That should read, “a car was eventually located in Oregon,” because it’s clear from LE that they cleared that vehicle and owner but are still looking for the white Elantra. What bad reporting!
I am noticing numerous mistakes in MSM...now I try to read multiple sources on the same story. I think they are writing these stories so quickly that fact checking gets lost. To us, one word can change the meaning of a whole line of thought...makes it difficult to work on a theory. MOO

It isn't in the article, that line was written by RAISNISBACK.
No, the article says THE car, not A car. Screenshot directly from article below.

All I know is that the closer LE gets to the truth…the closer they hold all of the details to the vest. They definitely HAVE something. They need time to develop it sufficiently so it has teeth. They’ll get there. My hats off to them. They have the worst task with this one. If they are determined to “hunt him down” (as I believe them to be), they will find him and arrest him. All good things in time. Jmoo
I totally agree. It seems like about 99% of the information we 'know' about this case was released by people who were willing to speak to the media. This info may or may not be true - we have no idea at this point. For example, so many people (not necessarily here) seem to assume that the various white cars reported in the media are the car LE is looking for, but LE has not confirmed any of them.

All MOO, but it’s creepy to me having all their photos there and how it has:
3rd floor - murdered
2nd floor - murdered
1st floor - survived
I know we all know by now the layout of the house and where the victims/survivors were, but seeing it on that photo really puts it in black and white that the first floor went untouched.

IMO something stopped the killer attacking the girls on the first floor. Personally, I lean towards injury or locked bedroom doors, or both. Again, just MOO but I think if one of the survivors happened to come home later that night and their bedroom was on the 2nd or 3rd floor they would be a victim too.
I keep thinking how terrifying thoughts like this must be for the survivors and that’s what makes me find this image in particular creepy.
I lean highly towards the killer not touching the girls on the first floor because he simply didn’t know they were there. If you look at picture of the house from the outside you’ll see how the first floor looks somewhat detached from the rest of the house and could be easily mistaken for a basement where you store things and or a place where you do the laundry.

In regards to the killer or killers being hurt. I doubt that would have stopped the killer and or killers. With all the adrenaline running through the killer and or killers I doubt they even felt any injuries if they were hurt at all.


I feel the killer or killers weren’t leaving that house come hell or high water knowingly leaving any living witnesses come hell or high water.

I too have wondered if he laid in wait, entering while the house was empty that night. I even think he might have unlocked a couple of windows and left before the surviving roommates got home at 1:00, proceeding to sit in the backyard and watch for when the lights went out. Whoever he is, wherever he is, there's a cold-blooded killer out there and if they don't catch him I fear we will see more of his handiwork. :(
I still think the killer was acquainted with at least one or more of the victims, possibly knew or knew of everyone who lived in that house, and had some familiarity with the house. I believe he laid in wait and watched the house that night. From what vantage point and for how long, Idk — obviously. MOO.

If he was watching and waiting from the outside, he would’ve known that exactly 6 people were home at or near 2:00 am. If the killer was fueled by rage at at least one target, his murderous impulse must have reached no-going-back threshold for him to risk entering a house with 6 people. MOO.

I can see hiding in wait inside if the killer had one female target and was delusional enough to think he could commit one isolated murder without confronting or disturbing 5 other people and quietly slip away into the night. Otoh, if he’s waiting inside the house, he has no idea how many people are going to roll in. From the outside, he at least would’ve known if 4-5 stragglers were in tow needing a place to crash. After all, it’s a large multi-level party house on a busy college weekend. Does he enter a house with 10 college students not knowing if 3 of them are stone cold sober? MOO.

That’s more or less my general theory, and even that is on a wide spectrum. I’d need a spreadsheet or flow chart to even begin to sort out the various gradations of possibilities and eventualities, particularly as to the killer’s motive, state of mind, and extent and nature of relationship to victim (real or imagined?) All MOO and too exhausting to fully contemplate.

Beyond that, there’s the psychopath serial killer passing through town or a more local random psychopath. What theories am I overlooking?

No matter what, there’s definitely a cold-blooded killer on the loose. Not just anybody commits a quadruple homicide by stabbing.

All of the above is MOO.

This photo in the article you linked really makes me think something stopped the killer from going downstairs to the first floor. I don’t know if he was injured, interrupted, the doors were locked because they came home earlier or they were never his intended victims, but to me this photo really drives home that the first floor was safe and the others never stood a chance. It’s a really eery photo to me.

