I think the State will offer a logical explanation and exhibit (the model of the house the Judge approved use of - yay!) of how BK committed the crimes at the time of trial. There are still many things we are not privy to yet.
I definitely think it is a blessing that Murphy was in Kaylee's room, and likely, NOT barking. Had he gone into MM's while BK was there, or had he started barking, I believe that he would have been butchered as well. I think the likelihood that he never did adds even more credence to the thought that BK spent very little time upstairs, killing MM and KG, and heading back downstairs. JMO
The 'murder groupies', they've been around since the beginning of time. Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, Menendez Brothers, Scott Peterson, Chris Watts...the list goes on and on. Gag.
Agree, I usually call them shark eyes, dark, cold and empty...
SG, maybe not talking specifically or exclusively about the "murder groupies", but maybe also all the people who refuse to believe the evidence that he, and only he, murdered the four, refers to them as 'Probergers'.
someone in a former thread thought of the fit bit and Apple Watch and went through the roommates available photos to see if any were wearing one but didnt see one on any wrists
Interesting thought, and it made me think/ask

Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger sent trove of prison love letters from fans
Latah County Jail insider told The Messenger that more than two dozen letters have arrived for suspect
2 years ago.
An unnamed employee at the Latah County Jail, told The Messenger that more than two dozen letters have been sent to the quadruple murder suspect.
“He gets these letters a couple times a week,” the insider told the outlet, noting that other staff at the facility have found the letters extremely odd. “They’re usually handwritten with hearts and stars. Coloured envelopes.”
In the aftermath of the murders and Mr Kohberger’s arrest six weeks later, true crime fans have also flocked to online forums to fill an information gap left by authorities. Earlier this year, a disturbing Reddit grew to more than 500 members before it was banned from the platform for violating Reddit’s Moderator Code of Conduct.
In addition to spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories, some of those online communities featured overtly sexual comments, as well as collages of Mr Kohberger’s photos.

Kaylee's room seems it would have been well lit with the 'good times' sign. Maddie's room doesn't particularly seem well lit, so it probably would have been dark.
Well, obviously Kaylee's parents would know best what kind of dog Murphy is outside of Jack and Kaylee, but the prosecution in their affidavit did indeed confirm the dog was heard to be barking at the time of the murders from a nearby camera next to the residence. It could also be another dog, but I would find that to be a pretty big coincidence. And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Dylan's testimony say that she thought Kaylee was playing with her dog, implying that it was probably barking amid the noise? She might have just assumed it is because Kaylee or Maddie wouldn't raise noise otherwise, but given the situation she probably came to the conclusion it had something to do with the dog because she also heard the dog in the process.I agree with a most of what you said, but I will interject that I had also assumed that Murphy was the dog barking on the neighbor's audio recording around 4:17, but poster @russoca pointed me to this post from @Allabouttrial, transcribing an interview where both Kaylee's mom and sister stated that Murphy was not a barker, that he had always been used to being in a house with several people, and that if he was afraid, he likely would have just hidden. That, of course, is not to say that he was not or did not bark, but if what they said is true, it seems to make it less likely. JMO
He had 3 opportunities to try DM's door. On the way up the first time, on the way down the second time and on the way out outside the house the third time. You're right, we can't know whether he tried it the first, but we can easily speculate he didn't try it based on the circumstantial evidence. First, because he didn't try it the other two times he passed through the door when Dylan was actually awake. Second, he didn't try it with Xana's door, he also didn't even go there even though technically it's a closer victim than going upstairs. It's unlikely he thought the second floor was unoccupied. I mean, given what we know, he's stalked the house a bunch of time already. He also didn't try going to the first given that if he did, he would have been face to face with Xana much earlier. The only logical conclusion would be that he comes in, goes directly to the third floor to Maddie's room which he has been observing, finds that someone else is there and the crime goes awry and he has to raise a lot of noise to subdue Kaylee who has woken up from him killing Maddie, goes down, stumbles on Xana somewhere around the kitchen or the living room who has also heard the ruckus on the third floor, decides he has to silence her in order to escape, and then he finds Ethan while she runs back to her room trying to escape. Quickly attacks and kills him on the bed given he is the largest threat and then proceeds to finish off Xana before leaving. The question here is whether he sees Dylan and leaves for whatever reason or doesn't notice her due to his tunnel vision and trying to escape as quickly as possible at this point.

I sorta think BK is able to compartmentalize the killings, irrational, murderous thoughts etc. & I think he can bring them forward for his pleasure or how smart he is, but he may also put him in the back of his mind for storage, if needed. It’s not that I don’t think he is evil, but it seems like he does that on occasion. If anything I could point out in the mugshot, his hair is looking pretty good.

“There are some people—mostly females, but also males—who are fascinated by corresponding or meeting with serial offenders. Here I am referring to individuals who correspond not to learn but to [develop a] relationship. Some women even fall in love with these men, believing them to be misunderstood. Such people, in my opinion, generally have low self-esteem. By interacting with serial killers, they fulfill their own need for attention.”
