a very structured work program, OR another program to continue to develop life skills or a program to develop employment skills.
He is labelled Emotionally Disturbed and as he approached puberty and beyond, may have learned to mask some of it or simply became more ED. IMO, it not unusual in a highly structured good program to see improvement within the classroom setting, but that does not mean it necessarily carries through outside the highly structured and supportive school setting, though, of course, that would be the goal. In one of the videos I viewed, a reporter stated that a neighbor (believe female, did not want to be identified, nor spoke or shown on camera) described CL to her as a monster who terrorized some on the block/in the neighborhood. Nothing more than that one sentence. No details.
He was supposed to be somewhere else during the day, IMO, at least part of it. Without the intensive structure, did he attend whatever program or class that was most likely in place?
What about therapy, counseling? I'm sure there was a transition into something post-graduation.
I also noticed his diploma is dated August 14, 2016 (12 days after the murder). I cannot find anything to confirm whether the HS has a summer program (it may), and not positive, but don't think it's yearlong school. Did he have to complete or retake a course or two (July - August) in order to receive his diploma?
Had he been placed in a "job" or an unpaid internship, there might have been even more females murdered. I'd like to know what program he was placed in after graduation, and whether he attended such a program from graduation to arrest.
Also, curious as to thoughts about the mid-August date on diploma since school term ends late June.
