The nature of the crimes – abduction, rape, murder (whether intended or not), and subsequent actions taken to the body suggest one of two things to me – either 1) some level of psychopathy or 2) some type of intoxication (I read in a previous article that an ex had mentioned historic drug use – cocaine, steriods, cannabis - which may be relevant).
Starting with the intoxication angle, it’s possible (especially with a stimulant) to be up all night and get up to everything he did (and to make the latter “mistakes” in his planning/lack of planning). But he still needed to be able to drive properly without drawing suspicion from others.
More likely I think we’re dealing with a level of psychopathy, which means we should not expect to see feelings of remorse, shame, empathy, or anything similar from him. I struggle to imagine it’s possible for a non-psychopathic person to go to the level that WC has admitted to – all the way up to burning a body and whatever else was done that we have not found out yet. Not every rapist is a psychopath, not every murderer is a psychopath, but to be able to do all this and then be destroying a body, without any suspicion raised from his wife or others, I wonder about this.
I have a theory that he led a separate life entirely, a secret life, and a very disturbing one that he has carefully kept hidden. Likely involving hurting and controlling women for a sexual thrill. Perhaps using the internet as a vehicle to meet random people and maintain anonymity, and/or sex workers. I suspect there are other women out there who have been physically and sexually abused by him. I don’t believe SE is the only woman who has been victimised. Family, friends, neighbours are all in shock because they only know one version of him. I think WC was leading at least two lives, with the intention that neither should involve the other on any level. Very interested to see if this is revealed eventually.
