Well, in most cases the perpetrator does not come across as being smart enough to pull off such a crime by himself.Mainly because he does not come across as someone smart enough to pull such a daring act with any help (except if he was on drugs or had prior mental illness?).
Secondly, he handed over his phone with all ML's photos and text messages to LE and then went on to say he does not know who ML was? This is a very abnormal behaviour IMO. Then there is the evidence in his backyard, he had a good 2/3 days to get rid of those before the search trail heated up but he decided to leave it there but take her body to LC? Maybe he is just beyond dumb or a crucial part of the story is still missing. Remember the main point here is understanding how and when he killed her (the murder), there is nothing more important than this. I consider his person, history and other profiling to be a distraction.
I will surely be following this story to see what the official charges are, I would NOT be surprised if another suspect is unveiled.
But time and time again we see that this is indeed the case. Although they may take careful steps to plan the crime, more often than not they make careless mistakes and leave behind important evidence that points to them being the murderer.
It's as if they don't have the ability to predict the consequences of their actions, or are so arrogant they don't think they will get caught.
Their past history, actions, and personality are actually very important in terms of getting inside the mind of the killer and understanding why and how they are capable of committing such a crime.
We always are in disbelief and don't understand how they could be so ignorant yet it seems to be consistent in every case.
We could probably start a whole new thread debating over which criminal is the most stupid. Imo
