I’m sure it just came out of the blue with this guy. Like no-one that knew him even imagined he was capable of doing something like this... Yeah, right.
I’d rather believe otherwise but it seems sometimes these really sick killers do have a way of appearing normal to many if not all others.
I remember for example the BTK killer, what was that, had a wife and kids and a job and did volunteer work and neighbors and none of them suspected a thing.
There have been others, several, whose names don’t pop up right away that have been convicted even of multiple murders who have many, many people who testify that they seemed normal.
Of course you have the Kacynskis and the creeps who held the girl in Antioch and the abductors of the Utah girl who behaved like obvious loonies.
It is unsettling and I wish it weren’t so, but I do believe that some very violent and wicked people can present as completely normal when they choose to.
