I'm no expert on Sociopaths but if ICA isn't one, then I'd like to know who is.
I had a boss that was very much a sociopath and had been label that by many in authority. He was by far the scariest person I've ever come in contact with in my entire 48 years of life. The world just isn't big enough to put a comfortable distance between him and the rest of us.
There are many who operate just like ICA. The difference is that until they go and do something this extreme, when you come across one, you just feel something is off and try to avoid them at all cost. Simply put, they are the type of people that repel the rest of us. We've all met them..........they are friends, family, co-workers, ahem- bosses, Corporate Execs, etc............they operate in the gray area. Would steal your last dime, lie to your face, robbed your house when you ask them to house sit and then make up elaborate stories how it was some intruder, etc. They have no idea where their rights end and yours begins. In fact, they don't recognize your rights at all.
They mostly fly under the radar other than with those who have direct contact with them, UNTIL, they do something like what ICA is 'accused' of doing. Then and only then are they exposed. Something that they HATE, by the way.
I'd safely say that ICA is not just a troubled young girl with a lying issue, stealing issue, murdering issue,- I'd say she is a dangerous person who's crimes continued to escalate all the way to murder and she's been honing her skills from early on in life and if let out today, she'd do exactly the same thing only this time would TRY not to get caught. She'd fail, but that's the narcissist in her that believes that the only reason she is where she is today is due to poor planning, not that she didn't have the right to do what she did. Next time, she would bury her daughter so far out that NO ONE would find her. EVER. That is the only hiccup in her master plan. She was very confident until they found the remains.
Now she is being led by a sense of false security instilled in her by another narcissist (or two). I'm sitting back waiting for the balloon to deflate. But not to worry, ICA's anti-social personality will drive her for the next 20 years with elaborate twists and turns on how to get her self out of this little dilemma al la Diane Downs. We'll see the same ramblings from CA and ICA while they twist their ways through the appeals process.
