Here is a snippet from the article I feel apply to McD:
Quote:
Sociopaths are intelligent but they are lacking in emotional intelligence, they show their cards and aren’t even aware of this action. They are almost dumbfounded that they have been suspected or even apprehended for committing an offense that they actually admit participation in a crime through expressive behaviors of astonishment.... Sociopath’s are caught because they sabotage themselves in a systematic fashion
In terms of McD, I do feel elements of the crime suggest a mix of organized and disorganized typology. I also don't imagine McD to be capable of the charming, socially adept behavior the psychopath mimics that makes a psychopath so successful. Something about McD alerted police to him rather quickly, prompting the search to his apartment. I don't think he expected that to take place so quickly, which is why they were able to find some incriminating items in his apartment when they searched it that Thursday. He thought he was skilled enough to insert himself into the investigation without setting off alarms in the minds of the investigators and was sorely mistaken.
Angelanalyzes,
You just inserted a piece of the missing puzzle for me. I could not figure out the 'hows and whys' that LE procured incriminating information/evidence from McD so early on, i.e.,Thursday. Especially, why would he allow LE in his apartment? Why would he admit to burglary? I am not sure how that went down, but I realize now that due to his sociopathic behaviors HE gave it away.
I am learning! Thanks!
