With the murder weapon, the victims underwear and a trail of emails...I'd have to say less time than it took me to type this response. Boy was none to bright.

He was done for as soon as the media came up with the clever nickname, "Craigslist Killer." Sounds straight out of CSI. He was certainly not bright though, far too much incriminating evidence. What I'm more interested in seeing is the stance his defense takes. Given that so much is working against him, I'm willing to bet we'll hear a really clever "insanity" or mentall ill argument. I can just see it now, "His mother was bad with men, so he kills women he meets online..." It should be interesting to follow.

It's not uncommon for sociopaths to feel no guilt and believe themselves so clever that they will never be caught!

It'll be something like that, no doubt. Or the pressure of med school, blah, blah, blah.

You know, I wonder if he didn't WANT to get caught. Even the dumbest rock knows that IPs can be easily traced. He's obviously got SOME sort of tech savvy... he was always texting, and I have to assume that he is fairly smert given that he was in BU's med school.

Unless he just felt SO superior to those poor women that he assumed they'd be too ashamed to report it or that no one would care if they did.

His fiancee sent this really weird email to ABC saying he was being set up and to please leave them alone so that they could get married and live happily ever after... I wonder what she's thinking now that all this new stuff has come out?

Lawd knows how many times she's forgiven him for beatings, missed dates, etc. She totally fits the profile of the wife/gf who calls 911 and then refuses to press charges. ("Officer, I was wrong, I shouldn't've asked him what he wanted for dinner until the game was interrupted for commercials. He's already promised to never yank my hair out or punch me in the face again.") As for him, he probably figured that being a big blonde successful White boy would automatically deflect all suspicion. For once the proliferation of Big Brother cameras in the name of "homeland security" paid off, though the images are as craapee (intentional misspelling) as the ones used to try to nab bank robbers.
Neither here nor there, but didn't it strike anybody else as strange that the Warwick "masseuse" robbery was thwarted when the woman's husband happened on the scene? What was their deal?

He is not a online killer. He is an american killer or Kansas killer or wherever he came from.

Why continue to create false origins. The person lives in a city. where he went to someone's high school, and worked at someone's job.

Why give craigslist all the credit!!

cheers!

Guess what, it does remind me of the guy who did kill his wife! Then he called 911 and did stay in Braintree, the Sheraton! I do think
she was having a baby. His story with lies did fall apart fast! People sure did feel bad, then the real story, how, money was the motive! How sad
I do think, he did cry in a bad place, however the story did go up in smoke fast. He wanted money, and that was it- She should count her lucky stars
she is still here! Who does know, down the road, what might have been her time! She still has a life, to go on with! Not the girl he killed, and the victims.
She, might soon have been one, who really knows? A great guy, does not do this, also a person, to get married? She also may be a victim, however,
is really finding all this so hard to see? Maybe, she lives, and, the poor girl did die! If you are in med school, how do you get all this time off?
I was under the idea, it was work, a sad lesson for all.
