Morgan, obsessional crimes are your specialty.
Well, there's two kinds of obsessional offenders that would send gifts to survivors. Sadists, who want to make the families keep reliving the crime, or guilt-laden offenders, desperately trying to find some type of way to apologize.
Sadists usually use something they know will remind the family of the person or the crime. Jewelry, newspaper clippings.
These don't look like the kind of things you would send to inflict pain on someone.
So, guilt-laden.
You know, they actually look like the kind of thing a child would send.
Okay. Well, it's rare, but an unsub who feels this much guilt sometimes commits the crime unintentionally. They tend to be developmentally disabled, extremely low IQ offender, and generally, well, they're physically large and they're very strong. Strong enough to hurt somebody accidentally.
Like Lennie in Of Mice and Men.
