Familiarity with Forensic Psychology

The murderer is well-versed in forensic psychology, which makes him particularly dangerous. He is likely someone who either works in the field or has studied it extensively. His expertise allows him to manipulate not only his victims but also investigations, staying one step ahead of law enforcement.

He may have published papers or conducted research in obscure psychological journals, using his credentials as a veneer of legitimacy. However, his work is dismissed by mainstream professionals due to its extreme nature.

Need for Control

His victims are carefully selected, possibly vulnerable individuals he can easily dominate. He feeds on their submission, using their compliance as proof of his superiority. The moment they break under his will, he feels his "research" is complete.
