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.

More from WFAA Suspect in shooting range murders threatened to kill self, family in 2012:

According to the affidavit, Eddie Routh, 25, was transported to Green Oaks Psychiatric Hospital for a mental evaluation on September 2, 2012.

On that day, Jodi Routh, Eddie's mother, called police out to her residence in the 200 block of W. Sixth St. in Lancaster. She told police her son became argumentative and threatened to "blow his brains out" after his father said he was going to sell his gun.

Odd why not just car jack someone you did not know
and a Navy Seal at that. Maybe he gave the response he was told to give.

This is starting to look a little fishy, and that’s compared to how fishy it looked at first. “I traded my soul for a truck”? Who talks like that? Who thinks about committing double murder and getting to keep the guy’s truck as spoils of war?

If true (not flaming you) it was very inappropriate. I’ve never been a fan of Ron Paul, going back to the 1970’s living in Houston. He has a way of taking things he says and believes that make sense, make no sense at all

Take a twister-offer on a field trip to a gun range.

What could possibly go wrong?

Exactly. Doubt very much that he killed for the truck. Sounds like a fatalistic/sarcastic remark to me.
