If you kill a young woman in a park and ditch her body nearby, are you going to go back to that same area and attack someone else? I don't think so. Most criminals, regardless of what they say in detective novels, DON'T return to the scene of the crime!

Actually, you're wrong. I served on our county grand jury for 3 months. One of the things they taught us was to consider a crime's "MO." Evidently, most criminals are so stupid that once they hit upon a plan that works, they stick with it. So, for example, if they rob a Wendy's and get away with a good haul, they'll drive past a McDonalds and a Burger King looking for another Wendy's....

Yeah, but they wouldn't necessarily go back to the same Wendy's. I would believe he may have continued to attack women, and may have even attacked women joggers, but to attack someone near where you have previously stashed a body? That goes against all laws of self-preservation.

Anyone else hear the Fox report this morning that there may be evidence that Chandra was tied up in some manner? That would take this latest suspect pretty much out of the picture.
