'He was hunting for a place to kill them and bury them'

Authorities remove the body of Roy Ratliff near Lake Isabella, California, on Thursday.

LANCASTER, California (CNN) -- The man who abducted two teenage girls at gunpoint early Thursday was "hunting for a place to kill them" in a remote desert spot about 100 miles away when two deputies located him and fatally shot him, authorities said.

You really think I would have bothered engaging in (what has turned out to be this pointless) discussion with you if I thought that was his intent? No. In fact, I pinged him to my first response to you. But I do think you & I have gone as far as we can go trying to ascertain the motives of a third person. I'll stop now, content in the knowledge that I've managed to get attacked by both sides in this debate -- which I think is maybe a first for me. In any event, I made my views known on post #72 & I'll stick with them. Good night.

The President has my sympathy. I raised a teenage daughter and I know what they are going through. They have double trouble.

. . . Do everyone a favor, and avoid that kind of psuedo-scientific BS. . . .

Thanks for your opinion. I stand by mine.
