GUILTY TX - Zoe Hastings, 18, abducted & murdered, Dallas, 11 Oct 2015

[longhorns22chick]

He appears to be African American. He refers to his "momie" as his "step mom" and "2nd mom" in earlier posts.


There isn't anything totally out there on his page, but he comes off as skeevy to me. Nothing that jumps out and says to me, "Wow, of course it was this guy!", but he just seems like a creep with some of his posts/comments. I know Facebook isn't the best place to judge someone's true intelligence, but I wouldn't be surprised if his defense attorney at least tries to keep him from Death Row due to his IQ. He may well be a genius, but he appears to fall far below average to me.

It's also really odd to me that he posted a video in September that supposedly shows animal abuse, and says "This not right." I don't understand how he can be bothered by that, then turn around a few weeks later and do what he did to Zoe.

Did you see he was posting pictures on Oct 17 it was like he didn't have a care in the world he just murdered a girl a few days ago.

Did y'all notice the 3 pictures of a blonde woman washing her car on his Facebook?? Because it was from a distance and one is really of her behind, you have to wonder if he knew her ...or he could have been dangerous to her if he'd chosen.

The woman isn't looking at camera in any pic, it feels voyeuristic.

I'm so glad he's caught ....but if there'd been at least one prior SA might there have been others?

If only they'd been able to convict .....

JMO but I get the feeling the police are keeping some details (like the source of the dna) quiet for the family's sake.

At the press conference the chief said "no known motive" and in the next sentence he says the guy is a dangerous sexual predator.

I was looking at those pictures too and thought the same thing. But then I read his comments that she had stuff on the back of her shirt and there is a stain there and maybe that was part of why he chose to take those pictures. But I fully agree that it is still creepy.
There is also another picture he posted of a guy jogging out on the street and he commented
"Yes every day I see this guy about 3:CLOCK. .AND HE always wearing the white and lime green shorts..this is the only day out the week he changed them.."
I know it doesn't seem like much, but when you consider it with some of his other posts, it seems voyeuristic as well. MHO

I know it's a totally different situation, but I've been thinking the same thing recently.
How you can be so upset about ONE thing, yet cause much more damage knowingly?

A family member backed into my brand new car a few months ago.
It was still operational, I don't even like the car... and we all have insurance.
You would have thought he ran over my dog or child, he was SO UPSET about it.

A month later it was revealed he had been having 2 separate affairs for a decade.
One of my first thoughts was about when he hit my car.
Clearly, ripping apart your entire family through an affair is a much bigger deal?

I think maybe it has to do with not thinking he would get caught?
Maybe this perp likes animals but not people? I'm not sure.
But I've seen this phenomenon more than once. It confuses me too.

I agree, he makes comments and jokes around in posts and replies as well after the date of the murder.

Also, I have looked through his posts and pictures and IMO I think there are red flags. Throughout his posts, it seems like he gets fixated on a woman pretty quickly and then seems to get pretty upset when she rejects him.
At one point he tells off everyone of his girlfriend's (not sure which girlfriend or if she also considered herself his girlfriend) friends and family for not wishing her a happy birthday. He tells them that he has been watching her timeline all day and no one has posted. He uses such disturbing language that some of his other friends and family tell him he needs to delete the post.
Other posts and replies he made make it seem like he had an especially difficult time accepting the break up of his relationship with the girlfriend whose daughter he allegedly abused sexually. He has quite a few very explicit comments on some of the ex girlfriend's pictures with her now husband.

That's strange he would be at the funeral. Did he know anybody from the family or the church?

Also I am wondering how he got to Walgreens because it seems he got some kind of job and was willing to pay for a ride to and from work.

That was on his FB.

I read most of his foolishness. He got quite sexual with one friend then said he was kidding.

I think a lot of his BS is from rap songs and he just relays the lyrics.

RE the blonde I think that was a spoof on some tape that gets passed around. I don't think it was anybody he knew. There were several little incidents on that tape.

Silly stuff.

I am sooooo happy he is behind bars and can't hurt anymore girls.

It's quite possible he wanted to rape her and didn't plan on killing her. Some males think rape isn't that big a deal, in fact it isn't all that unusual for some very low IQ rapists to actually "chat up" their victims and suggest that they could have dated if they met differently especially if the victim cooperated out of fear.

I could see Zoe fighting more than he expected which may have escalated things.

Perhaps he felt bad about the actual murder which is why he went to the funeral.

JMO.

There were probably a ton of people (strangers/conncerned citizens in general) at tthe funeral nobody even noticed him.

I'm glad he's behind bars and I saw on Fox 4 (on TV at halftime of Cowboy game) that his bond has been raised to $2.5 milion. I will look for link. MOO

Did a person recognize him from the funeral after he was arrested? Did LE attend her funeral, I wonder. He must have stood out at a LDS funeral. There are not many black people that join the LDS church in the USA. He is too old to blend in with the kids from her high school and the family did not know him.

Do you have a link to the report? TIA

I guess this is why the LE regularly attend the funeral of a murder victim. He's a
beyond evil, phycopath, deranged MONSTER.

His FB account made me think he definitely has arrested development... seemed like a lost teenager, with no interests or care for anything, a pointless that
projected his emptiness on to a beautiful soul.

I believe his FB also says he was at his step 'momies' funeral on the same day of Zoe's funeral. Ironic that they would be burying his victim the same day his 'momie' was buried.

ON his FB he posted the below with a picture of the funeral...several pics with the family that showed up.

Not my intent-last thing I would want-apologies!

I went through to Oct 24 on @dallasnews and found this tweet and link

Dallas Morning News ‏@dallasnews Oct 24
Dallas police have an update on the Zoe Hastings murder case. Live updates here: http://d-news.co/TNxSq

On Oct. 17, the same day more than a thousand people attended Hastings’ funeral, Cochran posted photos to Facebook that show him attending a funeral for someone he called his mother.

Thus, MS Gloria is sadly mistaken and has apologized.

 

[Cardinal47]

Remember back when newspapers and journalists used to get things right.

Whatever happened to accountability and getting things right!

I have read more wrong reports in the last six months than ever before!

 

[AliVada]

Oh I am so glad that was incorrect .....I am sorry to have posted it, keeping that rumor moving.

Ugh ...so glad that wasn't true.
