All MOO-
I can’t help but to keep wondering what the motive here was.
I’ve thought about this a great deal over the last week.
Was he just born a brutal murderer or did he do it just to see if he could after getting caught up and obsessed with murderers and killing through his research and decide he wanted to kill others from this? Was it mental illness triggered? Was it obsession based on envy? Did childhood and years of bullying play a part to knock him over the edge?
I’m interested to hear what others think motive is.
Me personally, after hearing more about him over the last week…. I’m curious if these brutal senseless murders were research and career based.
I know it sounds crazy but hear me out.
As we all know he went to Desales for undergrad and one of his teachers was famed author and expert Katherine Ramsland.
We know from interviews with friends he seems to have struggled to fit in and was bullied often and struggled socially.
He was proud of his intelligence.
Proud of his research and career plans. Took this very seriously.
What if he studied what launched Dr. Ramsland career and success. Was envious of her success and wanted to be just like her. She is respected in both academia and in the public for her expertise in criminology and knowledge of the mind of murderers and serial killers. Has worked first hand with some of the worlds most famous killers and researched and written about them.
Again, hear me out. MOO.
What if motive for BK is fast track fame and respect from peers, criminology academia and the world for his research and help in investigating the high profile brutal murder of 4 young college students.
What if he did this to become the expert on the case? No one could put the pieces together better than the man who committed the mirders.
No one could frame someone better than the person who committed the murders.
No one benefits from knowledge and expertise of these types of murders than a criminology PhD students who is striving to achieve the level of respect and admiration as his former professor. After years of bullying and lack of confidence.
Committing these murders and eventually working himself into the research of them could fast track his career goals. Help him achieve the respect and admiration he so badly desires.
Maybe after committing the murders he realized he forgot some important factors with his mistakes which led to his ultimate capture. But also made it impossible for him to insert himself in the case and research it to become the local case criminologist expert….
I know it sounds far fetched… but when trying to consider a reason for motive that could benefit him in any way… (leaving out the possibility he did it purely because he lacks a conscience and had a desire to kill for no reason, which is still highly possible)…
But something about him… tells me he did this for a reason.
Most murders do not start off with a quadruple homicide. Mass murderers wanting recognition yes.
So why wouldn’t he start off with just one person? If indeed he did it with just a desire to kill based off his obsession turned desire for murder?
For me there has to be something to the fact he started off with such a large scale brutal murder. (My feelings will change significantly if we learn this wasn’t his first time killing someone) but for now… with only knowledge of these being his first time killing… I cannot help to wonder why? Why so many people at once?
It will be interesting to find out what that reason was.
Please share your thoughts. Am I overthinking it, reaching too hard?
