I think I've said this before, but my own opinion/theory is that miss-leaders was his cutesy (gross) name for drivers, pimps, etc. - people who "lead" the "misses" around. I think he was reminding himself to be careful not to choose victims who worked with others, as those others might have details about him that could be shared with law enforcement, and would notice when his victims went missing. No real evidence I can point to, it just seems like the sort of smug not joke he would use based on that one interview. I thought he was just a bad speller, but someone else pointed out that his spelling of organized/disorganized might come from Taxi Driver and it got me thinking.
I actually kind of think Amber Costello was not a planned victim, but he decided to target her because he was angry. He made a lot of mistakes in her abduction, and frankly if law enforcement had been doing their job and following up on the description of him and his truck, they might have caught him then. Maybe not, it's impossible to know how/if things would play out differently, but he was pretty careful most of the time, but left so many clues in Amber's case.
yeah I imagine he was pissed at her and her 'boyfriend' who tricked him
