Jeremy Jurva has met Zosia Stanley.

The details of the crime scenes suggest a number of possibilities about circumstances surrounding the murder. The location of the body, on the lookout-ledge approximately 15 miles from the city, suggests that the body was thrown and that the murder may have been committed in the city nearby (the 15-mile distance may be the intersection of optimal distance and feasibility for the killer). There also seemed to be a number of clues that indicate the killer’s intelligent attempt at deidentification: removal of the clothing (should anyone be able to tie clothing to the victim), decapitation (should anyone be able to recognize her face or examine dental records), and removal of the fingers (so that she could not be fingerprinted). The blouse and bra, tied around the victim’s forearms, may have served as the immediate means for transporting the victim; the nylon cord was likely added later for efficiency in binding and transportation. This suggests that there may have been only one perpetrator who had difficulty transporting the body, and that the body may have been taken to more than one location. The bag containing the skull, fingers, flesh, hair, clothes, and sheets suggests that the killer was intelligent and thorough enough to remove those items belonging to the victim/crime scene that are pertinent to identification of the victim.

The cause of death, though unknown upon discovery of the body, is most likely blunt force to the head (as evident by fractures to the skull). The wound on the neck, which was noted as contribution to the victim’s death, may have been caused after the blunt force to insure death of the victim. The small incisions may indicate the killer used in ineffective device to try and sever the body parts, after death, before eventually using the hack-saw like blade (whose marks are shown on the hands).
