I've been studying the subject of profiling sexual murderers. I've looked over some of the material and I've chosen Dr. Richard Walter as one of the foremost experts on the subject. This is a paragraph on him from wiki:
As a psychologist in Michigan's notorious prison system, Walter had interviewed over two thousand murderers, sex-offenders and serial killers. Walter began to see common threads among offenders and was able to group all killings and sex crimes into four distinct "subtypes": power-assertive, power-reassurance, anger-retaliatory, and anger-excitation or sadism. He was the first to develop a matrix using suspect pre-crime, crime and post-crime behaviors as a tool for investigation. Walter later co-founded the Vidocq society, an exclusive organization of forensic professionals who solve cold cases for law enforcement agencies, worldwide. Together, Keppel and Walter created the HITS (Hunter Integrated Telemetry System) database, which lists characteristics of violent crimes so that common threads can be investigated. They also published a leading scholarly article for the FBI and violent crime investigators all over the world: "Profiling Killers: A Revised Classification Model for Understanding Sexual Murder".

So here is what he has to say. Basically, there are according to him FOUR types of sexual murderers. Here they are, with a description of each one:
1)
POWER-ASSERTIVE RAPE MURDERER: The power-assertive rape-murder is described as a series of acts in which the rape is planned and the murder is an unplanned response of increasing aggression to ensure control of the victim. The actions are characterized by forceful aggression and intimidation. In the power-assertive rape-murder, Dr. Walter suggests that the homicide becomes one of maintaining control over a vulnerable victim, and the killer demonstrates mastery of the situation by taking charge by the use of an assertive image and dominating violence.
2)
POWER-REASSURANCE RAPE MURDERER - This is a rape that
is planned, followed by an
unplanned death of the victim through overkill. In this type of sexual murder, Dr. Walter suggests that the killer is motivated by an “idealized seduction and conquest fantasy.” Dr. Walter points out that this type of killer expresses his sexual competence through seduction and when that fails, the murder allows the offender to regain the feeling of conquest.
3)
ANGER-RETALIATORY RAPE MURDERER - The rape is planned and the initial murder involves overkill. This type of offender murders for purposes of retaliation, getting revenge on women due to poor past relationships with women.
4)
ANGER-EXCITATION RAPE MURDERER - In this case both the rape and murder are planned for the purpose of inflicting pain and terror on the victim for personal gratification. This type of murder involves sadistic acts precipitated by highly specialized fantasies.

I am interested in anyone's input on which of these he might fit. Personally I find it difficult to classify GG, I think he could fit in more than one of these. The categories appear to overlap to me. I am leaning towards category 1. This would be with the understanding that the insurance matter is speculative and not proven yet. (I don't think it will pan out.) I really don't think the murder was planned, and that he would have loved to have had her around for the rest of the trip as his little sex toy.
I also like category 3 because Gary has a big history with anger issues towards women and I really just need more understanding of his past relationships to put him in this category. The fact it has the word "anger" in the title just fits Gary so well.
Your thoughts?
ETA: In case you didn't read one of the earlier filed reports of sexual assault on him in 2010, here is the part I could transcribe from the ABC video that showed the written report:
I prepared to leave after speaking with my daughter. Gary was angry and ordered me to stay. We drank wine and by 8 p.m., we argued about his past sexual lifestyle as a swinger. I prepared to leave again, but he pushed me into his bed where I stood near the footboard. My clothes were on and I had my period, which I told Gary. He pushed my dress up and pulled out my tampon, throwing it on the floor. We bagan to have sex. I couldn't look at him, so I turned over. He tried to have anal sex, but I protested. Then, he started to bite me - on my face, neck and breast and buttocks. I turned over to face him and he started to choke me with his bare hands. He then shoved his fingers down my throat. I was struggling and gagging.He then pushed my head onto his (?). I sat quietly and was crying. I told him that I wanted to go home. He protested, then told me to stop being a victim. He got angrier as I got my clothes on, so I huddled on the floor and kept quiet. Moments later, when he went to the bathroom, I ran out and drove home. On 4-16-10 I filled a police report in Montogomery Co. On 4-20-10 I filed assault...
