-mass murder characteristics

-TARGETED attack

- at minimum, suspect's phone was pinging off the same cell tower as victims; sometimes close enough to automatically have is phone connect to wifi

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "ONLINE STALKING"

-12 x's, since J

u:likely, due to his "awkwardness", and or lack of people skills, he

likely did the majority of "stalking" or "surveillance" behavior 

ONLINE; from a comfortable distance. Was not a part of their inner

circle. He studied them mostly by watching from afar. He is a 

coveter. How do we begin to covet? We covet what we sees. IN

HIS MIND, he had some type of perceived or imagined 

relationship(s) with one or more of his targets. Rich fantasy in in 

inner self/inner mind. Introversion makes him even more of a

fantasist and engaging with that active/violent fantasy(ies).

Anger toward/against women. This seems to be a pervasive

pattern t/o his life. His anger toward women was born out. of a 

sense of "not being good enough" for "them." In his mind he

draws important distinctions between "I" and "Them." 'Them"

being the other; the enemy, all the white sheep as he's the black

one. He, most importantly, became fixated on the fantasy of those

TARGETS he coveted; because he knew he could not have what he

coveted. The "closeness" between these roommates/friends 

(namely Maddy and Kaylee) were both a literally, and figurative 

boundary to him accessing, him having access to them. He felt he 

could eliminate whatever boundaries, real or perceived, that stood

as a boundary or obstacle to access/interactions. By using a knife, 

he could cross "that boundary" by having up close and intimate

physical attacks with his "targets."

----Someone comfortable with blood/blood being on him Blood 

may or may not be part of what he wants to "experience." Blood is

the physical representation of "destroying what he cannot have."

---The crime itself is brazen. To enter a home, with potentially up

to 6 females residing inside, at 4am. This is a time frame in which 

many of the 12 previously noted instances suspect was noted to be

in area. At 4am, it's likely, especially if he observed their behavior 

the many times he drove around/near property, that he hoped to 

gain the upper hand through the element of surprise, the girls 

possily being under the influence of alcohol, and, he suspect likely

though everyone inside was sleeping.

___________________________________________________

ORANGIZED VS. DISORGANIZED?

-The Suspect is both Organized & Disorganized. Organized, in the

sense that he, basically, had years of education and planning

leading up to this crime. Origins traced, possible to DeSales 

University with his thesis work/series of questions he asked 

criminals on Reddit to complete and return to him. Organized in

that he brought murder weapon to crime,and removed it when he

left.

_________________________________________ -DISORGANIZED

Crime, crime scene, choice of weapon, make the crime itself 

"sloppy." He left behind the knife sheath that he brought to scene. 

Seemed "frenzied attack."

several of his former posts inferred that he was impotent. 

-Killings done in 15 minutes. Very rushed, feral/in a fury/hurry.

This could explain why sheath was left behind in the first place.

Because he was in "such a state."

______________________________________________ -Schizoid Personify type in presentation -pre-meditation

-His driving does get him into trouble. One traffic ticket he 

received was within a few weeks of the crime, and he was stopped,

near Moscow, do to erratic driving. He is a notably "punchy" 

driver. He was stopped, the day after the murders, on WSU campus

for being in the middle of intersection when the light turned red. 

made quite the impression, bc he wanted to know, specially, to

 

the letter, to the number, what law(s) he'd broken to this police

officer (who happens to be female).

-took odd, "seemingly" random home to PA after homicides

_he has many unaccounted for time gaps on his phone and phone pings. ____________________________________________ PERP BX CHANGES:

-AFTER: much more talkative and animated after murders

-oddly quiet, in contrast, when "this " case was mentioned in 

classroom conversations.

-changed license plate on car 5 days after murder. Perhaps to 

blend in better? He renewed his tags this same day; receiving 

Washington plates; one in front, on in back, in addition to a 

Washington State driver's license he got the same day.

-VERY ACTIVE on multiple, now confirmed, online forums, 

engaging with others, on or about the crime. In particular, under 

the handle "PAPPA ROGERS." An incel reference, to the hero 

amongst all incels; Elliot Roger.
