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 Kyles 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.

Suspect in shooting range murders threatened to kill self, family in 2012:
The man suspected in the shooting deaths of Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield was previously taken into custody and placed in a psychiatric hospital after a 2012 incident in which he threatened to kill himself and his family, read a Lancaster police report.
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

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