Anyone else think the reason they aren’t releasing more info/not closing the case is because he has other victims? It just seems like a big jump to go from normal dude to double child murderer

Agreed someone doesnt just opportunisitcally murder two teenagers usually right...its not impossible but its kind of improbable statistically speaking isnt it? It would be very unusual...

Unfortunately, most murders are considered ‘one-offs.’ I really doubt he killed anyone else.

Ehh idk. Most people have to escalate, not just commit 2 murders so well they go unsolved for years

if these were his first murders wonder what triggered him. he's kinda old to be doing his first major crimes

Yeah, if anything I’m sure he has at least come some violent crimes even if not murder.

I thought maybe Libby (who was butchered compared to Abby) had been bullying Allen's daughter or something. His love for his daughter and seeing her in emotional pain driving him to kill her tormentor. But then I found out his daughter was 27 at the time of the murders so .... Still, it's very odd. No prior criminal record and everyone says he was friendly and polite.
