Weren’t they killed in Their bed?

All four victims did not die in their beds.

As you can see by the photo from the scene of the crime, there is a very large stream of blood running down the outside retain wall of the home.
If all four victims had been killed in their beds there would have been NO BLOOD. The blood would have been absorbed into the mattress like a giant sponge.
But if you notice the flooring in the hallway -- it's laminate, probably plastic coating to resist liquids such as water or blood
That means that any large amount of said liquid would run off. And by the look of the house, it may have had a slope - not level. So that liquid most probably pooled along the outside wall and drained down to the first floor and streamed on the outside wall of the house to the ground below.

They’re probably still looking for that white man that killed all those women that Derrick Todd Lee killed…

So 4 people know the truth? And they found not one, but two guys willing to viciously murder 4 other college kids because of late rent or drama?

I mean this isn’t hitman shite. This is vicious. Killing someone with a bladed weapon is messy and not always slow or simple or quiet.

I think its more likely that whoever killed the 4 didn't know the 2 girls were sleeping in another room.

That shouldn’t be too surprising. Trying to use a mostly soft science to make predictions should miss pretty often.

What if, and I’m just throwing this out there…his wasn’t the killers first kills? I mean doing it stealthily with a bladed weapon? One would assume a novice would be too sloppy, if someone isn’t used to killing with a knife, (Are we certain it was a knife?) they wouldn’t know how to efficiently and silently slaughter all 4. Either that or the roommates were in on it for some other reason

---

I mean, Danny Rolling got pretty good at knifing people real quick over the course of a single week, including a male victim who he got the jump on.

Some people are natural talents.

Have the police said anything about forced entry? The house had a key code lock. If no forced entry then the killer knew the code or was let in. This is the only thing stopping me from going all in on random psycho serial killer.

The random psycho could still be a local that attended parties and got the code on the sly.

But I’d be grilling the other roommates pretty hard right now if I were on this case. Something is fishy

Something isn’t adding up, but it could just be they played quiet mouse when they heard screaming downstairs and are reluctant to say anything due to shame or because they know even an excuse like “playing mouse” still sounds suspicious.

Edit: If they were involved in a hit on their housemates, it still seems more reasonable for the hit men to employ guns rather than knifes and for there to at least be the staging of a robbery.

Killing with a knife is much more personal than shooting someone. It can’t be done from a distance. That also means that the assailant or assailants would have been covered in blood of not just one victim but four. It would be next to impossible for the other roommates to commit the murders and not leave a mountain of evidence all over their room, shower, clothes, their vehicles and so on. To me this sounds like the only motive for the crime is that they just wanted to kill for the sake of killing. If it was a beef with a particular individual in the house it doesn’t make sense to continue to go room to room killing the others while they sleep.