MOO
Perhaps the killer was deterred by the sight and sound of a squad car, the LE presence across the field. And took off out the back before he reached the lowest level.

Iirc, it was just the one unmarked police car that responded to the Band Field drunk college students incident.

Strange, it isn't in mine.

I think the issue is the article makes out the car spotted near the murder scene was the same car found in Eugene. The car LE discounted.

It's possible that the calls were regarding the dog, but I can't help but wonder if those calls weren't related to the video where Kaylee asked Maddie what she told Adam. Maybe Kaylee was worried that whatever Maddie told Adam got back to her ex and she was trying clear something up. Might explain why both girls tried to call him. MOO
MOO I'm not sure we're allowed to discuss A, but I think the only info we have on him comes from SG and not LE. The only info we have on the calls/messages from K&M also comes from the G family. If A is more than just the bartender as SG said, and unless/until we hear from a non-family source as to the content of the calls/messages, I'm definitely adding your thoughts here to my theory. Both the messages and A could be just as the G family described them, but they could be more in line with your thoughts here.

Honestly things after a trauma are OFTEN remembered later.
I was robbed a few years ago in a foreign country. It was really upsetting and I felt violated and stupid for carrying an open tote purse. I went to the police station and reported the robbery, filled out the details and spoke at length to a police officer.
It was only WEEKS later after replaying the time around when my wallet was taken from my purse (I noticed it missing half an hour after I had it in my hand) that I clearly remembered the store clerk bumping into me. I am certain that this bump was when my wallet was stolen but it took a long time for my brain to remember the serious bump and have clarity on the theft.
I sincerely wish I had remembered the bump at the time I reported the crime to the police but I did not.
The clerk who bumped me saw my wallet full of cash when I made a purchase a few minutes before she bumped into me.
Weeks later it was clear in my head but not the day or even the week after.
I personally appreciate the neighbor coming forward with this information and think he is legit in what he remembered hearing - all imho

Hoping and praying that others - any potential witnesses - may remember some details surrounding this crime that could potentially help piece it together. Also hoping they don’t doubt for a minute that after the trauma is less fresh and raw that there may be details that the brain remembers and clarity where there wasn’t.

Btw my wallet was returned to me by mail via the American Embassy several weeks after it was stolen with my credit cards and drivers license intact sans the wad of cash I was carrying.
The scream the neighbor may have heard was also on the bodycam of one of the police officers who ticketed the boys for underage drinking. If you listen you can clearly hear a woman say "Stop it. Stop". The LE who's cam picked up the scream was standing fairly near the apartment building the neighbor lives in. The audio seemed to come from over his left shoulder behind him, which would have put it very close to the neighbor around the time the neighbor claimed to have heard it. It did not seem to interest the policeman wearing the bodycam as he did not even turn to look in that direction and may have dismissed it as a party going on in one of the apartments. The murder house was behind and to his left.

The woman can be heard at the 23:43 mark, right after one of the boys says he is 19.

The killer and or killers more than likely came in from 2nd floor balcony and he and or they being the killers assumed they were on the first floor of house when they are actually on the 2nd floor with the below area being the basement and or laundry room.

I don’t think the sight and sound of a squad car down the street deterred him. This is even assuming that your presumption about the le presence at the field happened at the same time as the murders.

I wonder, did the killer/s lock the door to those two rooms and that’s why the 2 survivors couldn’t enter the rooms? If each room had a key pad lock, did he change the code when he left, and somehow, he knew the previous code/s to enter in the first place? Were the codes the same for each room and something extremely simple like, 1234?
Or, did he lock the door with a conventional key after he exited the rooms? The key discarded? Did first responders need to break open the doors, used a locksmith?

Just more puzzle pieces I’m trying to figure out.
JMO
If I were a survivor and woke up to someone on the floor above me (i.e. see someone sprawled on the floor, no obvious blood etc.), I would have done exactly what these survivors did. I wouldn't touch a thing; I would get out and call friends and 911. If the person was just passed out, I'd rather have professionals discover them and help them. If the person were dead and by approaching I could see blood, I wouldn't want to be in the building where a criminal could still be hiding. I wouldn't want to contaminate a potential crime scene. I wouldn't touch their doorknobs, keypads or any surface a criminal might have touched.

