Thanks for this perspective, it seems to make sense of Holt's possible motives and frame of mind. Holt seems to fit this description to a "T" and maybe was "suppressed" by the women in his immediate circle maybe "pressuring him or encouraging him", and Holt took their comments, as negative about him. Just go back to the "head clearing comments" Holt made when his newlywed wife asked him about his work...Amanda Holt has said " her husband keeps things bottled up, never knowing how he's feeling about something".... Either way he sounds like a wimp who can't "man up" . Holt used WH and took out on her his his "suppressed", tormented feelings. Holt likely wanted to "wear the pants, be in control" and friendly, free spirited, open minded, open hearted Whitney was his trophy.
And Holt's mind was warped in a delusional world of all things *advertiser censored*. He would'nt hurt/assault his wife Amanda at the "home base", but all other women he felt attractive were likely "fair game " for his fantasies. This theory makes a lot of sense. Thanks so much for posting this article.
I won't go into too much detail, but in my opinion JH might have similarities to the
Anger Retaliatory Rapist
1 - (Link 1 -Profiling Violent Crimes /An Investigative Tool Holmes/Holmes Page 159) This rapist tends to go in 6 months to 1 to 2 year cycles, where the other categories tend to be shorter. (Possibly the July 2011 event where he took off was his first encounter, when his wife asked about a job and he got mad and stole his friends car to clear his head?) Over a year later the WH event occurs. The box chart also mentions Little Planning and use of weapons of opportunity. Thus the messy crime scene and a gun he had from two months before he moved into the apartment building.
2- (Link 2-The Psychology of Serial Killer Investigations/Robert Keppel/Birnes Page 155) The rape is planned and the murder involves Overkill! The rapist-murderer may not direct his anger toward a spouse, mother or female supervisor, but may take this anger out on a substitute victim whom he has sought out. Victims are usually same age group and race and often in the same neighborhood. The perpetrator tends to select victims from familiar areas. Sometimes choosing victims that remind them of the spouse or parent that has angered them.
3- Forced Oral Sex (used as intimidation and possibly because the rapist has a tendency of retarded ejaculation or because it is an act of anger, can not perform other acts of rape without the forced arousal)
4- Link 1 -Page 158 May work in an action orientated occupation (JH was certified to work as an EMT) , quick violent temper, is likely married and like many rapists are not assaultive toward their mate. His acts of rape tend to follow precipitating events involving his wife.
Starting on page 158(scroll up one page) this gives a brief account (not all pages might be there/google books)

LE posted in the affidavit about surveillance LE watching Holt ditch ammo and guns. No official mention of fingerprints on bullets/guns (though likely) and no official record that I've read at least of gunpowder residue (which would be less likely even if he were found to be guilty, as he wasn't arrested until three days after the crime).

But, from what I gathered, IF the shooter washed his hands with soap and water, or put his hands in his pockets a number of times, there was no residue left on the skin. Even running water for 3 seconds could remove the residue. And an alternative study showed degradation of residue on the skin even without that interference. The residue left on cloth, however, stood a better chance of being there over a period of days:
