In reply to the discussion: It was a "thrill-killing" [View all]Control-Z

Yeah I saw it too. But I had already come to the same conclusions. Imo, he planned and waited patiently for the perfect conditions, out every night, armed for that moment. He may have had conversations with himself, knowing he shouldn't but unable to stop himself. Probably told himself it was just another test run, unless the conditions were perfect.
And the comment he wanted passed on to his wife. Paraphrasing, "Tell her I just shot a guy". Like he'd been on a hunting trip. No, "oh my gawd, what have I done". No tears or remorse. Not even, "I was attacked. He tried to kill me. I had to shoot the guy."
Sick, sick, sick. Have you seen the movie Mr. Brooks?

Nowhere in your all knowing post did you state that you were voicing an "opinion".

Thrill-killing absolutely nails it. It expalins why that POS wasn't moved by his victims screams.
