Philip Chism; a confessed killer and self professed artist, refuses to volunteerly share his motive/s for Colleen ritzer's murder.
I took a very enlightening course at a missing/murdered person conference a few years ago. It was called Illuminations, and was presented by Psychologist Allison West. They use artwork interpretation as a means of communication..
We do know that Colleen Ritzer observed Chism's art. What did she see in them?
Imo, Chism's artwork may provide answer to many of the investigator's unanswered questions.JMO

Our Mission
Illuminations
artwork creating change
about being victim
about being a victimizer.
At first sight, Illuminations is one among many organizations providing a variety of programs and programming designed to raise and deepen awareness about the victimization of children for the general public. And like other such organizations, it also provides a wide spectrum of professionals with specialized training focused on fostering and refining skills related to the field of victimization.
But it is something more and something uniquely different. Illuminations is personal. It is a voice.
It is the voice of a young man who took so long to find a voice
and then a voice that could speak the breadth of the truth of his experience
of deception, betrayal, victimization and ironically of beauty, innocence, and an imagination which gives birth to hope. His critically acclaimed art, which lies at the heart of Illuminations, is his voice, his truth. All of the events and programs which Illuminations makes available to the public and to the professional community are based upon and make critical use of his important artwork and become the framework for his voice.
And yet, as much as it is his voice that speaks, it is equally theirs
.the voices of all victims.
