ITA that there has to be a reason for the ambush, but I also think it possible that it would be hard for someone to understand other than the perp.
- I grew up without parents and I resent anyone that has ones that love them.
- I grew up with parents, but for whatever reason I was emotionally unattached to them and felt no remorse by killing Denise and James.
- I grew up with parents, but for whatever reason I hated mine and felt no remorse by killing Denise and James.
- I have a previous history where I liked a young girl and one of her parents ‘caught’ me. I am not going to let that happen again.
- etc.
These only make sense if the target was Jayme. After reading thirty plus threads here, I also now am open to a lot of the possibilities raised by other sleuthers here - for example, the target was one of the parents, and that part of the ambush was planned, but Jayme being present somehow messed things up - like, the perp couldn’t risk Jayme identifying him/her. Or, the perp ran out of time due to the 911. Or the perp ran out of ammo. Etc.
moo.
