I absolutely agree about the thrill. I think he packaged her up and put her in different places, but made sure the identification was made early on so he could watch the shock and terror of media and social media etc. I'm wondering if he fantasized about being a renowned disgusting killer like Hannibal Lechter since he had that on his mind that day with his parents (just readily pulled it off a shelf).
My fear is that he has done something similar before, wasn't caught, angry that he didn't get attention for it, and this time he wanted to be sure he got the credit? Idk. Sounds like a movie but could be plausible. The way he responded to her mom by text, he could have just ignored it but he played into it by feigning cluelessness. It does make me wonder why on earth he's pretending to have blacked out, maybe his grandiose fantasies include getting away with it? Not confessing to see whether cops can actually gather evidence to convict?
The person who originally said he's a Dexter wannabe, I actually kind of agreed with that (another poster quickly pointed out that their motives for killing don't match, but a psycho like JC probably didn't watch it for the storyline or motives. He watched it for the secretive chopping up and packaging of body parts).
I wish I could mention a name from SM on here that I'd like to learn more about. A man who appeared on early FB posts by the news station, posting things like "he's home, he's fine, he's talked to police". FB friend of JC who showed up on several comments I saw :/
JMO, have a nice day all
