I’m still trying to catch up a few pages but noticed a lot of DNA conversation and wanted to stop and post some thoughts on it and a few other things.
Following cases and just going off recent memory, never had I seen so much conflation?misunderstanding? Not sure which maybe a little bit of both, of the general public/case followers’ and misleading by Defense Attorney’s about DNA collected from crime scenes than I have since following the Morphew case in Colorado. And I gotta say oye e vey! this case comes very, very close.
Two very, very different cases yes, but both which have had DNA found in random areas not directly related to location in the home the murder likely happened in the Morphew case, and where we know for sure where the murders didn’t happen in this case, like the DNA found on the railing where the killer imo never entered- between 2nd and 1st floor.
In the Morphew case there was random DNA found in the murdered victim’s house, on her vehicle glovebox, and on her bike (all of which had absolutely nothing to do with the crime/murder of Suzanne). In that case, there are pages upon pages in the threads with posters posting DNA links and verified professionals posting and explaining types of DNA touch/transfer/partial profile/partial match/mixed profile DNA etc etc,and the quality of DNA found whether it is suitable/meets criteria for testing, how the testing works, over and over and some people still ignore the absolute mountain of quality circumstantial evidence against the the prime and only suspect- the husband (who imo surely murdered his wife and manufactured/facilitated an elaborate coverup) and instead drone on about sex offender DNA found on the glovebox and random DNA found around the house and on the bike must be the real killer(s). The fact that it was not a sex offender’s DNA and just a partial profile match to a sex offender and linked to 3 SA cases and which LE ran down and ruled out as being related to Suzanne’s murder, notwithstanding.
I think maybe because some people either want to believe the prime suspect/likely killer is innocent and/or haven’t followed many cases perhaps and not understanding all the variables and intricacies involved related to types of DNA found at crime scenes, how LE collects it and uses it as a lead/investigates to see if it leads anywhere- to a POI or suspect, which DNA qualifies or is enough for testing, how the testing works, and how LE rules it in or out depending on the context/weight of any other known facts and evidence they collect and analyze, how it relates to the crime itself and the crime scene and how all the evidence taken together in its totality leads them to narrow down and hone in on the likely/prime suspect.
It just seems no matter how many times it’s repeated and explained,
doesn’t matter people have their own ideas and a lot don’t trust law enforcement always doing their due diligence aka tunnel vision. IMO this is partly why we see conspiracies of all types put forth, LE is incompetent/corrupt, the suspect’s being setup/framed by someone else, the knife sheath might have been used by someone else after BK touched it in a store, someone else committed the murders and planted the sheath to frame BK etc, etc.
Has inept/incompetent LE and LE investigation happened in other cases before? yes. For recent example see Massachusetts Karen Read case. IMO, this is more the exception than the rule though.
Just like the Morphew case, this case ain’t just the keystone cops investigating. Far from it.
Having said that, with all the esteemed agencies involved in investigating this case, you’d have to believe all these LE task force investigators combined didn’t do their due diligence, are setting up/framing BK or they are so inept that they haven’t found the right person responsible. Why on earth would anyone want to frame BK for a quadruple homicide???? I really struggle to see any logical, reasonable explanation or motive as to why LE or anyone else would try to frame BK. Never mind not a scintilla of fact or evidence been presented that shows BK is being framed.
Some people want to wait until the case goes to trial to make up their minds which is fine and yes I know the suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Outside of that though, we are all free to opine on cases based on released info/facts of a case. I just feel like reason, logic, and common sense sometimes gets lost in translation, so to speak.
I can absolutely relate to not wanting to believe a husband married for decades to his wife kills her, or a stranger with no known ties to the victims enters victims’ residence and carries out an ambush blitz type massacre on sleeping college students. But alas as history tells us, sadly and unfortunately these things have and do happen.
I believe we all want the right person held accountable for these murders.
For me, BK’s DNA found on the knife sheath next to a murdered victim is huge important evidence because that’s where 2 of the girls’ were murdered- in MM’s room, in her bed. It’s one of the actual murder crime scenes and his single source 5 octillion to one match DNA is there at the murder scene on the knife sheath found next to a murdered victim.
Again that’s a huge piece of evidence placing him at the scene and there’s been people who’ve opined that that right there is enough for them to say BK did it, they have a right to their opinion. I’m just not sure it would be enough for a Jury.
But the DNA on the sheath isn’t the only thing implicating him in these heinous murders. LE/the state also has incriminating digital evidence their investigation bore out about his phone being off during the murder window what they believe is BK’s vehicle on surveillance in the area of the scene during the murder window, and he cannot provide a valid/verifiable alibi. I mean, his flimsy alibi of I was out driving around the area at the time in question. Well yeah we have what we believe to be your vehicle on surveillance driving the area, circling just prior to the massacre, and speeding away from the scene after, and oh by the way, your phone was off at the exact time of the murder window, and your DNA was found on a knife sheath that held the likely murder weapon and found next to a murdered victim. Are we to believe those are all just coincidences?
I for one, don’t.
As I’ve said I’ve followed cases for decades and have seen many high ranking esteemed LE and LE detectives from a myriad of agencies, and prosecutors/DA interviewed following adjudicated cases that have said there are no coincidences when it comes to murder. I agree with that sentiment.
As more info comes out in a case and the coincidences are stacking up (there were hundreds against the husband in the Morphew murder case), hard to believe it’s all just a coincidence and this guy BK is being framed. We still don’t know everything LE/the state has against the suspect BK, but just based on what we do know up to this point, is already too much for me to chalk up to oh it’s just coincidence/s and poor BK is the unluckiest man on the planet.
One last point, I’ve seen theorized maybe BK was in the area to purchase drugs that early morning. If that were the case, then why the he!! wouldn’t he just tell the cops that instead of sitting in jail for over 2 years with the DP hanging over his head and potential death by firing squad someday??? Hmmmm let’s see, sit in jail for a quadruple homicide I didn’t do/had nothing to do with for over 2 years and potentially facing death by firing squad some day, or admit I relapsed on drugs, was driving in the area that early morning to pick up my fix, and turn in my drug dealer. The latter seems like the best choice to me if I’m totally innocent of a quadruple homicide and facing DP.
So yeah, the driving in the area to pick up drugs theory is completely dead in the water for me.
IMO, BK either did it all himself or helped/assisted someone which is way, way way down my list of probabilities as I continue to believe BK’s a lone wolf. To me, he fits the profile of one to a proverbial T.
