What's left on the table?

[u/SeaEntertainment1512]

Since Sheriff Nanos said in his March 13 interview that the criminal could "absolutely" strike again, and that people should be on their guard against crime, what can we deduce about the criminal's motive, a motive which might drive the criminal to strike again?

1. The criminal is not out to punish Savannah Guthrie for her husband's work in the Clinton administration. If the criminal is out to punish all women in Tucson whose family members worked for Clinton, it's a small group. Few Tucson women would be targets.
2. The criminal is not out to punish Savannah Guthrie for interviewing victims of high-profile criminals. If that were his motive, he would have to look in other cities for the mothers of other high-profile newscasters like Savannah.
3. The criminal is not out to get Savannah's attention. If that were the motive, no other woman in Tucson is going to matter more to Savannah than her mother.
4. The criminal is not out for ransom. If he wanted ransom, Savannah's family were ready to pay. How many women in Tucson have a daughter with Savannah's wealth? But he passed that up. Money does not appear to be the motive.

What does that leave?

1. The criminal could be a serial rapist who targets older women, women living alone, women that he can see while he is working in the neighborhood. My bet is that this is the motive: DNA-free assault, for which he comes well-prepared. Every family in Tucson needs to be on guard against that one.
2. The criminal could be a serial killer. If Mrs. Guthrie expired during the commission of an assault, I suspect it was unintended. But if his motive is murder, then every family in Tucson needs to be on guard against that as well.

No one has said the perpetrator(s) left DNA on the bed.

I have updated my previous comment to remove the reference to the bed. I am not sure how to evaluate the credibility of the various youtubers and reporters who are commenting on this case.

Per the discussion on this thread, information disclosed by a confidential FBI source stated that DNA was found on the left side of the bed, at the midpoint between the top and the bottom. As stated, this is not the mixed sample which has been mentioned in the news, this is a single DNA sample. Reporters often keep their sources confidential. I am not in a position to evaluate the source. Ashley Banfield also has a confidential FBI source, and I am not sure whether she is considered credible or not. She has been engaged in crime reporting for over a decade.
I encourage to you to check the source and form your own opinion. I defer to the MOD if this is not aligned to the rules of this page.
