Re: Enlisted?
I've been thinking about how the CPK placed his victims clothes neatly folded inside the vehicles. And of how he slashed the throats of Cathy and Becky when they were already dead.
Could these be habits, compulsions? Maybe the CPK did those things out of habit or training. Was it a compulsion and he couldn't help doing it? Sailors and soldiers are trained to fold their clothes neatly. Maybe he was a sailor or soldier.
Some hunters and fishermen slash the throats of fish/wildlife after they've already been killed. . Maybe this killer has slashed throats of deer, bears or other animals before as he looked into their eyes and watching the blood flow. Maybe he imagined what it would be like to do it to a human being.
If indeed the CPK did kill the Bluefield couple in 1978 and his next crime was either Margaret-Hall in 1984 (six years later) or Thomas-Dowski in 1986 (eight years later), it could be that he enlisted. The killer may have been experiencing extreme stress or trauma when he killed the Bluefield couple and after the murder he may have panicked and wanted to get as far away as possible, and the only way to do that was to enlist.
The Bluefield murder took place in May 1978. October 1986 was the Thomas-Dowski murder. That's an eight year gap. If the CPK enlisted after May 1978 for four years, he could have re-enlisted for another four years, which would have had him out just prior to October 1986.
And once again, "IF" the CPK did murder the Bluefield couple, he may have fantasized about it over the years, wanting badly to repeat the crime. If so, it could be why bits and pieces of that crime show up in all the CP murders - truck, doused with fuel, couple, three day legal holiday weekend, after 11PM, wooded area, long tree-lined road, gunshot to heads, river, beach, blanket, females shoes removed, separated from vehicle, no sexual assault, got away with m-u-r-d-e-r . . . .
