There's a new one fraize gave us this morning (I didn't like the new Websleuths 2025 style) until fraize gave us Orange is the New Blue option. You might want to try that if you don't want to change from Black-Orange (what we've been using for a long time now) since we're all going to have to move off of Black-Orange at some point.
Thank you
Why did he not kill her? I guess we will never know.
My leading theory is the dog started barking, and he was trying to get out of there as fast as possible. He apparently drove away at a high rate of speed, which supports this.
It may have also been that Ethan being there spooked him. He may not have expected to have to deal with a guy, and a BIG guy (I believe Ethan had a few inches in height on him), and just wanted to GTFO once he'd killed both him and Xana. For all he knew, there could have been guys behind every other door. And Kaylee and Maddie were in the same room. He had to deal with two at once both times. Physically, that's extra exertion.
I think he heard DM holler up to the third floor while he was on the third floor. Then as he descended the steps, he must have encountered XK, perhaps as she brought her DD to the kitchen. If she was listening to TikTok, she likely had earbuds in and didn't hear any disturbances, including DM's utterances... or IMO, she would have responded to DM herself.
Excellent point, I really like that as well. First, he never would have expected two occupants in each room. Secondly, that final confrontation may have been far more difficult than he imagined, as he was dealing with a male who could more than match his size. I mean, who the hell knows what could be waiting for him behind doors number 3 and 4.
I'm sure we will never know, but I do not think his original plan was to kill 4 people. I think his original plan was to kill one, which quickly became both of the girls upstairs, as they were in the same room. KG may have put up a bit of a fight. Then when he went back downstairs, XK was there and awake, and he probably was not expecting EC to be there, so he had to exert energy to kill him, and then we know that XK put up a fight as well. I think it is very possible that by then, he was physically and emotionally spent, coming down from the rush, and just wanted to get out of the house, and away, as quickly as possible. Even if he looked directly at DM, I am not sure he actually saw her, because I think at that point, he was solely focused on getting out. JMO
Any kind of genuine resistance strikes me as the kind of thing that would have the potential to freak out the perpetrator of this crime.
I tend to agree with you.
Well, he may have realized his best friend was a bit naked at some point & after all those trips may have figured he could retrieve that "jacket" his friend was missing. If not that, he may have wished to remotely observe the carnage, as many a killer will often do. Maybe the extra trip was dual purpose for all we know.
I really think he was looking to see the police response, which surprisingly hadn't happened at that point. I can't imagine him even considering taking the risk of retrieving that sheath, as that would be even riskier than just leaving it.
Probably will never be revealed why unless the killer speaks, similar to some of the RA crap we’ll never know. He was quite bold & that’s the only reason why I thought he might come back to get his long lost friend. That couldn’t have been lost to his thinking. He may have thought there were only females there….never know. Won’t matter in the end, I’m afraid.
Thank you for this. From the document "Her description of the intruder was notably similar during all three interviews: 1) white male; 2) slim/skinny/lean body type; 3) slightly taller than D.M. (5'10); 4) wearing all black; 5) wearing a mask that was covering his forehead and mouth; 6) a voice she didn't recognize saying he was "here to help," and; 7) the intruder walked out or towards the back sliding door without saying anything to her." (BBM)
Such a conciousness of guilt to go to the house the following morning before even the roommates knew what happened.
I wonder how near he dared to drive that morning and what thoughts passed through his brains. He had to be disappointed with the absence of a law enforcement/media spectacle.
