One thing that's been on mind about Kyle is that he doesn't seem to fit the bill for such a heinous crime. We usually see a progression of events leading up to a murder and sexual assault of this magnitude. If not, we usually see a trigger event (more often with angry coworker type murders).
I expected other victims to come forward. I hope he is just atypical, and not that he has victimized others but they were too young to speak for themselves.
I really don't believe there is a sure way to know who will become a pedophile when based on their history or lack of. Pedophiles and their background history are as individual as the pedophiles themselves.
It is like with all murderers or pedophiles and there is
always a first time for each of them. So maybe this was his first act of kidnapping, rape, and murder where he actually acted out his sexual deviant fantasies he most likely had for many years.
However; he very easily could have molested other small children even infants of family members and the child/children may have been too young to tell anyone. Just because some pedophiles are finally caught it doesn't mean it was the first time doing it but only the first time they have been caught. Of course it also could be their first rape and murder. I remember when the pedophile, David Westerfield, kidnapped, raped, and murdered little Danielle Van Dam, he had no criminal history whatsoever but instead had been greatly admired and respected in his own community. He hid behind that false persona. It did come to light that one time he had touched one of his nieces inappropriately as she lay sleeping and this was before he became a pedophile murderer. But other than that he remained undetected until he did the ultimate acts of rape and murder of an innocent little child. Other pedophiles like DW also were like him with no criminal background of violence or violent acts against a child.
I think what will be the most telling is if he owns a computer and what will be found on that computer during a forensic computer search. I wouldn't be shocked in the least if he has loads of kiddie




on it. He may have been thinking about doing this for a very long time. That may be why he tried to pass himself off as liking little children and the more he held Shaylin the more comfortable she would be if he picked her up and took her out of the home. Imo, he was grooming all of the family including little Shaylin to gain their trust and hers. Typical MO for a pedophile.
I do think he fits the profile of someone who would eventually do this and I think the alcohol addiction brought out his lust for little children even more so. With alcohol it gave him courage to do what he had always dreamed of doing.
There are countless children every year who are being raped repeatedly in their homes either by their biological mother or father. Those pedophile predators often go undetected and many of these parents have no recorded violent history or any criminal history at all. They keep their violent and sadistic acts a secret behind closed doors with the child/children they continuously prey upon whether it is grossly neglecting them to horrifically abusing them in all ways until they windup murdering their child and then their years long secrets are finally exposed.
So I am not sure there is any way to say who really fits the profile of a predator pedophile and who does not. JMO though.
Unfortunately for little children pedophiles come from all walks of life from the very upscale families to the poorest. Pedophiles can be doctors, lawyers, be upper class or middle class or be very poor. No matter where the children live or who they live with it doesn't immune them from the pedophiles who will or are preying on them.
