Suspect in custody in quadruple murder of University of Idaho students

[titsonritz]

Not sure if anyone has been following this story but it looks like they may have their man. Suspect was a PhD student in Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology at WSU. What better way to refine your serial killer skills than study them from the other side in college, I bet it will come this was not his first killing.

At least he might have a chance at the death penalty in ID.

I hope this is the guy. If so as mentioned above we may actually see the scum die if they have the right guy. This case had seemed to be such a mess I was thinking it would never be solved. Again I do hope they have the right guy.

I'm hearing they have DNA evidence positively linking him to the scene.

Still innocent until proven guilty in court.

As with anyone of course. It will be interesting to hear more come out about this. Like what the hell lead up to this. Sure sounds like passion gone wrong.

Sounds more like he wanted to see what it was like to kill someone and see if he could get away with it.

Someone like that "normally" would not do it like that. Using only a knife, multiple people in the home at the time. He for some reason known only to him left others there unharmed. Sure sounds like he had a real hate going on for at least one of the girls.

Don't rule out the possibility that they are also still looking for an accomplice (easier for 2 to kill 2 each per floor, than 1 to kill 4 on 2 floors).
It could be a case of entitled arrogance and opportunity to prove superiority.

For your consideration I give you....
Nathan Freudenthal Leopold Jr. (November 19, 1904 – August 29, 1971)[1]​ and Richard Albert Loeb (/ˈloʊb/; June 11, 1905 – January 28, 1936), usually referred to collectively as Leopold and Loeb, were two wealthy students at the University of Chicago who kidnapped and murdered 14-year-old Bobby Franks in Chicago, Illinois, United States, in May 1924. They committed the murder – characterized at the time as "the crime of the century"[2]​ – hoping to demonstrate superior intellect,[3]​ which they believed enabled and entitled them to carry out a "perfect crime" without consequences.

Hitchcock's "Rope" with James Stewart was inspired by that event.

Too many people having their death sentences overturned these days, give him the needle! Or the chamber.. I hear it smells like pine oil?