NIce post!
I realized yesterday that there is a flaw in my thinking. I have been thinking that the killer could watch from the back of the house and see when the lights went out. This could help explain why the first floor roommates weren't involved, you can't clearly see the first floor from the back. The perp might not have even seen them enter or known that they were there.

The problem is... the window of the second floor bedroom believed to have been occupied by E&X wouldn't be visible from the back of the house. But from the front of the house, all six bedroom windows would be visible. But staking out the front of the house is much more problematic, the perp would be exposed to view by all the neighbors and any of their cameras. Standing out there would be highly suspicious. Hence the white Elantra?

I'm still processing the implications of this realization, I need to work it into my flow charts and spreadsheets. :P

I tried to imagine what I would have done (I went to college before everyone had cell phones so I have to imagine its modern times). First text. Then multiple txts. Then call. Then multiple calls. Then walk up to check each roomate, maybe call from outside their door. If I couldn't get an answer to their locked rooms, I would have called a friend or asked a neighbor to bring a ladder and look in the windows. Then I would have called 911. MOO

That was my thinking as well. I know that there was a white unmarked car that has been misidentified as possibly being the white Elantra. But when I posted that previously, someone that apparently watched more bodycam footage than I have replied and purported that there was additional marked car(s) on that dispatch. Maybe even with cherries on?

I never got around to circling back on that, I guess I need to do that.

I believe KG father when he was quoted as saying the coroner told him there was "hell of a battle" that occurred on the second floor. After killing his target on the 3rd floor, along with having to kill the other person he found sharing the bed, the murderer tried to creep down to the 2nd floor, and out the door, but encountered EC and/or XK, who had heard unusual stair creaks, and/or frightening noise from the victims. Also possible noisy trips on uneven flooring, mini steps, as another poster theorized yesterday. Another noisy battle ensued, hell of a battle.

By the time he finished with them, he had to get out ASAP. To my mind there is no mystery at all why he didn't harm the girls downstairs. From what we know, he didn't see them observe him, and he wasn't there for them anyway.

All my opinion and conjecture.

I think most posters are underestimating the noise that occurred, from the various reported changing stories from the coroner, (some via KG family) ranging from "likely all asleep", "all in their beds", "some in their beds", to *hell of a battle". I know that KG family is tragically wounded. However what he has disclosed about conversations with the coroner rings true. In the first few interviews KG father gave, he sounded confused, imo because he was trying to not disclose certain things, yet at the same time yes, trying to disclose them without hurting the investigation. But thru most of his interviews, especially the latest ones, he has been consistent about sourcing details to the coroner. (Imo appalling on the part of the coroner. If she did tell the family so many conflicting details, she should lose her position.)

It doesn't look or sound like joking, IMO. Also why take a surreptitious picture of the people behind you, one just waiting on his food order and the other someone tagging along with you? Odd how the tagging along guy doesn't, if he's the same guy friend with them in the street video when A was being discussed, just stand with them and chat while they're waiting on their food. Also odd why they ditched (that's my take on it from watching the Grub Truck video) this same friend and didn't say see ya, bye, we got a ride or offer him a ride.

I'm not one who thinks the above behaviors are no big deal. Considering these two young women wind up dead not long after, any interactions like these could be relevant and not just normal joking around. AJMO
Excellent posts. I haven’t ruled out much in these six weeks. Still taking it all in. I do lean toward “known-to-them” killer, with some trigger setting off the murders, but as I don’t discount a stranger killer, either.

The videos released are helpful to a small degree in ferreting out the life and relationships surrounding the victims but, boy, so little. So hard to interpret videos, especially sans sound.

Merry Christmas to all! I love how fast this thread is moving even with the holidays… just means so many of us care and want justice for these 4!!! I thought about all of their family members the last few days … so easy to get caught up in the gifts and ripping and running, sometimes we forget how lucky we are to be busy, tired and broke! Lol!

Anyways, just here to say I’m too far behind but a few things IMO I am set on:

Suspect is a friend or pretty well acquainted with victims
There is 1 suspect, possibly a get away driver but no more perps than that
E & X and there whereabouts after the frat party are not relevant
I feel like the suspect was on some kind of drug or very intoxicated and LUCKY!!! This is my take, my opinion, I don’t need ridiculed for my opinion! Keep up the hard work WSer’s!
I agree with what you say except I think the whereabouts of E&X during the night and who they were with is crucial to solving this.

I feel like the suspect was on some kind of drug or very intoxicated and LUCKY!!!
This!!!!
