Possibly, but I think it was more just rage and a desire to wipe her out along with anything she valued. Who knows why a crazy person fixates on a particular family member?
Poor mothers! Women psychotics usually focus on a relative (either one of their parents or one of their children) of the same sex, which would mean the mother in the case of a psychotic fixated on a parent. At the same time, male psychotics also often seem to fixate on their mothers.
And in this case, the parents were divorced (having a child with problems of this sort is a real strain on a marriage, leaving aside everything else), and his mother had taken him in, so I guess she was naturally going to be the target, along with everything associated with her.
Help! I missed a turn somewhere. I thought the father was found shot dead? Did father survive, or was he never shot at all. What about the guy in the woods, in camouflage, who was taken into custody, heard saying “I didn’t do it”? Who was he?
Also, what about the missing girlfriend and missing best friend? I missed when these announcements were altered. Thank you.
