I shared an office with someone who killed her children. This case is hard for me because of some similarities, so I am not sure if I can't be biased. This young woman was also meticulous and clearly had some issues, like histrionics...and later to be found she had Bi-polar and was in psychosis. The table cleaning was a prelude.
...but the thing is she threw everything in the trash. I mean everything that was left on the conference table, including inmate records, etc. She would grab records and make them into a ball and put them in the trash w/o a care.
When the children were reported missing, she claimed abduction. A few days later, she was arrested, and sure enough the children's remains were in the trash. I kept thinking that..only because that was her behavior and her M.O. on a daily basis. Once a perp is profiled, it is much easier to take a good guess due to the behavior and their comfort levels. She wanted everything clean, regardless of its importance. That table had to be immaculate. AS she was with the obsession with the table, she was the same with the two children. When she was done, they went in the trash. She committed suicide in her cell.
It is hard for me to separate this experience from DB. I should be able to do so, but it keeps haunting me. I guess if I didn't see how tidy Db kept that house, I wouldn't think of the experience that I had with my team member.
