Thank you for your reply.
I don't know why the thought of him being a meth user terrifies me to death but it does.
Maybe it is because we have learned from the Holly Bobo case how extremely violent, cruel, and sadistic some meth users can be.
To know he had Bella alive from 11:30pm until probably 2:30am at least is heartbreaking to even have to think about.
IMO
Yes oceanblueeyes, Holly Bobo's case and many, many others... There is one common denominator that comes up in virtually every sexual predator/serial killer case that I have researched since the 1980s(CA Speed Freak Killers); 'Meth'...either directly or indirectly... Meth increases labido and imo, long term use/abuse creates psychopathic personalities... From Pastors to Politicians, seems no one is excluded. Meth seems to be the catalyst for psychopaths to act out their fantasies, and create new psychopathic tendencies in otherwise normal personalities..jmo

The same reward system in the brain that hooks people to drugs might also explain why some people act like psychopaths.
We know that cold-blooded criminals lack empathy and fear — and are, by societal standards, a bit odd. But new research shows that it is not the traits that psychopaths lack that make them behave badly, it’s the traits that they do have. Not only are psychopaths impulsive, they like to take risks and seek out rewards.
So-called psychopathic traits have been linked to a disruption in the dopamine reward circuitry in the brain. And it is this disruption that drives psychopaths to want money, sex, or fame, in extreme ways.
Psycopaths (now often coyly
labelled sociopaths) are the only real persons, places, things, in
their world. The rest of us are figments of their imagination, in
effect, to be manipulated and used in anyway appropriate and
convenient to their needs. If they believe it to be ultimately useful
to their purposes to be kind and generous and considerate towards
someone, they will -- without limit, if helpful to their ends -- or
if they believe it to be more convenient to destroy someone, they
will. There is no such thing as truth or lies external to them --
which explains why such persons can readily pass lie detector tests,
for example.
A quasi-religious psychiatrist I knew said they were born without
souls. A philosopher long ago came to literally believe that there
are people in this world who are actually not really human beings,
but who absolutely emulate the real thing and are basically
impossible to recognize as non-human. I think he was trying to
explain the psychopath.
