Are there similar overkill hostage ransom cases? What is the profile of someone who would be this brutal and focus on the son? I still think AS could easily have been the focus? Why didn't perps rape and torture her? People keep saying PS was better leverage but I disagree. I think they are pretty equal so why the child? Did he accuse someone of molesting him recently?
IMO, this was not a true ransom case where a dispassionate observer chooses to kidnap someone, take them to a secret location and try to extort money. IMO, the killer did not focus on PS except as a means to an end. AND, we don't know whether AS was raped or not. I'd be surprised if that didn't happen. I believe the true source of the anger was SS. What was reported about PS, I believe that was shown to SS and AS. I believe that the killer did what he did to AS with the sword that belonged to SS. And took great pleasure in SS being there to watch it happen. A profiler stated that the killer took pride in what he was doing. I believe that, no question.
