    I’m anti death penalty. Just convict the bastard and then announce the Date, Time, and Gate of the penitentiary for his release. The fathers of these victims can rent a white work van to use to pick him up.

    I know this was humorous but I think that this would be a horrible thing for the fathers. They may kill the killer but that would stain them for life.

    A few thoughts that mean nothing:

    1. I certainly HOPE this is the creep that killed the college students. At the same time we have very very little evidence besides LE saying.. this is the guy. We all know of people wrongly accused and wrongly found guilty of crimes they never committed. Call me a conspiracy nut but I hope the pressure to find the creep didn’t make FBI and police rush to arrest someone who might kind of fit the narrative.
    I hope when the evidence comes out zzz it is airtight and he has no way out.

    2. I hate how everyone comes out of the woodwork to condemn every thing a suspect ever did. Not just this guy.. this often happens. He was a creep. He was weird. He once returned a VHS cassette without rewinding it… of course no one is going to come out and say.. the guy arrested for murdering 4 people was my neighbor and a cool dude. Not going to happen.

    3. Can we please stop looking at someone and making assumptions about guilt or mental issues just based off their eyes, their grin, their hair .. whatever? This happens all the time
    Happened on this board to Sandman… Posters could just look at him and know he was guilty. (Oops)

    If this guy is found guilty… I hope he gets the death penalty. Simply because people like that do not have any place in civilized society.

    They have his DNA at the scene of the crime. Seems pretty airtight to me.

    I really wonder where this stuff comes from. What back channel? No other indication of this.

    If he's guilty, and wants to try to claim he's innocent, he's going to have to claim he hooked up with one of them or something and they were all alive when he left ... definitely ways for him to try to create doubt if it goes to trial.

    I thought they got his DNA through a 3rd party? Like ancestry.com or 23 and me? I also thought early in the investigation they said there had been a big party at the house and that lots of dna was present?
    I hope they absolutely have the right guy. I just hate to see everyone jump to “he is a sicko mental case, just look at him, his high school drama teacher says he was awkward around girls” without much info or evidence to this point.
    Now with the fbi involved and having staked out his house for at least four days.. I think it’s very likely they have the right guy. Certainly hope so.

    I’m sure the confirmed his DNA after the arrest. Also, since they were following him for days as he drove across country, they probably recovered his DNA off objects he left behind. Throw out a used McDonalds cup… some FBI agent digs it out of the trash…

    There is speculation that his DNA from may have been obtained from under the fingernails of one of the victims who resisted when she was attacked.

    They have his DNA from the scene . If it’s in the form of a blood drop (he cut himself), there isn’t any coming back from that.

    Bullied as a big fat kid, turned into a big fit bullie, awkward and rejected by women before and after his weight loss, fascinated with criminal psychology and believes he is the smartest guy in the room.

    Reads like a psych profile of a serial killer.

    I would thing the Venn diagram of heroin users and mass murders has a pretty small intersection.

    There is no reasonable doubt that any of them would have had anything to do with him. The stalking confirmed by phone and video aling with DNA from blood is conclusive. His best bet is mental defect at this point

    Killing him is too much of an easy way out for the POS. Let him suffer a while. Kind of like dropping a rat into a cage with a Boa that was just fed. The rat know it’s coming, but just doesn’t know when

    I agree with your post.

    I have also heard that he did this on more than one occasion:

    Funny, new term for me. Googled it, wouldn't have guessed the definition given the name.

    you are obviously not following along very closely. cell phone location records, cctv video, automobile tracking, dna from the scene and the victims. there is a pile of physical evidence

    Mental defect? He’s an accomplished PhD. student. I guess this is how the court game will play out. Either way, he gone.
