#2 The criminal mind is not a degree earning university mind. Criminology is like trying to use an oscilloscope on a frozen lug nut.

Yes. This guy. Ted Bundy. Exceptions to the Ann Rule...

#4 Last night I watched the Clint Eastwood film on Richard Jewell and the ‘96 Olympic bombing. My starting assumption with this guy is that like Jewell he’s guilty of fitting a profile. Everything else is tbd.

#5 Well. Any effort put into the "investigation" will be rayciss because the vics were white. How does a guy going to school halfway across the country come into contact with these people so much younger than him? If there is any sort of ongoing criminal activity among them all, who needs it covered up?

Questions, questions, questions...

#10 A distant relative met a man on a first date at a bookstore. She looked at books on home design. He looked at books on serial killers. End of date.

#12 Oh, he's "vegan." Nothing to see here, you can all go home now... "

"Can you confirm it was an Ar17 knife?"

"I can't say anymore until the coroner's report comes out, but yes, it was a high clip knife..."

#13 Seems he went from a third to a forth or fifth tier school. Of course there are scholastic and financial reasons to do that. Or maybe he needed to be closer to people he was involved with.

#14 How bout it, GD? You covering for somebody?

#15 The Times of Israel adds:

DNA evidence played a key role in identifying Bryan Christopher Kohberger as a suspect in the killings, and officials were able to match his DNA to genetic material recovered during the investigation, a law enforcement official said. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss details of the ongoing investigation.

WSU and UI are partners in several academic programs, and students sometimes attend classes and seminars or work at the neighboring schools. That doesn’t appear to be the case with Kohberger: University of Idaho President Scott Green wrote in a memo to students and employees on Friday evening that the Idaho school had no record of him.

DNA evidence isn’t always as clear cut as prosecutors and the FBI like to claim. 48 Hour Rule, guys, no matter how long that might actually be — so far the evidence is all circumstantial.
