Topic: So was it "Hoodie Guy" ?

Acting weird at the food truck. Blown off at the end by a finger-pointing Maddie.
Reportedly now in Africa with his MD mom and MD dad.

There is a 2-minute YouTube of him over a carcass with bloody hands hyolding a big knife and another big knife on the ground.

Not to be confused with Lexington's own Jack Showalter ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Showalter )

So obviously they have arrested a totally off-the-radar ( to most !! ) suspect now.

Another big sleuth theory earlier went that the real target was Ethan - hard feelings since high school ( and a fight at a frat party they attended the same night ). The theory went that 'roid-raged frat boys hated Ethan and that some coveted Xana. Also that MM had foul-mouthed some of them and KG was only innocently caught up in the horror by returning for a short while to visit and show off her newly acquired 2016 SUV.

But all moot now. It is widely reported that they have matching crime-scene DNA with the new suspect. And, of course the Hyundai Elantra car tracked to PA.

I never thought is was someone on campus or a traditional college student.  Almost unheard of to have first crime be a crime like that.

My guess is the guy had been to that house before and possibly multiple times because it had been a party house and he was supposedly into drugs.  Wouldn't be surprised if he was at that bar earlier that night and/or got blown off by someone that lives in that house. Ted Bundy type sociopath.

Will be interesting to see the details as they come out.

He is a criminal justice major and part of his research is in the mindset and psychology of criminals while committing crimes.  I think he wanted to see what it felt like and the result is 4 dead college kids.  I also agree this isn?t his first rodeo

The research thing doesn't seem that important to me. Anyone in that major might have similar research to that as part of their studies.

I see a lot of comments to the effect that the actual perp ( Remember innocent until proven guilty ) in Idaho "wasn't the first go-round".

I thought this YouTube, which starts slowly on the his theory, presents the theory that 3 more murders could be connected to the suspect, including the 2 in the general Portland area.

Would be interested to know the suspect's whereabouts during them. Credit card receipts, cell phone pings, etc.

It's fact that criminals and sociopaths learn from their past crimes and those of others to perfect their craft over time.  It is usually their arrogance or a small slip up that gets them caught. Wouldn't be surprised if he was involved in many other crimes but time will tell. As you said, everyone should be presumed innocent but forensics has come a long way and framing someone for murder is a lot harder than other crimes (like attempting to kidnap a governor or colluding with Russia)
