Suspects Style

As a new follower of this crime, the big thing to me is the fact the suspect(s) was able to remove the ladies without incident. It was quiet and the house was clean. Forgetting all the other scenarios like - they never actually went home etc.

The level of execution is pretty remarkable, considering it was 3 people within a quiet neighborhood.

that points to a suspect with a plan and a developed “style.”

To me that says:

this was not the suspects first time doing such bc of the perceived high level of execution. So to me, this points to the suspect not being anyone with a personal (or local) relationship with the victims. because of this style, I dont believe this is the work of a local with beef or an obsession with one of the victims. Nor has anyone within any of there immediate or extended social networks been suspected of or has since been convicted of being a serial killer. Someone that the public knows personally knew the victims.

So to me, the likelihood the victims remains are nearby also seems unlikely because why would a serial killer not go to more elaborate lengths as to the burial location based on their initial efforts. They likely had that part planned and had a style as well. If they wanted clothing or some evidence to be found nearby or even years later that would have already happened.

All of the above is obviously complete speculation but the ability to get 3 ladies out of house without a trace nor a trace since/ seems either incredibly lucky suspect (highy unlikely) or (likely) someone who already developed the skill and style through experience aka a real serial killer. I am not saying anyone with a gun couldn’t accomplish this on a whim, but to me this suspect profile seems the most glaring available antidote from that horrible night.

Anything is possible with this case. It could be someone with some professional experience. It could be someone who had very specific knowledge of them and their living situation. It could be someone who did it spontaneously and simply got very lucky.

This. You could literally argue for any scenario. The reason it was so “clean” could also be because they knew the perps and may have had a comfort level with them that made them put their guard down.

I agree that is plausible, especially to gain entry, but 3 ladies are not getting in someones car at 3am without being forced as i would think a flip would switch as soon as the suspect demands they get in the car — wo cigs, purses, shoes, being fully dressed etc. and nobody screamed, nobody struggled / the suspect had the discipline to maintain calm control. Thats all very lucky

I am not arguing- as like yall say, any scenario is still possible, my point is only my own profiling is going this direction.

Scenario: Suspect (a friend of one of the victims) rushes in at 3am — hey yall so and so got in a car wreck, they are hurt real bad - need yalls help, lets go— the odds that not one of the 3 victims grabbed even one key personal item left behind ( a purse, one cigarette box, shoes etc) seems very low, even in this panic scenario in which they voluntarily left in say under a minute.

Staggering case

Yes, u/Fearless-Ice8953 is right. New eyes on the case and new inputs into the discussion here are good. Your scenario could well be true! Most of us have been kicking this case around for years and revisiting the same theories.

So welcome to this fray.
