That is disgusting. Mark is disgusting. Imo.
My thoughts were that the photos were of a criminal nature --as in an illegal liaison , or pics of a crime being committed.
Hard to believe a person could possibly kill over this, though.
Maybe --if MR murdered Dylan-- the sole purpose was to hurt his ex ?
:moo:
So this is how I see these types in my mind, with the caveat that I am not an actual expert in anything.
Yes, I think revenge on EH was part of it. But if the photos were part of the impetus of this rage I think that is its own motivation. EH reports MR is very controlling. I think that's common with certain types. Seems like there is often a vice at the center, and then an "alter ego" that is created to project the opposite of the vice and kind of provide cover so that behavior can continue. Think of Jerry Sandusky, a child predator crafting an image of hero to children, or an officer sworn to protect and serve who beats his wife, or a televangelist who brands himself as a moral leader, but has serial affairs. Maintaining the alter ego takes a lot of work, and people in the abusive person's life are merely props at their disposal to make sure the show still goes on.
So under my crackpot theory, MR's alter ego is Mr. All-American, who every guy wants to have a beer with, and who every woman finds desirable and says "I wish my guy were more like that." That's the fantasy. MR's first family stopped playing along, but he managed to make a new family with EH. But then EH stopped playing her part, and then Cory, and only Dylan was left. So I think it's a combination of MR seeing Dylan siding with EH who MR kind of considers his mortal enemy at that point, and Dylan being the last actor left in the alter-ego charade. So an argument like what has been proposed with Dylan would probably have been seen by MR as 1) ultimate victory for EH, 2) a threat to his fantasy 3) exposure of his vice, 4) proof of his impotency in that he'd lost all control over the actors in his carefully managed production.
I could be wrong. Who knows? Maybe he's just a really mean drunk.
