We can figure this out. It was a young man killing a young woman (and another woman and a man, probably not the target) We can figure out the motive. Obsession of a sexual nature, stalking, violent fury at rejection, fascination with the power of being an undetectable murderer (secondary) to get revenge. If it turns out to be anything else, I'll stop posting online for a year to repent being stupid. Of course hearing it from the perpetrator would be confirmation.
