I haven't seen anything to substantiate the fact their roommate was trans or they were dating. The only evidence we have is government agencies handing in alleged texts/a note; and they already wrongly arrested 2 people before the main killer was finally brought in (though one of them did falsely claim to be the killer, at least according to the government.)

This also all happened while the governemnt has been trying to strip rights from trans individuals. So it certainly seems way too convient for the US Gov to believe it just because they said so.

At least, thats my thoughts. Though I also wasn't asked lol

This article mentions his roommate/romantic partner, and much later in the article it does say they are trans (later makes sense cause it shouldn't f-ing matter)

I am aware that at this point all "evidence" that isn't publicly verifiable (his Facebook relationships? Multiple friends verifying, ect.) is super suspect as we sadly know this government and the authorities involved will be bending every truth exactly how they please. But that's the info we have right now.
