Cute blonde middle class - you keep hearing about it even after the suspect is caught.

He did it because he knew he could get away with his murders for a much longer period of time.

And he was correct, he is the most prolific serial killer of all time and his murders spanned two decades.

He was a mild-mannered, calm guy too. So effing creepy.

I won't say what that makes me think, but it certainly is not that I want to help him even more...

Before I say something intensely unethical, I'll just leave it there.
