The way I see it though is that if MR had the urge to abduct, rape and murder someone, he could have done that very easily by himself. But from all of the months of sleuthing him, I never got the impression that he had it in him to murder someone. He seemed to be a bit of a "wimp" for lack of a better word, and I don’t think he thought of himself as capable of killing someone. I know I never thought him capable, sexual deviant yes, murderer no, which is why it didn’t surprise me one bit when TLM recanted and said that she had killed Victoria. In fact, it made perfect sense to me.
I think his "issues" were/are sexual. I think he was always looking for the "thrill", a new level of arousal because there was something that just wasn‘t “doing it for him“ in normal relationships. We've heard that from many of the women who either posted here or were quoted in the media about various risky or violent requests either before or during sexual relations. And I think that he was struggling with his own demons of just what his "preference" was when it came to sexual encounters. It has been touched on here that he may have seemed "effeminate" or homosexual. Perhaps his demon was that he was actually desiring young children.
So if his ultimate fantasy was to have sex with a young child, he had a problem in that he would also have to murder that child in order not to be "caught". Or he could try to incorporate himself into their lives by living with their mothers. I’m not aware of him actually living with any single mothers with young children for any length of time and I’m not sure how many he “dated” and of that number how many may have kicked him to the curb early on for a variety of reasons, most of them revolving around him being "off" or clingy that have also been touched on here. So the other option was to abduct a random child, a stranger. And it would be very difficult to abduct a young child as an adult male. People are very wary of strange men approaching young children, especially female children, in all situations, but not so much about teenage girls approaching them. If he himself he tried to abduct Victoria in the manner in which it was done, I have no doubt that it would have been unsuccessful. And then there was the problem of what to do with the child after the sexual assault was accomplished.
So enter TLM. A self confessed drug addict and tough talking gangsta, with apparently no issues about harming and/or killing people as noted in her journals/letters, who was enamoured with him. At the time of their meeting, TLM was pretty much dead inside herself and didn't have much respect for either herself or the rest of the human race. Going from day to day just surviving and pumping as much drugs into her system to get through the day as money and supply would provide. I've indicated before that I believe this was a well discussed plan between the two of them. And the trips to single women's homes were the work up to the suggestion, which I don't believe TLM balked at because she was feeling some strong, unusual emotion, for her anyway, towards him and because she was pretty numb to the whole morality issue that harming and killing people was wrong since she’d seen and experienced so much violence already in her short 18 years. So he was right…she’d do anything for a little bit of love.
So now he's got a willing female accomplice who will not only take care of the actual luring of a child, but will take care of the murder of said child when his ultimate fantasy has been satisfied. Do I think that he called TLM back to the car when he was done to take care of the rest, yes I do. Do I think she was tripping out on some flashback from her youth at the time, no I don’t.
MOO
I apologize for further misleading you guys.
