I mean sociopath. There's a film called The Vanishing. It's by a Dutch film producer (don't waste your time with the US version) and portrays the sociopath that I mean. The psychopath is typically publically violent, not a man in power. Men in power can be sociopaths. They are cruel, but they succeed in management. I think the perp here is a sociopath that conducts a normal life around his obsession with torturing victims.
Sociopath and psychopath were put under the same umbrella of antisocial personality disorder about 15 years ago, but in my mind, they are still separate.
Well, at least the separation thing is a good thing. My problem is, a psychopath is fueled by rage and an feeling of entitlement while the sociopath is just emotionally distanced and has no emotional understanding of social behavior. So in a way,
psychopath=sociopath+rage.
The reason, why I thought, you meant actually psychopath is, those murders indicate underlying rage. Which is quite not the sociopath's but the psychopath's trait.
A position of power and authoriity does not mean that LI is his primary home, only that he has ties to the area ... just like he apparently has ties to NYC.
My problem is, to imagine, how would someone come in such a position if he is NOT there all the time. He would have to stay in the area just to keep up that position. So to me, being 8-9 months of the year not there and a position like that sounds contradictory.
I suggest that he moved the murders close to home only for a short time, and the last body to be discovered - 1-300 yards from the road - was an urgent decision, not a planeed one. I think he got too close to being caught more than once. I think he enoys a bohemian lifestyle.
What indicates to you, Amber Lynn Costello's murder wasn't planned? There are no differences as far as I followed the media. She was dropped there the same way as the other three, wrapped in burlap, about the same distance from the road. Unless you want to inject Shannan Gilbert here, but then you are in the wrong thread and we can ask a mod to move your posts in the SG threads.
