Idaho killings


NewsNation: The daughter of the serial killer known as BTK, Dennis Rader, said she’s fearing that Kohberger may have been in contact with her father. If that turns out to be true, how does that change this investigation?

O’Toole:
It’s too early to say. But it would reinforce that this person had an interest in serial killers. If he did reach out to BTK, it’s very likely that he reached out to other infamous serial killers or serious, high-profile offenders.

Criminology psychology students and forensic science students — it is not unusual to want to go to a prison and talk to one of these people or communicate by letter, because they want to hear what they have to say, how they committed the crime, the planning that went into it.
 
He was infatuated with serial killers. He was doing research on how people went about doing crimes. He's basically Hannibal Lector. Needs to be hard evidence shown though. DNA, video footage, witnesses.
 
I read yesterday that that one of the FBI profilers stated that whoever did this, it was probably not their first kill. Serial killers rarely start out with a crime of this magnitude.
If these were the first/only murders he committed then he's not a serial killer though.

Hey I already said that several pages ago. I watched a lot of Criminal Minds. I'm basically a BAU agent.

You've got A LOT more faith in a jury/ "the system" then I would or do.

This might be a new topic given the recent Peacock documentary which has me a bit conflicted, but I think most were shocked that Casey Anthony was acquitted.

The post you quoted is right..... this will never be a slam dunk without DNA, a weapon, and/or a motive.
 
If anything, this makes me a little less suspicious of him or makes him seem like he made a mistake. When my son started grad school, he waited until he had a term under his belt to make sure he liked it before he got new plates. Then he changed them so whoever in his department who was paying his tuition internally had additional proof of his in state status for tuition.

This guy changed them before his first term was up. I suppose it was before they had zeroed in on his car, but it also puts his car in the Washington system, which given proximity they would surely search if they knew they were looking for specific make, model, and color. And if he was worried about the PA plates in the system, by changing plates they know he had PA plates. Doing that may have helped them zero in on him when they had enough tips on the car.
