Mind of a Thrill Killer

By Cary Allen Stone

A thrill killing is a premeditated murder motivated by the excitement of the act of killing itself. The killers, usually young males who feel insecure, seek to make their victims suffer to enhance their own feeling of dominance. Sadism, torture, degradation, and rape are common in the killings. Thrill killers often target a victim with particular physical traits. Jared Hamilton, a certified genius in sciences and math, struggled with feelings of inadequacy. He spent his time isolated in his parents' mansion, surrounded by computers and experiments, until he read about Julie Powers and the murders she committed. Lori inspired Jared to explore what it felt like to kill. In his life, he felt nothing, so he decided to see if killing would make him feel something. Jared's first victims were his wealthy mother and father. He loved them for everything they had given him, but they were easy targets, asleep in their bedroom. Jared knew that if he played the grieving son, he could observe the investigators' procedures. He was captivated when Detective Jake Roberts arrived to lead the investigation. After all, it was Jake who had captured Lori Powers. Some serial killers hide in the dark, and some stand right beside you...
