I can still remember from the UM segment that Robert Stack mentioned the theory that the killer was high on drugs, because of the brutal nature of the murder.
Since the case is now solved, it comes as no surprise that we have learned additional information about the case that we haven't learned before. The most likely reason is because certain details weren't publicly known while the case was still under investigation.
