He earned a scholarship Southeast technical school for “land surveying” after HS graduation. Probably shifted gears at some point and decided to get a 4yr degree. Really not that unusual. There is a lot of detail from family, friends, neighbors etc in a daily mail article I read (too lazy to link it)- all comments very positive about him and the family. And in a midwestern small town like that (I grew up in a very similar town), where he apparently lived his whole life- everyone knows everyone and everything.
It doesn’t mean he is innocent but there aren’t any red flags either.
Daily mail is a valid source like this site?

Initially they were saying human trafficking. Pretty far fetched.

I can't imagine being in that water at 4 in the morning after consuming a lot of alcohol. It's so dark. I was leery of the waves during the daylight while sober.
red flag warnings were posted at the beach (witness and video says so up thread)
Night swimming in water like that on a dark night can go wrong fast—a wave knocks you down and it’s easy to become disoriented and not even know where the surface is and it’s easy to lose sight of the shore.

sure, like a lot of our 15 year olds - certified to monitor the neighborhood pool
Lifeguard to know NOT to go in the water. Especially at night.
he was drunk
The point is, he would never be able to save her no matter how many years of lifeguard training he had. Especially drunk! People are wild to think that she could have been saved.
Still don't know if she needed or wanted to be saved in water. Nor if she needed or wanted to be saved by him. If foul play?
What if:
-neither went in water
-both went in water
-he went in water, didnt notice if she went in
-he went in, she didn't go in
-she went in, he didn't
-didnt go in water and didn't see what she did
-went in water to try to help her
-went in didn't help her
-he forced her into water
-she forced him into water
Women are weaker and she was far smaller. She didn’t force him anywhere.
He was holding onto her in a very controlling way, not just supporting or affectionate.
Was his shirt torn? How did he get the scratches? Did his missing shirt or shoes have blood on them?
His whole town is the size of a large HS. People who know him will know if he is an angry drunk, disrespects girls or is some gentle giant type.
What if she tried to push him away like someone mentioned she did on the walk to beach from hotel in one of the videos?
Even if she did - it really doesn’t mean anything without context.

Did they gather any new info after they re interviewed people who are probably now sober?

Typical DCUM, always looking to blame the man, to the point of trying to see if he was an "angry drunk".
The beach and waves there were treacherous. It was 4am and dark. She was drunk. Perhaps she... drowned in such dangerous conditions?

Who is to judge someone of when and why they are finishing their degree when they do?
He is in his 20s. No thanks to that link

He is a college senior at age 24 per the linked article above. He was traveling with a 20 year old it appears.

Yes, he is a student at St Cloud State. Grew up in some small hometown in Iowa. Nothing out of the ordinary. He is on the older side to still be a student but that is not particularly unusual either.

Athletes and CTE
Many athletes, especially those competing in contact sports like football and boxing, have CTE and don’t realize it. Taking repeated blows to the head can cause severe concussions and brain trauma, leading to the progression of the disease.
The longer athletes participate in these sports, the higher their chance of developing CTE, possibly leading to dementia.
