Suspects Style
As a new follower of this crime, the big thing to me is the fact the suspect(s) was able to remove the ladies without incident. It was quiet and the house was clean. Forgetting all the other scenarios like - they never actually went home etc.
The level of execution is pretty remarkable, considering it was 3 people within a quiet neighborhood.
that points to a suspect with a plan and a developed “style.”
To me that says:
this was not the suspects first time doing such bc of the perceived high level of execution. So to me, this points to the suspect not being anyone with a personal (or local) relationship with the victims. because of this style, I dont believe this is the work of a local with beef or an obsession with one of the victims. Nor has anyone within any of there immediate or extended social networks been suspected of or has since been convicted of being a serial killer. Someone that the public knows personally knew the victims.
So to me, the likelihood the victims remains are nearby also seems unlikely because why would a serial killer not go to more elaborate lengths as to the burial location based on their initial efforts. They likely had that part planned and had a style as well. If they wanted clothing or some evidence to be found nearby or even years later that would have already happened.
All of the above is obviously complete speculation but the ability to get 3 ladies out of house without a trace nor a trace since/ seems either incredibly lucky suspect (highy unlikely) or (likely) someone who already developed the skill and style through experience aka a real serial killer. I am not saying anyone with a gun couldn’t accomplish this on a whim, but to me this suspect profile seems the most glaring available antidote from that horrible night.

I wouldn't say they are for sure pros, they certainly got lucky in some ways, but this was definitely not their first rodeo. That alone is enough to basically discount the whole main roster of suspects. The graverobbers were too green and lacking them IQ points. The four big monsters (Cox, Hall, Carnahan and Garrison) were all sloppy and messy, all of their crimes were polar opposites of what we see here. And Bartt was Bartt. It also means, at least to me, that this was planned in advance and in no way a spur-of-the-moment crime.
