Thank you. Not sure why a couple of you get so pissy when this chicks behavior is questioned. And the why kinda is Important to understanding her actions. Nobody has suggested that she’s an accomplice. But her actions are certainly worthy of questioning.

Easy to mix up the details in this case and in this thread.

For example, I appreciate that a poster highlighted the detail that he was wearing a Covid-style face mask.

Because my mind must’ve just assumed it was a ski mask, and I probably would’ve gone on thinking that until someone pointed it out.

And I’ve seen a good bit of that in this thread: posters interjecting assumptions as if they are certainties.

The little details make a difference.

Is this his first kill(s) or is it possible he is a serial killer? Could he have made a single kill in much surer settings in the past and wanted to try multiples, take more chances, and then it went really wrong? Isn't anything still on the table with this individual?

It’s possible LarryDavid.

But in my opinion, no.

He wasn’t a predator honing his skills. He made way too many amateur mistakes.

So the pappa rodger handle he was using (if it's confirmed to be him) is a tip. Of the hat to Incel hero Eliot Rodger who killed random sorority girls to get internet fame in the Incel community?

Doesn't mean this guy was an Incel but he was likely aware of the mythology of rodger and the online Incel Community.

He seems kind of weasel-like. The kind that would KO a small girl that was walking down the street, then take her to a remote cabin that he had access to.

Whether he did, or not, I am sure detectives are looking into cold cases from when he was in their areas.

I thought Ethan was killed in the bed. Xana found on the floor with defensive wounds? Xana received door dash and was on TikTok during the time BK was at the house.

Would Dylan seeing him IN the house be considered direct evidence? It wasn’t him fleeing the scene of the crime.


Yes. Eyewitness testimony placing him inside the home at the time the murders occurred is direct evidence. The dna and other forensic findings are circumstantial evidence as they do not independently prove anything. However, when there’s a lot of circumstantial evidence all pointing to the same thing, it becomes very compelling.

I only posted that bc people often dismiss some things as circumstantial evidence without realizing that dna and forensic evidence is circumstantial. Meanwhile, eyewitness testimony which is known to be unreliable frequently is classified as direct evidence.

There's a post on there where he questions the group if a stun gun could have been used to incapacitate. I'm assuming marks would have been visible. Would be interesting if that comes out in trial from autopsies.


What if he stabbed in the same spot as the stun gun markings?

Even if she called the cops right away sadly they were already dead but if she was really so high/drunk to hear all of that and go back to bed til 11am and then call friends first and not cops is really crappy of here I can’t wrap my head around it


I agree her actions are puzzling. Crappy is too harsh of a term to describe them though.

She is rumored to have suffered from PTSD from a traumatic event in her childhood.

In this particular case, I disagree. Her mental facilities were not on par with someone who could act rationally in that moment.

She might have been tripping, and thought(hoped) that she hallucinated it all. It is puzzling in any case, but who would think that what happened in that house was a possibility? Seeing him through the crack in her door makes sense now, but at 4 am, after a night of partying, in the dark presumably? Could you trust beyond a doubt what you were seeing? The affidavit doesn’t say she heard any screams, only muffled sounds and spare responses.

We don’t know that. It’s pure speculation by people on this board. That’s why some are questioning the delay in calling the police. Many have said she was likely high or wasted as a possible explanation for that delay but we do not know. She may have passed out after being frozen in shock. She may have stayed frozen in shock for hours. We. Don’t. Know. It’s an intriguing piece to this story which is why so,e, including I, keep circling back to it even though it likely won’t have any impact on the prosecution. It’s just interesting.

Regardless of all that, direct vs circumstantial evidence classification is a legal term. Eye witness testimony is direct evidence from a legal perspective and is classified as such no matter her state of mind. It’s just a label. Her state of mind will certainly be questioned by the defense team but her eyewitness testimony, while direct evidence, seems to be the weakest evidence we know of so far.

My post was simply explaining the legal definitions of direct vs circumstantial evidence and was in response to some dismissing some evidence as circumstantial while still relying on dna which is also circumstantial.

I admit, I’m guilty of that, and i was quite disappointed in my reading comprehension skills once i realized it. lol
I felt like like a gossip girl wrongly repeating “but he was all in black wearing a face mask”

I didn’t realize it was a Covid type mask until i read the affidavit a second time.

You can be sure that a defense attorney will question it.

Again though this is what I was getting to earlier. Who is this guy? He’s a PhD student. He’s a student researcher interested in what drives criminal behavior. Look at the questions in his student research at DeSales. He’s asking people that have committed criminal acts questions about why they did it, how they did it and their behaviors before and after the crime. In the discussion group Pappa Rodgers is asking the same questions sometimes almost verbatim, only this time he’s not asking them from a research interviewers point of view. He’s conducting it from the killer’s point of view.

Read it this way.. Do you think I used a stun gun to incapacitate my victims?

When you read all of his questions to the group in the first person, it’s obvious he was still in his researcher frame of mind because that it’s the essence of who he is. He’s his own continuing research study.

IMO it’s irrelevant in regards to the outcome of the case

I don’t think so considering the defense atty is a woman

hopefully the prosecutor won’t make her a HUGE part of it considering the rest of the evidence is actually more damning.

If the prosecutor doesn’t bring her into it too much then she won’t need to be questioned too much. What is the defense going to say? She was in on it?
No. They won’t say that.

So they say She’s not credible because she was high or drunk or whatever? Objection you don’t know that. Or maybe they do if they talked to people she hung out with that night. Ok but since when does being high make you make up seeing a man you don’t recognize in your house?
No reason for her to make this up and ruin her life. It would be much smarter for her to say i didn’t hear a peep! I woke up and everyone was dead and i called 911.

This girl is telling the truth and the truth doesn’t make her look good. Poor thing :(
For her OWN sake she would have been better off lying, but for her friends’ sakes, she told the truth

& Whether she was high etc or not. She saw a man. A man she didn’t recognize at the same time there was video footage and ring cameras etc.

& Suppose Dylan didn’t exist….
it doesn’t matter. They don’t even need her to back it all up. The other evidence is damning and think of all they have that we the public don’t yet know yet…

He’s a goner
