^ Book could be good. It is an interesting story.
Tried watching the doc about him twice and his braggadocious personality just irritated the hell out of me - it's great in fiction but irl it's a slightly pathetic and boring experience to observe these guys drone on about their toughness.
Sociopaths do carry on like toddlers tbf.
He did say he had serious issues with his violent father and just projected that angst on to all his hits - well, as the old adage goes, find what you love and do it for the rest of your life.
Edward Wayne Edwards is interesting. Presents as a psychopath.
No insight into what he's done, no empathy. Just consciousless instrumental aggression. The attitude and behaviour always comes across as more surreal than the violent sociopath.
Lacking the physiological ability to empathise or have any ethical insight into themselves or others; they're literally neurologically disabled, appearing more neurotypical than even an average neurotypical.
Last year, J. Cameron; ex-profiler, was purporting that Edwards was the Zodiac (along with every other unidentified high-profile, serial killer/psychopath since the Black Dahlia), this brought him into the web-limelight
Nevertheless, his life-course con-artistry and murdering are interesting, amusing and disturbing; how he featured on game shows (like Alcala), found religion and wrote a book about his conversion to the 'clean life' and baited a vulnerable kid, he had fostered, to his death. His daughter was the one who finally reported him to the police.
Yeah, I watched that a few years back. Dahmer doesn't seem like a violent necrophile.
haha, I seriously don't know what a violent necrophile behaves like but you'd think they'd at least have that 'Screamin' Jay Hawkins' type look, eh?
BTK is an interesting one. He just couldn't resist taunting the police.
From what I read he was convinced that he was caught after his first murder and when he wasn't, it just tickled him pink!
