He knew who she was.
Not many housewives make that kind of enemy.
It's not about her. Killer's rage is directed towards someone else.
I agree. The stab wounds were brutal but impersonal, clustered well away from her face.
So he knew who she was, but it wasn't about her? And he sliced her up, but it wasn't directed at her?... Hey, I'm just trying to keep up.
How could anyone abandon a child? But millions of people do it. Millions. God, it's scary. We have home after home filled with kids like James. And we know they'll turn violent. How do I tell the survivors that no one saw it coming? They're out there, Frank.
Thousand points of darkness.
People full of holes. Like James. Living off the fantasy that his mother will somehow make everything better. Frank?
It doesn't make any sense. James never gave up. He never stopped looking.
It was fantasy.
So, what we have here is a guy that goes to funerals for fun and kills people.
Plus carves them up.
Does Social Service have a name for that?
He's a classic lost child. And there's an army of them just like him... Put up for adoption at one and a half. Never placed... In and out of foster care, reform school, abuse. He essentially raised himself.
Then he didn't do a very good job.
They never do. No one showed him how to connect with the world. Odd as this may sound, going to funerals is his attempt.
Attempt at what?
Finding human contact. Family.
Family? Please!
Read his diary... Decide for yourself... but I'm telling you, at some level, he wants what we all have.
He wants to destroy what we have.
I read once the first two weeks of a kitten's life seal its fate. If it has human contact... it's domestic. If it doesn't... it goes feral.
Tough room.
You've got to let him see his wife.
I'm not jerking him around here. She was cut up... viciously. All the evidence is under wraps until I get my game plan in order.
It won't be real to him until he sees the body.
I seriously doubt that that's the way he wants to remember his wife.
Then don't expect his cooperation. It would help to have him on your side.
Oh, I could definitely stand to have someone on my side.
Maybe someone else should have picked up the phone when you called our house this morning.
You should have waited for us, damn it.
She'd be dead now.
He should have waited. You tell him.
I know... I know you had to go in there... Because of who you are... Because you had no choice. Frank... I can't lose you.
I'm not going anywhere.
Promise me? I don't want to ask myself 'am I strong enough to be alone?'
It's okay. Nobody is.
