At the end of the day, we don't know why they killed, how they felt or if they wanted to be famous. Their actions during the time they fled Leonard Dyck's murder scene and the time they died seemed to not really prove any wish to be famous. They could have committed more crimes, they could have recorded a video and post it on Instagram, they could have start a shootout with the police. They could many things. But they didn't. They recorded some videos on Leonard's camera, that could have never been found. We don't even know if they sick with fever/ dehydration took some drugs.
I am not saying they didn't want fame. Maybe they did. But I hardly think there is enough evidence to draw any conclusion about their mental health, state of mind or intentions before, during and after the killings. We can all have opinions. We can all have certitudes. We can all be convinced that acting this way or doing that means X, Y or Z. But at the end of the day. We don't KNOW. JMO
We can say with a certain assurance that they killed random strangers for the self satisfaction it bought. Why else would they do it? . no one forced them, they were not compelled, they chose to, they actually put themselves in a risky situation to do it. Killing is a messy , dirty business, and these two young killers looked the fastidious kind, the shirt buttoned up to the neck, the clean shaven Bryer, etc.. we know they got quite close up to Lucas and Chynna because their bodies were arrayed in a particular manner. We also know they got up really close to Prof Dyck, because he was beaten and an attempt was made to burn him.
There had to be a pay off, humans are not inclined to do anything without a payoff, emotionally, intellectually, or physically. Its just the way we are. I have no idea if they wished to be famous, I don't buy into the Columbine copycat theory for one nanosecond, so their motivation is always going to be that of self satisfaction, whatever the outcome turns out to be. That they drove for a while and killed again only underlines the self satisfaction they wrung from the first two murders...
Would they have killed again as they clearly stated they intended to do? I believe so, because it was necessary to them to do this, to be this. This was their chosen path.
