about the offender being inside the home prior to the victims arriving and said,"It is certainly a possibility that cannot be eliminated at this point."
According to O'Toole, if the offender was in the house beforehand and made a noise that alerted the victims when they returned, it could have permanently interrupted the crime; however, she noted that"it increases the offender's risk level to hide out in the home before the students came home. But this offender is a risk-taker anyway."
"Nonetheless, the bottom line is that, yes, it is possible that the offender was already in the home when the students returned. At this point, this theory cannot be disputed until forensics dispute it, and/or until the offender is apprehended and gives a confession about what happened that night," O'Toole toldAccording to police, Goncalves and Mogen are believed to have returned to their residence at 1122 King Road at around 1:56 a.m. local time.
