there was a receipt for the Tums and whatever in KB's vehicle, FWIW- if PF really started planning to kill KB in September, why was she getting him meds at 2 a.m. ? Did he have total contempt for her, so had her do several chores before he killed her? Killers have done stranger things IMO.
Oh I think he was plotting and planning KB's murder for a long time and enjoying every minute of it.
For someone like PF, the idea that he had power over KB's life, and that he could switch it off when he wanted to must have been empowering for him, as he likely had little control over other areas of his life.
Controllers often have deep-seated issues of powerlessness.
We know PF wanted to keep his own hands clean which is why he solicited others to actually kill KB, so they could take the fall for it -- another horrible, cowardly character trait from an already cold, manipulative bully who lacks empathy and compassion.
I
do think PF had total contempt for KB -- he knew he wanted to get rid of her in a manner that empowered him (it wouldn't have been enough for him if KB found another guy and started a new life, PF wanted to call all the shots) and this was a game he was playing. He probably led KB on right until he murdered her, pretending to make up with her and giving the relationship another chance, and smirking to himself all the while knowing those scented candles were his inside joke.
He is a sick, evil creature and it must have stimulated his ego knowing that the woman he was going to kill was willing to still try to work things out because she loved him and didn't have any idea of his murderous inclinations. He obviously over-estimated himself as a "ladies man".
Idiot. I think Dan May has a lot more on this monster than we know right now, and I cannot wait to see PF stammering and sweating when he gets LWOP.
Edited to add: I'm with GK on this one. Occam's. I don't think KB was pregnant at her time of death and I do believe she was beaten to death with a baseball bat. I don't think there's any other cloak and dagger stuff going on. Simply because we all know that PF is clumsy, stupid and a poor strategist, with as much creative imagination as a horse fly.
