Big time sad story. Quite the mystery, too.

How does this one end?

This guy, an investigator himself, has a few nice breakdown videos.

I had a lot of questions about the house layout. This video breaks the house down really well.

What I didn’t know before yesterday, if this report is true, there there was a pet dog killed and skinned weeks before about 3 miles away. Is it connected? I don’t think they know.

Horrible.
Have the FBI been brought in yet ? So much time between the call to the police makes me wonder if the crime scene was somehow damaged.

I think the killer moved through the neighborhood on foot, hiding from cameras. Perhaps he timed the killings for when most people are asleep. Maybe waited for lights to go out, then proceeded through an unlocked sliding glass door.

We have 2 sliding glass doors and I put the big wooden sticks in every night when I go to bed and we have a dog in the living room. Those sliding glass doors have always made me a bit concerned.

Most intruders enter through a rear basement window. Or so I was told by the cops investigating the burglary of my house in 2013.

My dad put in a lock at the top of the sliding glass door where you pushed it in to keep it from sliding. He drilled a hole in the metal at the top and attached a screw that you had to push in and out to lock and unlock the door.

A friend from high school back in the 70s stated he could open any sliding glass door that is locked. I told him he would not be able to open our door. He bet me he could and then I proceeded to lock the top and he saw me do that and went well hell - you are right - no way can you open the sliding glass door with that lock.

Lol, I think I should fix mine. Its hard enough to open when its not locked. Impossible to open when its locked. Or maybe put a board on the floor with nails sticking up every night and leave it open.

WD40 is your friend for sliding glass doors

most newer sliding glass doors (quality ones at least) have a slide lock that locks the top and bottom of the door

University housing especially older homes don't always have cameras like they do in many neighborhoods.
And students get sloppy about locking doors and windows and handing out keys to friends.
Open parties where not everyone is invited gives bad people an opportunity to see the inside of homes.
Maybe instruct your college age kids to be sharper about security. And not be so trusting.

When my son was in college and sharing a house with between 4 and 6 teammates, that was always a concern.
I told all of them, its not the friend that comes over that causes problems or steals. Its the friend of a friend that shows up with someone.
Be careful who you let in your house.
But, you all know how it went.
People in and out all the time, parties, girlfriends, ex girlfriends etc.
The more people living in a place the more dubious it can get.
That said, if someone really wants in it can be hard to stop them.
Getting a bunch of college kids to take this stuff seriously over time is hard to do.
Tragic story.
Certainly seems strange things were going on around that area before the murders.

Since the FBI doesn't have anyone to frame, they may actually have to investigate.
There is another strange case a few hours from where I live. I went to help search one day.
FBI got involved and crickets.
That happens. A shockingly high percentage of murders go unsolved.

The scariest thing is if that Elantra wasn't seen, he would've completely gotten away with it and likely would've had a hell of a lot more victims. He's the scariest kind of serial killer: someone who is organized, meticulous, quiet, and rage-filled (he was a bully in his senior year in high school after apparently being bullied).

We could've been looking at a new Zodiac killer if he hadn't been caught.
