[Anonymous]

Same PP. Using AI prompts and my own searches I think he worked at Konica-Minolta Business Solutions.

Definitely a lot more to this story that has not been published yet. These buildings have cameras everywhere, so the suspect is definitely on camera and APD is likely trying to track that person down. Since there's no signs of forced entry the likely perps are (1.) spurned lover, (2.) drug deal gone bad, or (3.) internet hookup.

You are a sick person. It is someone's son. What is wrong with you?

Also, is it known where the victim worked? It's weird no mention of the place. Usually it's "promising consultant" or "sales exec for ..." in stories about homicides.

Some places reported that he was "in between jobs" at the time. It's so strange.

Stabbing inside the apartment is maybe personal, but stabbing outside is not necessarily personal. Wasn't the woman who was recently murdered on the street in Mt. Pleasant or wherever stabbed? That was a stranger.

I can’t believe people buy into the “stabbing means the perp knew the victim” bs.

“Criminal Minds” has been on for a long time. Everybody thinks he’s Joe Montegna.

I mean...its not that unusual. Didn't this happen to another single man -- also lived alone -- in Arlington the year before? Can't remember his name but he lived in a high-rise.

Are you thinking of the man that had a son? I think that one made more since bc there was a woman or two women involved.

I thought he was too young (for this area) to have a kid? He was in his late 20s.

His HS on and off girlfriend of (9 years!!) was reported to have a lot of "sugar daddies" and his father was a rich federal contractor. He seemed to have zero enemies so I'm wonder if someone did this to hurt his father or the GF was involved and hired a hit because of some stupid reason like he wouldn't marry her or something. Things don't add up with this case at all.

Also disturbing is the police actions or inactions on this case, waiting a whole year for the video of the person of interest (who is going is to remember seeing this guy masked in ballston before covid a year later in the mist of a worldwide pandemic?! They removed time stamps on the video (that makes it even harder to remember if you saw him or not), not releasing the full cause of death other then blunt trauma to the chest (blood on his hands, neck, and face) WHY if he wasn't stabbed? WHY was this called in as a "cardiac arrest" if there was blood all over him? So many very odd things about this case but the police is seemingly hindering NOT helping the investigation if they wanted eye witnesses accounts of him in the area. They also had to have video of how we left the area, car, bike metro ALL on film but none of it released. WHY? Their could be a car we could have looked out for or a bike.

All and all this seems like a professional hit, tape over the backpack and shoes. He changed his shoes after the murder. Bleach. He got away with it. Screams a hit man to me.

Arlington is known for "you always know your killer." There's little in the way of random murders.

Or you know who hired your killer.

It could be somehow linked to the father's business or the victim's networking and business development activities, is my theory. Disgruntled coworker, fired employee or colleague, loser in a bid competition...sounds like too much emphasis on protecting the companies and not enough on getting tips from a broader network.

Except they have no suspect and there seems to be no one who came forward to report a person who matches that description which is all his parents asked for don't ask wether you think they can kill or not report anyone who fits that description.

This is what I'm thinking they only theory that makes sense. The only motive if they're saying he wasn't using drugs and he wasn't looking for sex online with rando's. This and the girlfriends "sugar daddies" but that seems less likely. Everyone said he had no enemies but did the dad?
