@vincevincent6984 Are you joking? You mean to tell me that if you owned a white Elantra, you would have contacted police, in order to "clear your name?" Absolutely no one should do that. It is not illegal to own such a car, nor was it immediately evident that whoever was driving it at the time (who was not necessarily the owner) had anything to do with any crime. I suggest you watch a famous Frontline documentary about the Norfolk Four (all servicemembers) called The Confessions. You need to have a more realistic attitude about what talking to the police may entail, and what can happen to you if you try to "help" them in their investigation. Four men who had nothing to do with a vicious crime needed something like two decades, if not more, to regain some normalcy in their lives, and they continue to be shunned socially to this day. They served this country as members of the U. S. Navy. If it could happen to them, it could happen to anybody.

That's funny . . . in the first weeks after the crime, most "profilers" stated that this was not the perpetrator's first offense. Actually, the alleged obese and drug-addicted past of this suspect don't sound like someone who was in "great shape." Every 40-year-old I know looks younger than this guy. As for the rest, he sounds like a lot of guys of his generation who, unlike Ted Bundy, were unsuccessful in attracting women. The man in the lower right-handed corner of this video made the most sense. I think the police have the right person, but I don't know that, and I have no problem saying I don't know.

Well thank goodness that in America evidence and not perfect profiles are what count in a court of law.

@vincevincent6984 I do? LOL

@Stacy- After he lost weight, still others have gone on record to say that he had a heroin problem. And yes, people with that health history have died while running. His appearance does has clinical relevance as well. I guess the last few years have shown us just how much people view health holistically -- like, maybe, not at all? I hope you don't think any of the things you mentioned are evidence he is a murderer, or inclined to kill, much less that he is guilty of this crime. None of it would be, in a real court. He's not so slight of build that he'd be incapable of physically killing these people, if that's what you mean -- but that takes less physical presence than you might think. If he were short and skinny it wouldn't make me think he was innocent.

I doubt that it was deliberate, because of the nature of the crime. But it's not impossible.

@valerie241 I hope the affidavit will clarify a lot of things. The pieces of this puzzle don't quite match yet.

@danielzielke9997 He's just making the point that in murders of this nature, that is one almost incontrovertible way of identifying the perpetrator. He stated it as a hypothetical. Read it again.

@vincevincent6984 Wow, you think someone else has something wrong with them. Blocked. Regular running does not mean a person is in great shape. Many former drug addicts or formerly obese people have had cardiac arrest while running. By the way, your picture . . . wow. (Mine? Da Vinci's house.)

@@californiadreaming118 Look how aggressive this guy had to get right away, browbeating you for making a good point and giving dubious suggestions on what a person should do. (BTW, when replying to him, I thought I was replying to different people.)

@Stacy- Do you think not approaching police if you have a white Elantra (of the right year) is evidence of guilt?

@vincevincent6984 Oh forgive me, that's right, actual facts make you very, very angry. So go write a novel. Do something creative with your aggression and your fantasy life. You have to buy off friends? You brought it up for some reason. Funny you think someone else is arrogant.

@Stacy- I'm an attorney. It's not blah blah. I see the Constitution ravaged daily. I don't know why I'm still effing surprised. I can immigrate to a higher quality of life (Mediterranean country, fabulous food, $650 rents . . . ). Can you? I deserve it.

@Stacy- Suppose his car did meet the specifications perfectly? His failure to approach police is still not an admission of anything. He might not even have heard about their press release. In any case, even if he had, it is generally not wise to approach police if there is anything about you that could lead them to consider you a suspect in a crime. That's just a fact. The right not to approach police exists to protect innocent people. You respond to a subpoena issued by a judge or magistrate, not to police sweeps. Among other things, police have a right to lie to you, but your sole right is to remain silent. It is illegal to lie to law enforcement.

@Stacy- No, I'm not being difficult. YOU said "blah blah blah" with respect to the presumption of innocence. You surprised me when you said that. I did not expect it. Do you have zero self-awareness? That seems to be how people attempt to assert superiority now. Everyone heard about the crime. The bulletin about the car came close to the holidays. Apparently he was stopped by police in Indiana and allowed to proceed, despite having The Car -- perhaps deliberately, but that's doubtful considering how dangerous the murderer of these four people is. So, even law enforcement didn't consider his car suspicious, even to check in with Idaho authorities or with the FBI. You just don't like smart people. Here's a clue: you know where smart comes from? A lot of discipline and very hard work. No wonder you all don't like it! It's your Constitution to trash, and your standards to trash. You should think about that, because it won't be affecting me. I'm just "keeping it real." Someone needs to tell you.

@Stacy- Wait a minute here. WHERE did you see any comment by me that even hinted at "your finances?" Nobody cares about that. What made you think I alluded to it? That's twice now. I don't think a person with a history of serious drug addiction and serious obesity is in "good shape," objectively speaking, and you read it as meaning I thought he was too weak to kill the victims(!) Whoa. Yikes. Petite women with a knife have managed to kill much larger people. Active drug addicts with a knife, same thing. Whatever happened to rationality?

@Stacy- Anyway, another one to block.

@Stacy- Oh I get it. I wasn't one-upping you concerning money. 😅 I was telling you not to trash the one thing that is truly unique to America -- the Bill of Rights. You may miss it some day.

@madirae01 Someone with a Vampire thumbnail with blood coming out from the side of his mouth posts, "He’s absolutely the killer he fits the profile perfectly. He’s exactly what I expected. . . . " and people take him seriously, and he's allowed to "discipline" the entire thread. OF COURSE there is no evidence that the family expected this. That they did or did not "know" is sheer speculation, and the entire OP is the product of one person's imagination, spun in an effort to regain a sense of control in a chaotic world. I was always leery of juries, but at this point I wonder if any jury can function in America. Could someone like this dominate the others? Sure. Sure they could. This society has bigger problems that even this horrific murder would lead a person to believe.
