i think he's an immature poser trying to imitate a "romantic" style of writing to impress his friend jmbar2 Sep 17 #1

yes it would be very important to get legitimate examples of past writing style. Irish_Dem Sep 17 #10

I keep thinking, Tyler wasn't stupid. He was a straight a student and earned a scholarship. Walleye Sep 17 #13

What would the motive be for changing his writing style after the murder? Irish_Dem Sep 17 #15

I don't know, but if it is AI, it's a pretty clumsy attempt Walleye Sep 17 #26

It is not unusual for a murderer to try use writing style to cover up a crime. Irish_Dem Sep 17 #29

My guess would be #2. pandr32 Sep 17 #2

There are LE investigators who spend their entire lives evaluating written material. Irish_Dem Sep 17 #16

Do you have a citation from a few on this issue? Silent Type Sep 17 #17

I am refuting your general comment about evaluation of written material from crime scenes. Irish_Dem Sep 17 #18

When you get a citation from some, I'd like to read them. Silent Type Sep 17 #20

He was sitting in his car nervously waiting for the 'lingering' 'squad car' to leave to see if he could 'retrieve' his still-prayin4rain Sep 17 #5

Exactly. Why would he recount details of the murder while also trying to hide the evidence? It makes no sense. sop Sep 17 #9

He wasnt in his car -- he was in his 'vehicle'! (typical gen z speak) 70sEraVet Sep 17 #30

Right? Along with, dude, stop texting every SINGLE detail to me. Sheesh. still-prayin4rain Sep 17 #34

Both sides of the conversation are odd. yardwork Sep 17 #46

And none of that sounded "romantic" MorbidButterflyTat Sep 17 #71

What are the odds of Kirk's assasin being involved with a transgender person? hadEnuf Sep 17 #65

Interesting that even people on the far right are questioning the veracity of the texts. Wiz Imp Sep 17 #75
