Is it certain that the killer was not a woman?

[MplsSteve]

Don’t get me wrong. This is a particularly heinous crime. I hope they catch the person(s) who did this and give ‘em the needle or chair.

But is it just me or does Fox News have an exceedingly odd level of interest in this case? Every day since the murders happened, there’s a new article on their website.

The police are not saying one way or another.

Many assume a male, but it’s not written in stone................yet............

“Many assume a male, but it’s not written in stone”

Or any of the 36+ different “genders”!

You have a theory on that interest?

What's odd about it? What kind of level of interest should be enough?

A way to the local PD’s feet to the fire. I am sure they just wish it would go away. They may have no real clue who did it or worse still know who did it but don’t have indictable evidence. Read ‘The Girl on the Volkswagon floor’ for a case in Dayton Ohio where the cops know who the killer but can’t nail him , or the case of Vista Volunteer Nancy Morgan where the victim’s killer has been taunting the local cops for years.

Heard some additional information as to why the initial 9-1-1 call was reported as an “unresponsive person” rather than “people are dead.” Both the surviving roommates had gone upstairs to see what was going on. They came across Ethan first and freaked out due to the scene. They both left the house screaming. One of them then tried to call 9-1-1 and apparently collapsed/passed out from the shock. The other roommate was screaming incoherently about Ethan inside. Two passers-by had at this point come to the roommates. One took the phone from the girl who passed out and then completed the 9-1-1 call by saying the girl making the call had passed out. They paramedics arrived and after much confusion, went into the house and realized it was more than just a person who’d passed out.

The FBI has rounded up and incarcerated thousands of Trump supporters based solely on their cell phone pings being on the Capitol grounds on January 6th.

I’m sure the FIB could get some phone pings for that small town apartment around the time of the murders and have a suspect in custody in minutes.

[Red Badger]

Not if the killer had no cell phone...................

This is why I generally eschew any sleep aids. I might take a valerian every so often, or one 25 mg benadryl. Nothing stronger. (SORRY, A$$HOLE NEIGHBS. NOT GOING TO LET MY GUARD DOWN FOR ONE SECOND EVEN AT THE COST TO MY HEALTH.)

Sex and murder sells. Fox is in the money-making business, (as any company should be).

I have always slept like a log.

That's what I heard too, and it explains a lot. Considering the horrible pressure the two surviving roommates were under, and all the speculation about them being stupid beyond belief or even involved, I don't understand why the police haven't released this information (if it's true). There's no reason not to release it, and it would be of immense comfort to the surviving roommates and their families. It seems the police are keeping a lot of things secret that they don't have to.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

This case sort of fits the template for many of the murder cases that seem to attract media interest. The fact that two of the victims were cute, young blond women seems to be an element that draws an inordinate amount of curiosity. The lack of a motive or suspect also adds to the story, as a mystery tends to make people want to follow the story until the questions are answered.

Fox News is after stories that will give them the most number of clicks or page views. And as long as each article on this story delivers, you can be sure their will be more articles.

and cops get mad when they cant solve a case...they love patting each other on the back, and dont like to look bad. ive read books on how badly the L.A.P.D Robbery/Homicide division screwed up the Manson Murders in 1969...and mainly out of purely being stubborn. Any fool could see that the Tate homicide and the LaBianca killing the next night ..that they were connected and done by the same people. 2 days into the investigation, LA County Sheriff Homicide even contacted LAPD with the similarities with other crimes in the area, and were told to take a hike...they were convinced the Tate killings were “drug” related..if it wasn’t for Susan Adkins running her mouth in jail 3 months after ...they probably never would have solved that horrible crime...

[robowombat]

LAPD D’s were being told from on high the two cases were ‘unrelated’. The people at the top in the City Bldg and the Parker Center wanted no connection in fear that the city would dissolve into mass panic over a ‘murder cult’ prowling the city. Better the LoBianca murders never be solved than have the city go ballistic and the city and PD leadership take the heat.
