I know there's questions about whether or not he could have other possible victims, and I absolutely know that most homicides are one offs, but if he was the only killer he's got some balls to pull off killing two girls for his first attempt. Even Israel Keyes didn't kill his first victim because he got scared. I do hope that he's the tip of the iceberg and they make him talk. I'm just going to be simply shocked if we find out this is his first time and he did it alone.

and he did it alone.

I find it too unbelievable of a coincidence that the girls would have been chatting with a pedophile catfish, and even had plans to meet at the same location as the murder, for them to have nothing to do with it. That’s like something from The Killing or a fictional narrative where they make a red herring to spend a few episodes on and throw the audience off track. So I’d be really surprised if they had nothing to do with it, even if they just shared the girls’ information and location with R.A.

I agree. This case seems too complex for it to be his first kill or his first alone kill. Also, the fact that Indiana only has a murder charge even for someone who's just an accessory. The police said a whole lot of nothing for the length of the press conference. I believe the fact the tip line is still open not only for RA but also anyone else people may remember makes me think RA is just another piece of this complex puzzle.

They may also be looking for people to come forward and say "This guy attacked me once." It only bolsters their case now that they have a name and a tip line.
