I believe the roommate is a witness and hope he remains anonymous. Unless he's named a POI or a suspect by authorities - he cannot be sleuthed here.have they released info on who the roomate is?
I had a similar thought in that she may be his first murder victim. However if he was into kids and only kids then there may have been other victims who lived.He may have other "victims" in the sense that he may have been grooming children online or could have been participating in child *advertiser censored* photo trading? Also I recall someone posted previously something about CT stalking a former classmate? Anyone else recall that in a former thread or was that just rumor/speculation?
I totally agree concerning our laws. They need to change. We need federal law that doesn't limit the number of years for reporting sexual assaults. We need complete castration in my book for pedophiles! A child's life is impacted in almost every aspect. The damage is devastating. They may look ok on the surface but internally they aren't.What makes me crazy is that our laws don't inflict more punishment on known pedophiles.
To make the assumption that requiring them to register as sex offenders and live a certain distance from schools is any kind of barrier to their behavior is insane.
The amount of recidivism proves that imprisonment, rehabilitation, even chemical castration rarely "cure" one of them yet we often house them for a few years and send them back out to ruin the lives of new victims.
We know that convicted pedophiles troll for single mothers, then move in with them for easy access to more children.
It's a scary cycle that can make you crazy if you let it. There are lots of little Fayes out there.

You're right on the money concerning them stalking single mothers. I was one and married a very charming man who turned out to be a pedophile! He destroyed my son's life. Depression, PTSD and substance abuse are common among child sex abuse survivors. They are also at risk for suicide which is how my son ended his depression and endless nightmares of what had occurred. They get released only to cause more suffering for more children and their families. I guess it is going to take a really high profile case to get tougher laws. IMHO

We could just lobotomize them, right? Or amputate their legs and arms, that would surely keep them from repeating their offenses. Perhaps a scarlet letter. In our current political climate, I could be considered rather right leaning but I stop well short of cruel and unusual punishment as should every American.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. What needs to happen is increased access to mental health treatment and a reduction in the social stigma associated with being treated for mental health. Probably every single person should just be encouraged to participate in free mental health services. Celebrities and wealthy people do it but there's a stigma associated with it in the middle class. We have a lot of people who are being diagnosed with catch-all disorders and being given zombie drugs but sex offenders are rarely one of these people (other than recently that "wolf" grindr killer).
Sexual psychoses are doubly stigmatized but they are nearly always the root cause of these sort of "out of nowhere" heinous crimes. Our best hope of minimizing them is for people to have access to treatment and real hope of improvement and recovery even if it's only through cognitive behavior therapy.
If you want to be especially conservative about it, look at the people who likely saw the dangerous psychological red flags and did nothing. If we need a change in laws, I think that's where it belongs - in increased culpability for these people as accessories. I don't know if there are any in this case that could be proven or exactly how it would go about being proven but I bet they're there - and in many cases, they're very obvious.
I like to think it should be pretty obvious to everyone I was being facetious as an opening statement.

My concerns with chemical castration (if it was made legal and forced upon inmates) is how often the justice system and juries fail innocent people (Innocence Project.com). Another concern is some institutions will allow rapists off early if they choose to go the route of chemical castration.
I am so, so sorry for what you and your son went through!! What a never ending nightmare for you!! <3 <3I totally agree concerning our laws. They need to change.

I have found that sarcasm and like statements are often misunderstood on this forum. Learned that the hard way.I like to think it should be pretty obvious to everyone I was being facetious as an opening statement.
i asked if his info was released...didn't say a word about sleuthing himI believe the roommate is a witness and hope he remains anonymous. Unless he's named a POI or a suspect by authorities - he cannot be sleuthed here.
I'm glad sweet Faye can know a whole lot of people here on Websleuths came to love her and care about the family she left behind.
We're all made better when we get outside ourselves and love a little fairy, even from afar.
Before CT was named the sole perp, I was not surprised to see a couple of HS classmates sharing the typical story of CT as a non-violent, smart, good student they'd never suspect could be a child killer.
There's a definite pattern to these individuals who seem to bury their dark side while still minors under the roof of their parents--channeling all their energy in academia-- all the while stuffing down their fantasies of children.
As soon as they achieve some independence away from their parents (i.e., college, fulltime work, etc.) they're no longer stuffing down fantasies and becoming more comfortable exploring their dark side -- developing an appetite to move from fantasy to real, live victim. I think Faye was a crime of opportunity and not CT stalking, murdering the victim.
MOO
