JMO, he was probably employed. It's hasn't been reported yet but to afford an apartment, he was probably working.Thank you for answering my questions. I'm so very curious to know if he was/was not offered a job and also if/where he worked between November 2023 and now.
I feel like (and this is JMO) that he made very tentative trials towards an actual abduction. I feel like the girls/women he approached/tried to talk to instantly got a creepy vibe - strong enough that they knowingly (or even unknowingly) got away from him as fast as they could.This was his first rodeo JMO

I don’t in any way mean to imply that his “actual” victims were somehow less intuitive about his creep-factor than those that survived “physically uninjured”. Unfortunately, this monster continued to perfect his hunting. I hope he is found guilty and is NEVER able to leave prison grounds until he is dead and in a box!
I agree 100%. She was so clearly loved and valued by many in the community. I know they must all feel devastated that she is gone.They called the police though. And the police were convinced enough to act right away. This is unusual and stellar.
***IMO***
Thank you, @TravelingBug.I've listened to about 2 hours of the scanner traffic feed from 9/4 for this case on the Washington County Sheriff scanner archive (there is no Beaverton feed on Broadcastify) and I've put the related information in the scanner thread in the parking lot.
For those unfamiliar, there cannot be conversation about scanner traffic in this thread here.
Do we know if he had other victims or approached other women? I hadn't heard about others coming forward, but would like to read that info if you have it.I feel like (and this is JMO) that he made very tentative trials towards an actual abduction.

She does have a dog, but by all reports she locked her apartment at 6:23 AM, as usual, to head to the garage for work. Bryce lived 2 doors down from her, per a neighbor. Her cell phone turned off at 7 AM. It's certainly possible she took the dog out for a walk and he was waiting, but I've been in the area and the easy way to assault her would be get her in the apartment, not in a busy neighborhood literally filled with housing and people. Hopefully they'll let us know what transpired, but we'll probably have to wait.she has a dog??
I don’t know of any other victims or attempts. I was just trying to say that I think he may have had some leanings towards this and that if he did act on anything previously he may have done so in a more tentative way that creeped people out and never materialized into an actual assault.Do we know if he had other victims or approached other women?

In terms of rape charges, if there was a rape, when would we expect to see those charges added?
I think they would have already been added. I don't think there was any sexual assault.In terms of rape charges, if there was a rape, when would we expect to see those charges added?
I assumed that was the reason he kidnapped and murdered Melissa. But your comment has me second-guessing that. Given the PCA was sealed so quickly, we may be surprised at what's revealed Monday. Regardless, it's going to be very difficult for her family and those who loved Melissa.I think they would have already been added. I don't think there was any sexual assault.
Idem, thought it was a passion crime, but now I really wonder. Why, how and where…I assumed that was the reason he kidnapped and murdered Melissa. But your comment has me second-guessing that.

All MOO. Historically, any society past tribal had problem with men reaching puberty. And any modern country does. There is a disconnect between the genetic program of early tribal men whose lifespan was 20 years (so the goals were, to feed the tribe via hunt, to protect the tribe via war and to make sex with as many women in possible for gene diversity). So teenage behavior defying social norms that we see nowadays is the remainder of that old program. We are still a very young species on the land, we just evolved due to a couple of interesting mutations. Old societies had structured ways to send out the most active/troublesome young people out (think, crusaders, or sea travels, etc). Nowadays, life has changed more than people. What to do with them? There are few organized structures except for the army, and they help. I think channeling energy into athletics helps too. Definitely not sitting at the computer alone with one’s thoughts. Again, pure JMO.
