[Loretta]
The crimes themselves are insane. He ransacks the apartments
but doesn't take anything. He leaves his victims posed
with a bizarre air of ceremony, each left with a decorative garrote
around her neck. In every case,
there is no evidence left behind, no clue as to how he selects his victims. He seems to come and go as he pleases,
committing his crimes in broad daylight. [professor]
It's highly organized behavior. Probably escalated over time,
and now he's lost control
