Almost seems like Pong, went on some sort of murderous rampage shortly after being released from prison, almost reminiscent of the killing spree Ted Bundy went on down in Florida after he escaped from a Colorado jail. Surprising how quickly he was able to round up three accomplices in a relatively short period of time after being released, and it does make me wonder if the accomplices knew beforehand the victims would be murdered. Some of the details, besides being chilling, shows someone in the group, most likely Pong, had a very sophisticated and encyclopediac knowledge of how to commit crimes and avoid detection. I was particularly struck by the detail that the stolen motorcycle's license plate had been cut into pieces and buried in four different places. The Achilles heel gap in his knowledge base seems to have been a lack of awareness of how useful CCTV cameras have become in tracking down criminals. If he was incarcerated for a long time before being released, this may explain his lack of awareness. The logistical difficulty of disposing of a victim(s) body (ies) is probably one of the biggest obstacles to successfully committing a homicide. Once this guy cracked the puzzle - just dig a deep enough hole - he seems to have thought he could invincibly commit as many murders as he pleased. The chilling detail that an effort was made to impersonate a police officer(s) does suggest premeditation, and may subject at least some of the defendants to a death penalty finding.
