UNRAVELING THE ZODIAC KILLER ( PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAITS THAT FUELED HIS ELUSIVENESS)
Base on the questions people are asking about the zodiac killer, I wrote this article, you can read the first one HERE
In fact, various features attributed to this man and his crimes have been scrutinized in order to create a criminal psychological profile of the Zodiac Killer, which explain why this criminal managed to escape from the hands of the law for so long.
One big attribute would be intellect/skill, more specifically – intelligence and the capability to plan.
Indeed, the murderer could only aim at such an assault providing no direct hints, using very sophisticated codes and ciphers – that apparently proves both intelligence of the action and desire to face authorities.
This served not only as an escape from the police, but was also a deliberate way to become an active media figure and deny police, and more broadly the public, control over the narrative.
Furthermore, the Zodiac Killer is regarded as having been a narcissistic and psychopathic murderer Most of them.
His narcissism may have compelled him to go for fame attained by provoking the authorities and arrogating himself the responsibility of the criminal acts via such letters.
It is probably safe to assume that Lomer was a psychopath, which would explain his ability to murder with no feelings of guilt, and to manipulate the public to get what he wanted.
His belief that he was smarter than law enforcement and could say only what he wanted the police to hear showed the investigators how much control he indeed had.
Other a trait which has been thought to have existed is compulsive need for mastery and power.
What H was doing was to send codes, threats and demands that he wanted attention by setting the pace and kind of investigation he wanted.
This control-oriented behavior was not limited by the crimes themselves; very premeditated actions were taken to reduce risk and at the same time ensure anonymity for Lombard.
His fitness in the society could also mean he was able to split up his personality where he could emulate the ‘normal’ man without worrying of being reported to the authorities.
In_EXIST final and conclusively, intelligence, narcissism, psychopathy, and the lust for control added up to the Machinist’s portrait of a careful, self-assured, and mentally depraved man whose motives and actions did not resemble any conventional criminal models, who was able to elude police for 20 years.
