You are the one talking about the FBI possibly watching him on dark web before the murders. I'm saying his car stuck out like a sore thumb on video, that video led them to him, then basic year 2022 Investigation 101 "check where a suspect's cellphone was pinging" helped confirm. This is pretty basic stuff. Got noticed doing laps when almost no one is out, then rolled his white Elantra into WSU at 5am on a Sunday morning when almost every other college student within 4 states is asleep was huge.
I was inarticulate on that speculation. Reason I suggested that was because the initial FBI response included two from the BAU, that is, profilers. Was there someone on their radar in the area?
We know he was on Reddit asking for criminals to share their feelings and motivations for committing crimes in late May 2022. Because of response and analysis times, that project would not be directly related to his Master's awarded a few weeks later in June 2022.
It is also possible that the FBI was looking at BK as a potential employee for BAU? He was a student under Dr. Ramsland and they certainly are familiar with her through her work with the BTK killer.
