Based on the proximity of their apartments and the fact that they were all nurses, I think they had to have known each other and probably fairly well. They were probably even friends I bet. I think also that if they weren't then she would have screamed if he grabbed her. If they were friends she might have had her guard down enough not to scream and he could have quickly overpowered her.

But I'm at a loss for a motive. Lust, yeah that's always possible, but that would imply a complete lack of self-control. He did well in nursing school so I would think that would imply some level of discipline. I think this turn out to be an "accident" somehow but I really can't think of a set of circumstances that would fit.
They did not work at the same hospital and no info was released if they knew each other.

They may have not known each other well at all. What's a neighbor? A person who politely holds a door for you or helps to carry groceries? All she could have seen would be two nurses, a couple, living a few doors from her and being nice. Personally I think he was acting on his sick dreams. Another thought, if Melissa's wedding site was up when she and her husband were in Hawaii (it is down and I didn't see all what was there), and there were photos, maybe BS looked through them and developed more sick fantasies? I don't know how to explain it, I don't have a feeling that there was anything except for neighbors between them. Just intuitively. Several pages ago, I posted that neither her husband nor the family were involved and I was right. I was torn between self-harm and a random attacker - I think that the relationship between BS and Melissa was close to "random" tbh.

In my opinion he was a problematic creepy stalker type who couldn’t take a no, (or a sociopath who wanted to kill) but nobody thought he’d do anything so extreme. My bet is that people will start coming out of the woodwork with instances that happened in the past. Which would really make it extra disapointing if he was not reported to the state nursing board if so. I could be very wrong, but I’ve not seen anything yet that makes me think he was a happy go lucky guy everyone loved. I could be wrong, just strikes me as the type. JMO
 
Or they are standing by a loved one in the lowest moment of his life.

While I would never condone a family member breaking the law, I would also show up for them and not abandon them. Being by his side doesn't necessarily mean they don't understand the situation or that they think he is innocent, but, rather, that they aren't going to walk away when he needs support.

Just my opinion.

Agree. All I see is that they love their child and maybe are the only people in the country who support him. Obliquely, it means that they were good parents who raised him with love and his act is in no way their fault. It is one thing to understand that your son is not what you raised him to be and another to still love him.

I don't think your wrong. The trial will open up a Pandora's box. JMO
 
They may have not known each other well at all. What's a neighbor? A person who politely holds a door for you or helps to carry groceries?
I can chime in on "what's a neighbor ?"from 1 person's experience. I lived in an apartment for 13 years. 5 units, no hallways as they were side by side. Think "motel" style.

Some were there longer than I. The neighbor next door (Apt C) and the one on the end that I passed multiple time to get to the garbage, laundry room, and my car. The other 2 units had a little bit of turnover (one was in Apt A, I was in B). I knew NONE of them. We just lived our lives and went about our day. It MIGHT have been that way for Melissa. Just tending to her own business and not getting involved.

But that's only 1 possibility. As others have brought up, since they were all in the same profession they may have figured that out and spoke more to each other than I did with my neighbors (next to none).

Hopefully more details will be coming out soon to figure out what connection there was, other than (practically) being next door neighbors. If they knew each other, was it a good relationship? Did they have issues with each other? Time will tell.
 
I think it's all digital stamps and video coverage from the building to where he hid her body that will seal the case. <modsnip: Removed opinion that appeared to be a material fact> MOO
That's what concerns me a little bit - is that I hope that isn't ALL they have, by the time it comes to trial, because time stamps aren't direct evidence.
 
I don't think so. We see it all the time and I've never noticed that it's related to the suspect's profession.

I agree. My interpretation is that someone who is in a profession that needs to move corpses (EMT, Police, Nurse, Doctor, etc) can't be charged with abuse of a corpse while at work unless others in the profession would consider what they did to be outside the line of duty. That would save someone upset about how a body was handled from charging frivolous lawsuits against a nurse or EMT or coroner.
All IMOO
I think we are saying the same thing: that the perp was not moving the body in the line of duty, and he's being charged with abusing a corpse for the same reasons any layperson who murdered someone would.
 
At 1:38, just before he's escorted out, he appears to say something to the ladies sitting behind him. At 1:46, is there a red mark across the back of his neck? Just observations... MOO
His Mom and sister along with someone else. Looks like the collar of a t-shirt? Or is it a bandage?
