LE found Xana lying on the floor in what was described as a massive pool of blood, and Ethan was dead in the bed. Makes me wonder if she actually was dead before he attacked Ethan. I always assumed she may have been injured and then Ethan was killed before he returned to Xana. And the carving of Ethans lower legs, apparently after already suffering a mortal slash to an artery. The absolute brutality of it all is literally sickening. JMO
Yes agree. A sign of the times we live in esp. considering BK’s generation has grown up in the digital age with advanced technology and posting online/keeping notes/mementos etc. in one’s phone/digital device/s being as common as riding bikes and building forts in the snow were to baby boomers and Gen X’ers and many generations before.
How early were these calls received on the East Coast? I figure he would’ve had to wait until at least 9-10 AM for the calls to not come at an absurdly early hour for his parents.
That was so well done. We were able to get a feel for just how this went down.
The word used to describe Ethan's lower legs wounds were that they were "carved". That must have had some significance, but what may it have been? Some people have speculated that BK may have intentionally left the sheath in Maddie's bed. I have never ascribed to that belief, but I wonder if the carving was meant to be some sort of signature that would be repeated in some future murders, something to tie his perhaps planned for string of crimes together. Or was it just extra viciousness brought on by perhaps rage and jealousy that this likely jock, was in a home spending the night with yet another girl that he knew that he would not have stood a chance with. Was Xana still clinging to life, and was BK performing for her, showing her that he could incapacitate her man with little effort? Maybe I am giving him too much credit, but I feel like that act meant something, as it was completely unnecessary. JMO
I won't be sold on this carving thing until we hear it at trial. It simply doesn't make sense to me that he did something like that, considering his plan had gone about as bad as it possibly could. He'd just engaged Xana, who put up quite a struggle, and then he takes the time to inflict wounds like that on Ethan's legs?
