This is like an episode of Criminal Minds. He obviously thought, let see if I'm smart enough to get away with it. He got tripped up by the #1 trait Narcissism.

his family is standing by him

Actually, there are rumors that his mother gave the police information about his white Elantra, and it seems that his father flew out to Idaho and drove BK home. And the family's statement says "We have fully cooperated with law enforcement agencies in an attempt to seek the truth ", so it seems they aren't going to way of Brian Laundrie's parents and trying to hide him.

The guy seems to be a sociopath at least, maybe they knew that he was potentially dangerous.

Is this based on your degree in psychology or are you just parroting stuff you heard on the news?

reply

Wow! 18 very detailed pages of what led to his arrest, just released in the Probable Cause Affidavit. For someone supposedly so highly intelligent, he was incredibly stupid, made so many mistakes. No telling what they're going to spring on him during the trial, if there's going to be one. He'll get buried in evidence. This case is definitely going to be an uphill battle for his public defender.

And how about how this whole time they were saying that the other roommates were asleep the whole time and now they're saying that one of them was awake opened her door saw a guy in black with a mask walk by and heard one of the roommates crying or some shit like that. They definitely kept a lot of stuff secret from the public I guess.

reply

They sure did! This is what they meant by "playing their cards close to the chest" and it definitely worked. They were onto this guy much earlier than what they had led the public to believe.

Compelling new evidence which also raises new questions. The witness "opened her door", for the third time, and saw the perpetrator passing through, eventually leaving through the rear, sliding glass door. How is that possible when she lived on the ground floor? She would have had to have been on the 2nd floor in order to see that. She knew something was seriously wrong, locked herself in her bedroom, yet didn't call 911 immediately. Why? Was she that frozen with fear? The bodies weren't discovered until about 7 hours later. And even then, why were friends called first, before the cops? And why did the initial 911 call refer to an "unconscious person" incident when it was immediately apparent to cops arriving that they were looking at stabbing victims? And why is that 911 call still so mysterious, unreleased, in spite of all this other detailed evidence having been? Questions.

reply

Maybe all the previous info were just red herrings just to throw the suspect off? And seeing as the house was party central with lots of people coming and going, she may have thought it was just another drunk college dude and since he was unfamiliar to her, she shut her door and locked it. She was apparently drunk too so she probably passed out asleep after that. I'm sure more details will come soon.

reply

Well, this is what the true crime community is all about... always more questions, analyzing, speculation, discussion.

reply

Do you think this guy might be innocent and the cops are doing a frame job?

reply

Maybe in the days before DNA I'd say that's a very big possibility. But now? It's a lot harder to do that now. I guess it depends on what kind of DNA was found in the apartment.

reply

Apparently his DNA was found on the button of the K-Bar knife sheath carelessly left behind at the crime scene. That raises the question of why it hadn't been attached to his belt, which it was meant to be, like a gun holster. At that time, it was seen as unknown DNA. While hiding out in a gated community in Pennsylvania, and unbeknownst to him that he was under surveillance by the FBI, he was observed to be constantly coming out of the house to obsessively clean the Elantra, both inside and out, wearing surgical gloves. On one occasion, he was observed depositing garbage bags in a neighbor's trash bin at 4AM. He obviously had DNA on his mind and thought he was getting ahead in that game. In spite of all that effort, they nailed him anyway, through his father's DNA. A highly intellectual, dumb criminal.🙄

reply

This guy made a ton of amateurish mistakes, he allowed his cell phone to track him while he was casing the murder house and driving to the actual murders, he left his fucking knife sheath behind, he left an eyewitness alive, and I betcha they find all kinds of evidence in the white Elantra now that it's impounded. This guy was studying criminology, but wasn't paying attention in "How To Get Away With Murder" class and all the other criminologists must be laughing at him!

He'll never feel remorse, but I hope he becomes a joke through the criminological community and a byword for incompetence in crime. I think he's a sociopath or psychopath with no capacity for remorse or empathy, and seems to have a superiority complex and massive ego. The worst thing people can do to him isn't to jail him, it's to laugh at him and call him "stupid".

reply

He did. He was what we used to refer to as, just being "book smart." Couple that with reports of having lived a sheltered life, with no real, practical knowledge of how the world actually works. Small wonder he grew up socially inept.

Check out worldwise dad's observation pertaining to his demeanor in court.
