If you read background of these sort of people they always had some very traumatic relationship with one or both parents. Now his mother died when he was 17 and she was a very controlling individual? How did he cope with her dying and who helped him come to terms with it? If she was as controlling as the program made out, perhaps no one helped him and that trauma could be what damaged his thought processes to lead him to do what he did. Also he may not have thought he was murdering people because he wasn't physically attacking them, but using a syringe which perhaps made him think his actions were more acceptable in his warped mind.
