This may be improbable, but an interesting experiment as well as COMPLETE speculation:
Bethany Funke or Dylan Mortenson were involved with BK romantically or otherwise.
The reason he had been there so frequently wasn't stalking, it was visits to hook up with this girl he met on a dating app.
Dylan and Bethany may have known this guy.
If BK is innocent, it would be easy to frame him knowing he is coming over for a visit.
Perhaps one of the girls said she felt unsafe in the house. He gives her his knife to protect her.
All of this will be much easier to speculate on AFTER proceedings begin and we have more information, but as of now there are some things off with the stories.
What are the things that are "off" with these stories so much that would lead anyone to believe at this point in time that's a realistic scenario? The fact the he didn't kill the girl that saw him and didn't call the cops for a while are both slightly odd but also easily explainable in a more than believable manner.
The HUGE time gap between when Dylan saw the creepy guy at 4am and didn't call 911 or her boyfriend or parents or anyone who could help her! She heard and saw things that most people would call 911 right away. Especially vulnerable women.
What I am about to post has not been verified and could easily be bull**** . HOWEVER…
There were a number of rumors on reddit very early on in this case that were shut down initially, but they have now turned out to be true. The assumption is that local cops and the roommates were talking to people until the Idaho State Police and FBI came in and put a stop to it. Among these very early rumors (which I personally read 3-4 days after the murders) are the following:
1. Kaylee and Maddie were sleeping in the same bed and murdered together (true). In fact there is a more graphic aspect to this rumor that is probably true but I won't post.
2. The sheath for the knife was left in the house (true).
3. One of the roommates saw an intruder wearing a black mask (true).
4. The two surviving roommates locked themselves in their room (true for Dylan at least).
5. The initial 911 call was for one of the surviving roommates who passed out upon realizing what had happened (mentioned by Kaylee's dad and appears likely true).
6. One of Ethan and Xana was found dead on the floor, rather than in bed (true, even though official reports lied about this and said all 4 victims were killed in their beds).
7. One of the surviving roommates actually lived on the second floor near Xana, not on the first floor (true, even though police would not discuss who lived where).
8. One or both of the surviving roommates were tripping on psychedelics and did not want to immediately call police.
There may have been a couple of other specific things posted that I can't remember. I know I also read that there was a dog in the house as part of that same groups of posts, although police allowed that to become public knowledge a few days later. These rumors were all posted in the same couple of early Reddit threads that were eventually deleted. I know rumor 8 sounds kind of ridiculous and accusatory, but that's what was out there early on before the FBI clamped down. It would explain a lot (pretty much everything) about Dylan's behavior.
