Correct, except that I think he's a guy that will want to talk because of exactly what you said. He's delusional about how clever he is, and getting caught won't make that go away. I bet he wants to share his brilliance with anyone who will listen.
New information on Ted Bundy

Idaho is apparently getting dragged for taking the death penalty away. Was discussing this with my wife, like what about the case/evidence is scaring off the prosecution from trying to give this guy what he deserves. When will any perceived holes in the case get revealed?
Maybe they want to avoid the decades of appeals and massive costs that go along with that. Maybe the state has someone on the inside lined up to take him out once he gets to general population.
Going through the hassle to bring back firing squads just to not even try to use it against one of the only known serial killers in years that carved up a bunch of college girls on their flagship campus?
Nobody gets the death penalty anyway
I have a friend who was following the case pretty closely and he thought there was a better chance than most assumed he would get off, if you followed the case closely. I'm not sure exactly why other than they lacked strong evidence.
I'm surprised I haven't seen it come up more, but is it possible this wasn't his first time committing a murder? It's odd he went all the way across the country for school and maybe he was studying criminology to try and see how to defend himself should he get under fire for something he did. Would also think you might try something less grand for your first time and maybe getting away with something prior gave him confidence.
Him working as a security guard at a high school before he moved is super creepy.

Saw something that said the cost of prosecuting, convicting, appealing, and actually executing a death row inmate is approximately $10million over the span of the entire case. A guilty plea and life sentences with no parole and zero appeals will cost the state around $2-3 million over his lifetime. Budget conscious state saves $7million???
The problem is no one actually gets executed
So yeah a waste of time and money

Yes, and put them in general population and maybe another inmate does the dirty work for you. Making someone suffer in a cell for their entire life seems like more of a punishment than killing them.
Agreed, which is why it always surprises me when someone fights tooth and nail to get life in prison instead of death.
In a better world, you'd just ask the guilty party which they prefer and give them the opposite.
