Dr. Matthew Soulier

The issue of psychopathy, it's clearly something that, yes, there's probably some level of genetic predisposition to it,

But he wasn't a bad kid in preschool or kindergarten.

There's no evidence of that of any kind.

There's something that was unlocked in him.

There were forces, there were things, experiences, things that happened to him that I think made him who he was.

In his case, he developed these morbid preoccupations about death, about killing people.

But again, the thing that was important to note to me was that it was disturbing to him.

He was going around telling everybody and anybody who would listen to him

He told school.

He told a transporting police officer.

He told his therapist.

He told a psychiatrist.

He told anybody that he wanted to kill everybody.

I have these thoughts.

I don't want to have them.

Ultimately, he did act on them.

But the precursor was sadomasochistic sex, gore porn.

All these things was an attempt in my mind to...

diminished the intensity of those preoccupations.

And at first it worked.
