I have been thinking a ton about the psychology involved in the PC (which I am siding with the people who think that every word was carefully chosen to speak directly to the killer). Particularly, what are everyone's thoughts on the mention of "The Shack," I understand it jives with the...

I think Austin-area's sprink break was last week (someone correct me if I'm wrong), unless this is an out-of-towner. It could make sense that if the perp was an out-of-towner, he/she'd only have had opportunity to get to Austin around weekends until this week (because he/she is on SB). All of...

Does anyone - local or otherwise - know/could shed some light on Antifa? I only ask because of some things I heard from I think Steven Crowder(?) who was on Joe Rogan podcast awhile ago, and he & another guy went undercover to an Antifa meeting and the way he talked about the group seemed...

I don't know about someone who used to work for Austin government but I could imagine perhaps a conservative Austin native who is against some of the liberalism of Austin government/the insane growth Austin is seeing/the pushing out of natives because of increases in costs of living/just the...

I haven't been following the thread too much because I've been following in local news (Austin resident of 7 years) -- is anyone else completely confused by the differences in locations of these? None of these neighborhoods are alike in my opinion. Also, it seems like most home owners around...

Just a thought, as I don't feel like it's been TOO long since I was a teenager, but I could definitely imagine there being an incredible amount of victim blaming as far as the student population goes. There is no way I, personally, would have understood the power of manipulation and grooming at...

That's what I was thinking -- and if they did find his DNA or anything in the vehicle, it could be proof that ET's friend knew of the relationship and failed to report anything (possibly leaving her with some criminal responsibility).

Great point!

Legal people -- any idea what kind of information could justify probable cause for searching the friend's sold vehicle? Would the friend ditching it (well, her parents selling it) soon after ET father's motion be up for consideration when trying to compile evidence equating to probable cause...

I've been trying to follow these threads but find it difficult to read fast enough to ever fully get caught up so forgive me if any of this is repeat but I've had some extremely disturbing thoughts about this situation, just coming from being a twenty-something woman slowly realizing the...

<mod snip> Anyone else have theories regarding the withholding of information (a.k.a. why there hasn't been any sort of trickle of info coming out)? I really am curious where everyone else's brains are going on this topic. Lastly, I believe there are over 20(?) FBI agents on this. IMO they...

I am trying so hard to unsee what you just pointed out -- I've only been following this thread intermittently due to life happening (so I'm sorry if this has already been discussed), but does anyone wanna pitch me their opinions as to whether or not there were others either covered up or cropped...
