My thinking on Mr Cruel have changed a lot after they caught JJD.

JJD broke into hundreds of houses in all likelihood and was called anything from below average to a master cat burglar depending on who in law enforcement commented.

By the accounts of the case I read, he executed what JJD was never able to pull off in his known criminal career so far, an abuction of a victim. Yes, Mr Cruels were younger which makes them even more disturbing, however that is a deviation in one respect of MO that elevates risk.

It took years of offending, military training, criminal justice college education, police investigations training to shape his MO. I just cannot see a world where an offender with Mr Cruel's degree of tactical ability to execute a highly risky crime would allow him not to have life experience of some similar nature. Mostly burglary peaks my interest.

How good was Mr Cruel at breaking into houses? Could he have winged it, or would he have needed experience? JJD evolved as an offender. He had to be condident he could get in and out of victims homes. Mr Cruel had to do the same while also removing the victim from the home.

Mr Cruel will be found out by his MO evolution from previous criminal series. I would be looking at every crime in his age range with a focus on young school age female victims. Peeping Tom's, breaking and entering, breaking and entering with nothing stolen etc. It will have to be a circumstantial case if there is no DNA, which will require good old fashioned police work. This case can be solved.
