In his book, BPD Detective Supervisor Robert Whitson repeatedly asks, "What kind of person kidnapped, tortured, sexually assaulted and murdered JonBenét Ramsey?"
On page 107, he compares the killer to a dog, and I really like the analogy made.
He talked about walking with his dogs in a field and having them go off running after rabbits. His calling them back didn't bring them back under his control and they clearly paid no attention to the fact that cars on a nearby road might put them in danger. Whitson pointed out that this was "part if their behavior - their basic instinct - their prey drive..." snip ... "the way their minds were programmed."
He goes on to say "the sex drive is an extremely powerful emotion - a basic instinct." But when a "sadistic psychopath becomes focused on sex and having the opportunity to completely dominate another person, he gets tunnel vision, just like a dog chasing a rabbit. He does not think about anything else. He does not think about the consequences of his actions. He knows his behavior is wrong but he does not care."
I honestly can't imagine anyone not understanding that what they were doing to JonBenét the night she died was wrong. The man who did that to her just didn't care because he was satisfying his own desires, as he likely had before and since.
