Eddie Routh, the double murder suspect who allegedly killed retired Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield, might have committed the crimes to steal Kyle’s truck, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by News 8.
Routh confessed to his sister and her husband about the crime on Saturday night, the document says. When they asked whose black truck he was driving, Routh told them “he traded his soul for a new truck,” according to the affidavit.

The pic on google street view shows there’s a nice fairly new truck in his driveway with what appears to be a trailer behind. I’m not believing he traded anything for a truck. Either he was being flippant or the meds were talking. If he was hospitalized in Sept., then counseling isn’t working and makes you wonder what meds he was put on. Interesting how many seriously wacked out psychos are out there on muderous rampages these days.
From what I’ve read, Routh’s mother got in touch with Kyle to help her son. She either didn’t know or didn’t let on to Kyle that her son was that troubled.
They’re going to find him insane, he’ll be put in a mental institution but not on a gurney for the needle.
Something about all this just does not sound right.Chris Kyle was a very saavy man, and if Routh was so dysfunctional that he was having impulsive episodes of post traumatic stress, Kyle would have likely known of it.
Routh murdered two men and then proceeded to act rationally, stealing a truck, running from having done what he knew was wrong. If he was so debilitated or hallucinating, he would have collapsed in emotional distress and shot himslef or injured himself.Some things just do not fit.
This has elements of a planned hit, accomplished with some kind of rationality. We do not know what the motive could be, but there are a surprising number of highly effective leaders in the conservative/libertarian field who have been joining the Obama dead pool, from Bloomberg on. I’d say that NRA president Wayne LaPierre has something to worry about.
IS Routh being paid to do the dirty and cop an insanity plea? A lot of Islamofascists wanted Chris dead.This is not
a business-as-usual murder. Should we ask the Mossad? LOL.
Rumor has it that there will be or is a bill in Congress to mandate that every state report all mental health information to the NCIC. Interesting approach.
Well, people are killed for less; Air Jordan’s, team jackets, warmup suits, $35 from a convenience store register, etc, etc, etc.
“If true”
The “if true” was followed by disclaimer. I didn’t doubt it at all and stated my dislike for the freak.The guy fits in there with the preacher from Kansas protesting at vet funerals
I am a firearms instructor, and would not trust anyone with a gun in their hand or on their person. I believe this American hero would feel the same. Something STINKS.
RIP Chris Kyle, and prayers for your family
