I get what you are saying, but she explicitly said in the Affidavit she was frozen in fear. That wouldn't be the case if you just thought it was a houseguest.
I can understand your theory on what happened completely. I lived in a fraternity and can recall many nights being asleep/intoxicated and hearing things going on in the hallways that didn't full register with me. But I can't make it make sense with what was said in the Affidavit.
We now know 4 people were murdered in the house that night.
But if you are:
- A college student
- Live in a town that doesn't have a lot of violent crime, let alone murders
- Are slightly inebriated
- Understand with 4 other roommates that people can come & go 24 hours a day.
- Know there are 5 other people in the home (assuming she knows Ethan Chapin is there)
- Have a room door that has locked entry
It is pretty reasonable that she would not want to confront the person, but just shut her door and lock it. If she didn't hear any shouting or loud noises in home, she might have discounted the interaction and went to sleep.
The part I struggle with is one of the surviving roommates called friends over the next afternoon because one of the victims would not wake up. I thought the coroner said all the victims were stabbed. One would think there would have been blood. I will be curious if that victim was found in a common area of home vs. bedroom. Could that victim have been meeting door dash guy and surprised BK. So he choked (sleeper hold) her to quiet her and then stabbed her?
In response to why didn't BK attack the girl if he realized she saw him. He might have surprised all the other victims, so they weren't able to fight back, only able to respond defensively. To attack the witness if they were separated by distance, brings up greater risk to him. Especially if she locks her door and immediately calls police or starts screaming and wakes neighbors. It was probably the prudent thing for BK to get out of there quickly.
It is a crazy case and will be interesting if BK ever talks because he admits guilt, or he goes to his grave claiming innocence. It would be interesting to know his timeline inside the house and did he intend to kill all 4 upfront or just 1 or 2 and the other died because of random events. He couldn't have expected Door Dash at 4am!
