Idaho killings
- Thread starter simply1
- Start date
According to the affidavit, he was pulled over in August and it was noted that the PA registration was set to expire on November 30. Registering it in Washington when he did might just be a coincidence.
Reading the affidavit is crazy. They knew so much more than what was public. Surviving roommate(s) allegedly came face to face with the suspected killer as he passed her bedroom door (which she had opened upon hearing what sounded like crying) before he left the house.
If you’re the roommate, how do you not call the cops after that? Even if you’re hammered/high that seems way too creepy to not do anything about
It also sounds like there was no DNA genealogical website connection. DNA from the scene was later matched to DNA collected at his parents house at the time of arrest. They caught him by linking him to his car which was observed in the area. Then using his cell phone location.
I hope they are holding back some details about the roommate, because that seems like the craziest part in all of this now. I get probably being under the influence, and sheer panic, but to hear crying and thuds and dogs barking and seeing an unknown guy in your house wearing a mask and to do nothing for 8 hours?
I'm not sure we'll ever know those details, unless that roommate does so publicly. I've never read an arrest warrant affidavit previously, but given the DNA, cell phone records, and video surveillance in the area, it certainly appears that law enforcement found the murderer/suspect.
Probably tremendous shock. Brain can literally dissociate in intense trauma. Rationally, we all believe we'd act differently in these types of situations - and some of us may, particularly if we have any type of training in that space. 19yr old late at night, possibly intoxicated? Not as much of a stretch.
dont throw away your trash then go commit murder
burn your trash first
or after

But she was scared enough to lock the door. So weird she didn’t call 911 right away.
I think I'd be more focused on defending myself than picking up my phone.
But as soon as you lock the door to your room, wouldn’t you call 911?
As @cowgirl836 stated earlier, its real easy to think you would when you are sober and not in the stress of that situation. Monday morning quarterbacking says of course...
Might not be so easy to think like that under those conditions of stress and questionable sobriety.
Not necessarily but he was stalking one or more of the victims. His phone pinged at the location of the residence 10+ times during a span of time- can't recall what it was off the top of my head
Read the full affadavit and yeah, they've got the right dude. They ID'd him as a suspect by Nov 29th via the car and connected all the dots from there. Seems like law enforcement did a heck of job and of course they got unfairly roasted for not releasing more info.
I've seen soooo many Forensic Files episodes where something left in the trash is the only lead to their suspect.
