Ann Rule, the Seattle police woman who writes about serial killers, often writes about perps who have this "flat aspect," inappropriate emotion for the circumstances, or almost no emotion. Makes you wonder.

I can "see" or understand flat aspect in a "no emotion" scenario..
Someone may be trying very hard to "maintain control" in a very stressful situation..

But the inappropriate emotion, the conversational presentation, the playing to a camera, is to me, a sign of cover-up, not the stress of loss..

The boyfreind exhibited No Sense of Loss.. None..
I find that suspicious..
