Yeah, I guess maybe that's it. I mean what sort of 40 year old who seems so sane and normal just decides suddenly to kill a couple of random people for no real reason? It makes you feel very unsafe.
I am about to watch the link because these type of things fascinate me but I think that my background makes it easier for me to understand someone like this killer. A psychologist once told me that my mother was a sociopath. I don't know if mom was one or not but it was miserable being her child. EVERYONE told me that she was a great parent who adored me. She was not. When I tried to reach out for help because her abuse was not physical, no one took me seriously. Outwardly, she seemed so sweet and knew how to get people, especially men, to do what she wanted. She manipulated and lied to every single person in her life. Once she told me that people don't have to believe you but if you plant just a seed in their heads about another person, that seed will eventually grow. Some people are very good at wearing a mask in front of others. They are terrifying people when that masks slips and the real person peeks out.
