I was just listening to one of the parents speech at the vigil, referring to how close the two girls were, he said “they went to HS, college, lived together, and died together, in the same bedroom and bed.” To me, this was a bombshell. There were two bedrooms on the third floor and they each had their own. So why did they sleep together that night? (No mention they were gay and had boyfriends) so did something scare them OR did someone come home or meet them and they put him/her in the other girls room? Possibly the other couple bright someone with them and told them to sleep upstairs.
As I posted above, this reminds me so much of the Gainesville, FL college student murders of 1990 or so - 8 kids - 7 girls and one boy who was just the roommate of one of the girls - were killed by a psychotic drifter. Some were asleep in their apartments, and I think he followed one who was coming back alone at night after classes.
He got into the apartments through the patio sliding doors.
Or the psychotic who killed those 8 student nurses in their dorm apartment back in the 70s or 80s.
In all cases they used knives to kill, sometimes posing the bodies afterwards, and in the Florida the killer beheaded or disemboweled a couple of his victims.
One reasons I think they’re not releasing many details is that the killings may be pretty gruesome.
Also, it seems to me that they have no idea who did this and didn’t want to set off a panic among the students. The guy has probably left the area by now. Which means he’s on the loose.
I think they hope that they’ll get a break with his being arrested for something else, or possibly somebody recalling an earlier case with a similar MO and similar victims.
Terrible case, anyway, and yes, it is possible that one of the girls had noticed somebody watching them earlier and was nervous.
