Writing a letter, is not the same as breaking silence. Let's hear about what happened in the morning & the 911 call please. These girls owe it to the victims' families to help find the killer.

Where's the roommates? Thought it was 2 girls????

They would still be my prime suspects. In the house, what possible alibi could they have? They cleared them pretty quick…. 🤔🤔🤔

One of a kind? Wasn't one of them a triplet though?

Why were both roommates unable to speak for themselves during memorial. Yes. They are young. Are they hibernating with their parents? Their entire 8 hr alibi made no sense. Inviting friends over hours before police contaminated scene. Maybe they have not watched any shows with police investigators. Maybe they have no common sense. I wonder if they have remained friendly with each other??

The closest people are the ones who did it! PLEASE don't exclude ANYONE that was around them!

How close was Dylan Mortensen to see his bushy eyebrows in the dark at 4am, sounds more like an intimate moment. She then immediately froze for 8 hours, which means she instantly knew he was the killer but decides to lock her door and wait. Made phone calls to friends and family first, only to dial 911 lastly... after 8 hours. Sorry but I ain't falling for her bs. An 8 year old child would have dialed 911, but Dylan decided not to.

The roommates are probably in a safe house

The police is protecting the roommates. You all really think this one skinny nerdy book worm phd guy was able to stab 4 people to death all in different rooms in under 20 minutes? really? We want to hear the 911 calls and need to hear why she waited for the girls to die, and did not call police to try to save them. When they finally did call they play acted as if " they couldn't tell the girls were stabbed covered in blood and dead. You really expect us to believe this was just some random nerdy guy? The American public is so used to being lied to and manipulated that they Will believe anything. I hope to god an innocent man is not convicted just because hes a nerdy outcast. He was probably framed by real ex cons who thought it would be funny to Frame some guy they didnt like. Probably met him online while he did his criminal minds research. At this point there is no hard evidence and we should not convict some guy for being a nerdy stalker.
