Who hacks up animals with HATCHETS?!?!
Screwed up sociopaths. Alas, they are not entirely rare.
There are mentally ill kids (or adults) who do stuff like that, yet never become serial killers, or ritual killers, or killers at all. Why? I don't know. Criminal psych people don't know. But there are a lot more animal-torturers than there are murderers... just like there are a lot more troubled people unduly fascinated with fire than there are fatality-causing arsonists.
There is a spectrum in every kind of violent mental disorder, a
degree of effed-up-ness. Not all sick people who are violent towards animals plunge straight into being murderers of human beings too. Thank goodness.
I apologize, I OBVIOUSLY missed the part where LE stated there is evidence Katelyn was removed from her home against her will, hence the struggle as you are suggesting...Do you have a link?
LE has not stated there is any evidence of that, and I did
not say they did.
You were painting a picture of her being sacrificed by a ritual/occult killer. I asked why Katelyn would be chosen for such a thing, as opposed to someone who would be much easier prey than she would. I reiterated her particular circumstances that night (in bed and going to sleep in her room on the second floor of her townhome), as reported by the last known person to see her.
Do you have a reason to believe Katelyn was targeted specifically, and targeted by someone who knew her well enough to get her to leave with him, a person of whom everyone in her life was unaware?
I have considered Katelyn may have departed her home after JC left and on her own OR had a known visitor --- contrary to him thinking she was ready for bed when he left. (Boys can be so unaware IMHO.)
I have considered the same, and it is possible, but there is no evidence for that either.
So... I'm trying to understand here. What you're postulating is that Katelyn may have departed her home voluntarily in the company of some other person (turning off her phone first, and deceiving her fiance with whom she was about to move out of state). This other person was of an animal mutilating & satanic bent, who decided to use her for his own ritual purposes that night, then dump her across state lines -- coincidentally, just over a mile off the rural route her fiance takes to his parents' other property.
If you believe this is possible, then given the lack of evidence, why is it not just as likely that she departed her home and abandoned her regular life to join a carnie on the church-festival circuit as a funnel-cake seller? [It was her fiance who suggested in the 911 call that there were shady people people at the nearby festival.]
Please consider what is statistically probable in this situation. If it was
not her boyfriend who was involved, what do you make of the eyebrow-lifting if not jaw-dropping statements in his interviews or his 911 call? (Compare it to the truthful/deceptive analysis of 911 calls by criminal psych professionals. I can link to the article if you wish but I think it's easily located on Google.)
Transcripts of the 911 call and interviews are located here:

Her fiance did not call her workplace, where she should have been during the period when he was supposedly worrying about her so much that he ended up leaving work early to look for her. Yet, he panicked/freaked out [his words] when he saw her car in her parking lot, at a time of day when she would have been
home from work. Why did he supposedly feel panic instead of relief? It doesn't make sense.
Per his own account, he was burning personal items of hers in a bonfire the night she vanished. What are the chances he'd be doing that (first of all),
and that a satanic Mystery Man X would kill her that same night (second of all)?
I was hoping someone local would take a closer look.
I am local, and I have taken what I consider a pretty close look over the years, thank you.
I'm not sure what I could turn up that would link any of this together in any fact-based evidentiary way that even the FBI themselves missed -- but if you have any ideas or direction, I would be happy to try.
