The same I'm thinking about the shot to her cheek. Did MM want to extinguish her special radiance once and for all?? Had she laughed too often, beaming with happiness? And he had seen it during his stalking on photos, on videos, maybe even live?

The Tepes were a very attractive couple. MM had turned into an unattractive hulk of a man. Was he jealous?

MT was beautiful and had rejected him. So her took away her beauty and her life.

He may have been sleeping on his back, received the shot in his chest, woke up enough to roll over onto his stomach and was then shot in the back. Totally speculating. JMO.

I think the back shot was just for the hell of it and he was already dead face down on the floor. MM is one angry man.

Having a gun against your cheek knowing it's going to fire and blow your face apart is absolutely terrifying. I think he wanted to terrorise her and Spencer. He is one of the few perpetrators that I feel thinks whatever happens, it was worth it. He's pure evil.

I think it's hard to ascribe a lot of purpose to the locations of the bullet wounds, especially in light of all the discussion that was had here about how the bedroom would have been dark. There were pages wondering if MM (at that time just "the murderer") would have turned on a light, did the Tepes have a night light in the room, was the killer using night vision goggles or a headlamp or holding a flashlight, etc.

It's one thing to be able to see enough in the dark to be able to discern M & S's general figures in bed in the dark and successfully shoot and kill them by aiming at broad areas---it's totally another thing to have enough visibility to be able to target very specific areas.

That and he wanted to shoot every single bullet that was in the gun. Even if the 1st shots killed them, it wasn't enough. Empty the magazine which , as you said, makes him one angry man.
