Yeah, this definitely is emboldening him. But he's also likely getting a thrill from it. Thrill-seeking and a need for stimulation is a big trait that is seen in serial killers. I think part of his thrill-seeking is evident in the research and the planning phases of his killings. At least that's how it seems.

It's something that he's been doing since he was a child and continues to do after each killing. He continues to research how to do it differently. He finds new ways to kill, new tactics to use. But his methods are remaining the same in that he continues to target vulnerable sex workers.

I think for Joel, as I touched on briefly, his thrill is also motivated by the fact that he feels he is doing these killings, quote, right in his eyes. It's giving him a sense of being successful. And as we have established, living up to the expectations of his father and excelling at literally anything was a core value in the home.

So perhaps to Joel, he finally feels he has met that in this very depraved way. Since he's getting psychological gratification as a result and continues to remain undetected, we can definitely expect to see an increase in frequency.

This is a deviation from his normal methods because there's no second location and no sexual intercourse, at least from what you've shared. And it happens after a few months of resisting.

Joel definitely exhibited quick thinking here and very little reaction given what he had just did and then encountering the police. So why is that? There are a couple reasons here. Joel has been somewhat habituated to violence since he was a child, starting with his interest in the movie Frenzy and his research into serial killers.

Additionally, he has engaged in several depraved acts that he has expressed very little emotional reaction to, So his emotional range is very limited as it is. There are also some potential biological causes for this. Individuals with psychopathy or sociopathy have reduced connections in the brain, particularly in the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala.

The amygdala is where the fight or flight response is, which is where anxiety, fear, and empathy are. So it's more likely than not that it's a combination of psychological and biological causes for why he's quick thinking, but also not very reactionary. I think most of us, when we walk back to our car and see police there, are going to have a bit of an anxiety reaction to that.
