Xana's bedroom was right off the kitchen. So if the door was opened & Ethan struggled with the killer, they could have seen into the bedroom & saw the horror everywhere probably pretty easy. & I'm sure blood wasn't contained just to the bedrooms.
True. I had speculated before that the scenes of the bodies being found in bed might have been staged by the killer. Seems a waste of valuable time but who knows?Aries said:

Not a good look if it ever goes to trial for the police to actively lie publicly.Lonestar_Ag09 said:
I don't recall the exact verbiage but there has been some waffling on how the victims were described. Where they were located, whether they were in bed or not, who's room they were in etc.
Could it be, possible that is something they're intentionally lying about. And therefore if the 911 call explains that it isn't true. Maybe Ethan was in a hallway or kitchen as described they're withholding that info as privileged and just saying they were all killed in bed presumably asleep? For instance their official report uses the term presumably asleep but that contradicts that some had defensive wounds meaning they weren't asleep.

My point is on here and other places I'm reading people keep using the term lying by the police and I did it as well, I don't believe telling half truths or withholding information is lying. Especially in an investigation like this.gotsand said:Lonestar_Ag09 said:

Unless dealt an incapacitating, fatal wound, it's reasonable to assume one would rapidly awaken upon being stabbed. Equally reasonable to assume some might instinctively fight until they've bled out.

The two surviving roommates had been out that night but were not together. Police have said both were home by about 1 a.m. on Sunday and would have been in the house at the time of the attack. They were unharmed and did not wake up until late Sunday morning, according to police.
Both had bedrooms on the first floor. The victims were found on the second and third floors two on each floor. Police would not specify which victims were where.
Police revealed that the 911 call was made from inside the house on one of the surviving roommates' cellphones. The surviving roommates summoned friends to the house because they believed one of the victims on the second floor had passed out and was not waking up. Multiple people there talked with the 911 dispatcher before officers arrived, the Moscow Police Department said.

Not to mention if you have proof recorded behind the scenes. "we know XYZ we are however going to report it this way to intentionally mislead the perp" I don't believe that would be held against a prosecution.
It wouldn't be to "mislead" the perp- it would be to verify that when they finally catch someone, they hear the real details of what happened.Lonestar_Ag09 said:My point is on here and other places I'm reading people keep using the term lying by the police and I did it as well, I don't believe telling half truths or withholding information is lying.

This is exactly what Solzhenitsyn and Jordan Peterson came to the understanding of; that every man has the capacity to do evil and its such a fine line in every persons heart. I can't find the quote but Peterson I believe also stated once you have crossed into evil its heart to get back to good.BG Knocc Out said:Quote:
I know one thing, I could never understand anyone having the capacity to do something like this.
This is personally what I find most troubling about these types of crimes. It is slightly comforting sometimes when you can chalk up a horrific act of violence to some schizophrenic having a psychotic episode. But when it's a high functioning, competent socio/psychopath like this, it is pretty damn scary.
Not sure if many of yall remember Thomas Johnson, a promising young freshman stud WR for A&M in 2012 (helped us beat Bama). People were were perplexed when they heard rumors of him just quitting football after his freshman year...then moreso to hear accounts from teammates about him believing he was the "voice of God" or that "God spoke to him" or something along those lines....fast fwd a couple of years and he winds up in the news for hacking up an unsuspecting jogger with a machete in East Dallas early one morning. Now doing life in prison.
Something like that is terrifying and barbaric enough, but someone like that was never going to get away with it in such a deranged condition. The fact that there is a guy out there somewhere operating freely and blending in with unsuspecting society at large, probably interacting up close and personal with at least a handful of people a day, who has such little capacity for empathy that he would violently kill 4 people in their sleep with a knife, is just something that really creeps me out. Someone very likely came face to face with him today or almost brushed elbows and has no idea.

Moye lives in a home behind the crime scene. She said she did not go to the home on the morning of Nov. 13, when police said officers arrived to find multiple people already inside.
When asked about the possibility that the killer might have passed through her yard, she responded, "It's definitely something that's crossed my mind and that's really terrifying."
She said she and many of her classmates typically walked to campus for class, and that she has often used a shortcut that passes through the parking lot behind the victims' home.
I've read and written into multiple emergency call narratives. The 911 operator does not know what is being called for. ***Possible Scenario*** The roommates starts the call as they panic and leave the house. Theoretically they're calling about what they just saw. One is unable to clearly speak and the other passes out.aggiehawg said:So why the "passed out and not waking up," language?Lonestar_Ag09 said:Summoned....not called.

I just read where the targeted person was stabbed 42 times
Which one was the target? Where did you see that? Having that information should start to narrow down the suspect list.
My understanding of the floor plan was that there was no view of the bedroom from the kitchen. You had to go around through a laundry room to get to the bedroom that the couple was in. This was the part of the house that had originally been the kitchen and was converted to a bedroom after the renovations and additions. See the layout below.aggiehawg said:True.

But the cops generally withhold information, not spread false info. They are withholding the 911 call for some reason, though.
So not really a key component, but the girls were on one floor and the couple was on the other floor presumably? So much going on, but I thought it was established the guy didn't actually live there?

That is the current consensus. Kaylee and Maddie were on floor three. Xana's bedroom was on floor two and Ethan was just spending the night with her. He lived elsewhere, maybe the frat house?Quote:

That is an inaccurate layout from before the top floor was added. note the lack of the back staircase to go up. it is roughly where the table is located on your map
