Subject: Serial Killers, Sanity & Attention to Detail From: George.Harris@samba.acs.unc.edu (BBS Account) Date: 1990-09-17, 17:40 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks Some one commented that they think Leland wassane because he tied off Jacques' free hand before smothering him. Others disputed this conclusion. I must side with the disputers, & to find evidence to back up my claim, one need only venture as far as Gainesville, Fla. Although police there seem to have a very good idea who may have committed the series of brutal murders 2-3 weeks ago, they cannot charge anyone with the crime because (up through yesterday, @ any rate) they had NO physical evidence that a DA would take seriously. I think that anyone would con- cede that whoever committed those slayings is insane, even if he really just wanted to kill one of those students, & killed the rest so that it would seem like a psycho. A sort of motive-masking, if you were. Sorry. If you *will*. Anyway, If you want to see excellent (fictional) examples of crazy people who aren't stupid, read Red Dragon, or The Silence of the Lambs, by Thomas Harris.
