If the ransom figure was supposed to be an insult then wouldn't it be less than $118,000, and why the extra 18,000?
$118,000 is a significant value, a "bonus" payout to an already-rich fat cat. The perp not only attempted to lessen the value of the R's prize child but he also attempted to lessen the value of the "bonus" given to a rich, fat cat.
Would JR trade that $118,000 for his "kidnapped" daughter? How greedy is JR? A taunt. "Hell. I really don't want your measley $118,000 JR, your daughter's already dead."
The more often I think about this crime and the RN, the further I develop on the image of the perp. I could be way off in the direction it leads me but at least I'm attempting to complete a profile and mindset. It's creeping me out a bit but it's helping me to attach the crime to a "virtual" perp.
For instance, note the garrote-style asphyxiation device. It appears to be designed for use on the self .. the noose would release when the user achieves the asphyxiation point of passing out during masturbation / orgasm: noose releases, user then able to breathe normally and regain consciousness. The perp wanted his victim to feel that "rush" .. a sexual empathy with the victim, perhaps?
The problem is, there is no (publicized) list of suspects to which to apply a profile.
