Imo, it's simple: For these narcissistic killers, appearance is everything. How people view them is seriously important. A dad who abandons his wife and child is a creep. A poor father who lost his son in a horrible but forgive able accident? Much different.
The life of the child, the suffering of the baby, is simply incidental to his own needs and unimportant.
^^^^^ this!

"Narcissists are said to be dependent on other people. Without others to provide them with their narcissistic supply, they may feel like they are being 'mentally disembowelled'. It is supposedly horrific for them, worse than dying."
"Therefore they need a constant supply and will do whatever it takes to maintain it."
"Remember that someone with narcissistic personality disorder has no empathy for others so it is of no consequence to them how much damage they to the source of their supply."
"If a 'source' of narcissistic supply can give no more, the narcissist moves on. Often they will have started on the next victim before the previous one is totally exhausted."
"It's not surprising that they often don't work much or change jobs frequently. Their attitude is 'Why should I work when I can get them to provide me with everything I want. And besides, I deserve it all!'"
I believe LH was done with his behavior. She called him out on his behavior and put her foot down. He struck back.
RH said he had recently taken over the bills.
He was explaining why he charged $4000 . Why did he feel the need to explain a credit card balance to the police?
IMO they were in dire financial trouble.
It was absolutely his plan to have lil Cooper die on accident. Then he would get the attention of all his friends, family, coworkers and even strangers. He would leave Leanna and collect the insurance himself because he was so traumatized that their worse nightmare happened "to him"
He probably knew HD would cover the funeral. I am certain they have covered funerals for employees children before.
He would collect $ from donations and LH would be left hold the dirty end of the stick. Being the one with the job and credit,I bet most of what they own is in her name...as well as all the bills.
She was trying to force him to be a responsible father. All he wanted was more $ and more attention.
How's that working for ya RH?[emoji600]
