I'm with you on that, Maikai! I'm convinced this killer is not sophisticated or clever. More likely, he's been lucky (1) the crime scene wound up as contaminated as it did and (2) that LE refused offers of assistance from anyone with homicide experience and (3) that LE saw fit to focus attention on the wrong suspects, wasting time, money, and manpower.
