1stly, my condolences to everyone close to the victim.

is it most likely that the perp was simply crazy?

if so, is it unlikely that someone that knew the perp would not have known just how dangerous he potentially was? or, do these perps simply "snap" one day during lunch?

or, do these perps walk amongst us for years plotting their crimes?


i am usually largely less affected by the high-profile cases than by tragedies that strike closer to home, but seeing the images of the girl being abducted was very chilling.
