  1. Truly some weird, and evil people in this world. Horrible and very sad news…

  2. I can just imagine someone snapping and unsnapping a knife sheath nervously before doing an act of violence. You then get sweat, skin cells etc on the snap area of the sheath. That DNA data base thing. Wow. I can think of at least 2 commercial data bases that have my DNA. This is probably true of most people in this country. Now law enforcement can tap into those types of data bases.

  3. He probably knows he’s a psychopath, odd and is very depressed. Maybe he didn’t care if he got caught

  4. They are with honor. I know this isn't much but it's all I can send. https://youtu.be/cGufy1PAeTU

  5. Good work! I don't know anything. Its been a while since I could say I'm so proud of you all.

  6. now show us what else you can do!

  7. I picked a song for everyone who worked on this case. https://youtu.be/cGufy1PAeTU it's the master sword.

  8. Dumpster diving. It's beautiful. They say men don't cry but I'm crying right now. Good ole fashioned detective work.

  9. His dad should be charged with assecory

  10. The prosecution should pick a jury of steak,ribs,bacon and pork chop loving people,let them hand this vegan a death sentence

  11. DNA on a knife sheath is easily explained away by a good defense attorney…

  12. Raskolnikov's PhD dissertation will be rejected. #humanscum

  13. Great detective/FBI/ police work in catching this guy! I always find it interesting how it is done.

  14. So why did they say the cops weren't called until like noon that day I'm sure they were called immediately I don't get it

  15. Luckily he's white and we don't have the blacks saying he's innocent like they did with O. J., hang the worthless asswipe !

  16. THE MURDER WEAPON: The knife is very common, issued to most infantry men. You can see it's deadliness in a scene in the film Hold the Dark here– https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9IRDI8a1NQ
    Strange he left the sheath as it's generally attached to the belt.

  17. We only hear things from the news anchors and reporters, and they all talk about incident in a very reluctant manner. Everything sounds so fake. Just because the reporter says there's evidence doesn't necessarily mean there actually is. I feel like they popped this random guy out of nowhere and are about to frame him because they got stuck, couldn't solve the case and had to make something up before it went cold.

  18. He's innocent 👨🏻‍⚖🤷🏻‍♂️

  19. Does anyone really give a f about this msm news headline?

  20. Looks like fbi was already on to him and he was stopped by police because the fbi had asked police to do so.

  21. Go ask all the people that were arm chair lawyers and detectives? If I got accused for something like this and didn’t do it I would be suing everyone for defamation!

  22. The affidavit blew me away, that poor girl didn't know if it was a prank or if she should be scared, I feel so bad for her. She couldn't have saved them, he would have killed her if she walked in on him, she is so lucky to be alive
    Prayers for them and the families and everyone connected to this case, except the killer and anyone else that helped him after. No sympathy for evil

  23. So much for the Tarot card Lady!

  24. This why the Police don't start releasing evidence or a suspects name until after an arrest. Some people were demanding that the Police tell them more about the case. DNA research doesn't happen over night. You have to give Investigators time to Identify, and build a case before any Information can be released.
