I think he hates his mother; and I think it all started the day he was married when she told him about his "missing" brother and sister.
No doubt about it, mamma is complicit in this crime. Scott seems like a mammas's boy. Most killers are. Some reporter or shrink will eventually write a book about all the stuff in these people's lives. Available on Amazon.com in about 6-12 months.
