There is some sort of pyschological lesson here, although I doubt many will learn anything. But, it's always the same with these types; Bundy, Gacy, Peterson. They are always somebody that "would never do something like this."

As for Peterson, it seems, the total absence of passion, anger and conflict attributed to his "likability" for many. Everything that made him non-human made him the "perfect person."

Like I said, there is a lesson here... one we've learned many times. But nobody will glean much from it.

Many people--including his wife's family--said the same thing of Mark Hacking, who killed his pregnant wife as she slept (allegedly--like Scott, he was such a liar we might never know the whole truth of it). That's the thing about sociopaths: they can be so believable and likeable--very convincing. For instance, Bill Clinton actually got elected twice, the ultimate in sociopathic grifters.
