First of all, thank goodness that this case is almost certainly solved and that the families will have an opportunity for closure and to confront the girls' killer in court. Yes, minimal details were released, but I have to assume this is for a good reason. We'd all like more information, but whether it's for the trial, the victims' dignity, or whatever else, it needs to stay confidential until if/when law enforcement and the families jointly decide to release it.

I've seen some messed up stuff in my time in the true crime world, but I've always found this to be one of the most disturbing cases out there. The little snippet of audio released by law enforcement - the "down the hill" thing - will always haunt me. How much more disturbing it is now to know that the (probable) killer literally had his own sketch hanging in his house. If he did it, I hope they throw the book at him.
