Just wanted to post pictures of the apartment complexes where the majority of the rapes occured. The first pic is of University Crossing apartments where the first 3 rapes took place and the second is Chase apartments where 4 of the rapes including the 2015 one took place. I don't think the second floor balconies look very high at either complex. Both are very popular complexes where mostly students live.
For now I am pursuing a possible theory of the perp possibly had gotten a master key of at least one of the apartment complexes by working as a maintenance man or some other maintenance type work there at one time.
The thing is though is not all his accesses to all the other apartment complexes would have been just by one key. But he could surely access all the units of the same complex so thinking maybe he at one time worked for the University Crossing apartments in some capacity since multiple rapes occurred there. That would be the one place where this theory may have taken hold if he used a key like that.
Keeping with that possibility then is it possible maybe the same company managed a set of apartments at KU too and maybe had changed all the locks there and maybe his one key could open doors at some KU apartments too in addition to the KSU University Crossing one. This could only happen if a single company managed apartments at both KU and KSU area.
I am not sure of the likelihood that one company managed or owned apartments at both KU and KSU and also had the locks setup where a single master key would open the doors at both however i do think it is possible IMO.
I dont know if apartments even use those types of master keys anymore but I used to know someone who worked as a maintenance man and I was surprised to see how one master key could open all the units doors. It shocked me at the time because it didnt make sense how each persons key is slightly different and yet a single key opens all the doors.
The master key was really special and literally had the word "MASTER" engraved on it. It was treated like gold by the person I knew who worked at some apartments I knew. He told me if he lost it he was in big trouble and that key places will never duplicate them.
They may not even have those sorts of keys and locks anymore but back around the time of these incidents I suspect they still were in use. It is the only thing I can think of that would tie both KSU and KU together for this perp if he happened to have a key like that and knew he could just get inside anytime he wanted to units where his key would work.
Anyhow its about the only thing I can think of to maybe tie the KU and KSU incidents together maybe.
I like the bus route idea too. There has to be something that investigators can find to tie him to all these incidents.
I am also guessing he may have tried to become a student around the time of his first rape and maybe flunked out or was kicked out. Thus beginning his life of crime and staying near his campus and then even going to another campus. He may have resented college if he failed out himself and could be why he targeted those areas.
