That's an fascinating question about whether BK will want or need to be understood. I have always wondered what makes the difference between someone who wants or needs their crimes to be "understood" versus killers who don't care at all about that.
The other day, I caught the tail end of a program on ID. The confessed killer was suspected of more murders, but they didn't have the evidence to charge him for those. The guy's wife had stood by him through it all. He said he wanted to talk to the FBI's profilers and psychologists to understand why he did the things he did. The detectives told him the FBI wouldn't the interested in him because he was not a serial killer. They said he sat there a minute, looked at his wife, then proceeded to confess to the other murders so the FBI would talk to him! Blew my mind at first, but I was very impressed that the detectives recognized a need of his that they could exploit.
Wow, great use of very basic reverse psychology there by detectives!
Also, possibly true... nobody at the FBI really interested in your 'special and different' psychology dude, not here to facilitate your greater understanding of yourself, tell it to a therapist or priest or something.
