00:01:16,667 --> 00:01:17,867 the hunger. 5 00:01:26,667 --> 00:01:29,100 SAHNI: In this series, we've seen individuals 6 00:01:29,166 --> 00:01:30,000 that have engaged in terrifying acts, 7 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,367 that have engaged in terrifying acts, 8 00:01:31,367 --> 00:01:36,100 violent acts of horror -- murders, kidnapping, rape. 9 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,867 We've seen that psychopathic individuals 10 00:01:40,967 --> 00:01:42,867 look sometimes like you and me. 11 00:01:42,867 --> 00:01:43,967 They walk among us. 12 00:01:43,967 --> 00:01:45,867 They're our neighbors, they're our co-workers, 13 00:01:45,867 --> 00:01:48,367 they might even be our spouses or family members. 14 00:01:48,367 --> 00:01:52,000 Research has shown us that there are also some 15 00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:54,767 telltale signs that give us the indication 16 00:01:54,867 --> 00:01:57,367 that somebody may have psychopathic behavior. 17 00:02:17,367 --> 00:02:21,300 The reason why we need to recognize the indicators 18 00:02:21,367 --> 00:02:23,667 of psychopathy, those signs of psychopath, 19 00:02:23,767 --> 00:02:27,100 are because they are extensions of 20 00:02:27,166 --> 00:02:30,000 traits that are in all of us as human beings, 21 00:02:30,066 --> 00:02:34,166 and that when some of those traits become 22 00:02:34,266 --> 00:02:38,266 too prominent or are atrophied, 23 00:02:38,367 --> 00:02:39,967 there's not enough of it, 24 00:02:39,967 --> 00:02:42,567 that's when people get into trouble. 25 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,467 It's important to recognize them so that when we do, 26 00:02:46,467 --> 00:02:47,800 we know when we might be in danger. 27 00:02:49,266 --> 00:02:51,600 SAHNI: We'll talk about some common markers that we, 28 00:02:51,667 --> 00:02:54,867 as experts, look for to help identify an individual 29 00:02:54,867 --> 00:02:58,700 that we think is exhibiting psychopathy and that we use to 30 00:02:58,767 --> 00:03:00,000 assess their risk level for future violence. 31 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,400 assess their risk level for future violence. 32 00:03:07,567 --> 00:03:09,467 Confidence is a positive thing. 33 00:03:09,567 --> 00:03:12,166 Confidence can help us succeed in our interpersonal 34 00:03:12,166 --> 00:03:15,467 relationships, at our jobs and our school. 35 00:03:15,467 --> 00:03:19,166 But whenever it begins to escalate to a level of 36 00:03:19,266 --> 00:03:22,767 grandiosity and narcissism where we think that we make 37 00:03:22,867 --> 00:03:26,266 the rules, that's when it becomes pathological. 38 00:03:28,367 --> 00:03:30,000 Somebody that has an intense level of self focus, 39 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,300 Somebody that has an intense level of self focus, 40 00:03:31,367 --> 00:03:35,767 an over-inflated sense of self importance, and a belief that 41 00:03:35,767 --> 00:03:38,567 they're somehow better than the rest of us, 42 00:03:38,567 --> 00:03:40,567 it allows them to be in a power differential 43 00:03:40,567 --> 00:03:43,000 position where they're one up, and we're one down. 44 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,567 Richard Ramirez walked into the courtroom as if he was 45 00:03:59,667 --> 00:04:00,000 a rock star 46 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:00,934 a rock star 47 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,567 entering into a concert venue rather than somebody who's 48 00:04:03,667 --> 00:04:06,367 facing trial for multiple murder charges. 49 00:04:06,367 --> 00:04:09,166 He seemed more interested in the fame 50 00:04:09,266 --> 00:04:12,467 and the affection that he received from his followers. 51 00:04:14,967 --> 00:04:17,567 That is his way of showing his grandiosity, 52 00:04:17,667 --> 00:04:20,900 that this whole court system was just beneath him. 53 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,266 He was arrogant, he felt that he was 54 00:04:24,266 --> 00:04:25,400 better than everyone else. 55 00:04:25,467 --> 00:04:28,867 While Richard Ramirez is one notorious example 56 00:04:28,867 --> 00:04:30,000 of grandiosity, 57 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,066 of grandiosity, 58 00:04:30,066 --> 00:04:33,600 we also see that same behavior in Israel Keyes. 59 00:05:25,700 --> 00:05:28,367 SAHNI: For most of us, the experience of interacting 60 00:05:28,467 --> 00:05:30,000 with law enforcement, if you just think about 61 00:05:30,100 --> 00:05:31,767 having been pulled over with a speeding ticket, 62 00:05:31,867 --> 00:05:33,567 people become nervous, 63 00:05:33,667 --> 00:05:36,567 they start babbling and talking quickly. 64 00:05:36,567 --> 00:05:39,500 They show outward signs of stress and discomfort. 65 00:05:39,567 --> 00:05:41,367 What we see here in Keyes, 66 00:05:41,367 --> 00:05:43,767 oozes the concept of grandiosity. 67 00:05:43,767 --> 00:05:47,200 He is self-focused, he is entitled, 68 00:05:47,266 --> 00:05:51,166 he is arrogant, and he is not at all concerned about 69 00:05:51,266 --> 00:05:53,967 the interaction and how he comes across with others. 70 00:06:26,667 --> 00:06:27,867 [Keyes laughs] 71 00:06:54,867 --> 00:06:58,767 TUSSEY: These victims were pawns in Israel Keyes's game, 72 00:06:58,867 --> 00:07:00,000 and whenever they foiled his plan, 73 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:00,667 and whenever they foiled his plan, 74 00:07:00,667 --> 00:07:04,200 he got angry and tried to take back control of the situation, 75 00:07:04,266 --> 00:07:06,266 and the way he callously laughs 76 00:07:06,367 --> 00:07:10,066 about it in retrospect as he's discussing it, in the same way 77 00:07:10,066 --> 00:07:14,266 that you or I might discuss going to the store to buy milk, 78 00:07:14,266 --> 00:07:16,266 he knows what's right and what's wrong, 79 00:07:16,367 --> 00:07:17,900 but he doesn't care. 80 00:07:44,100 --> 00:07:45,266 [laughs]

that he's unconstrained, 87 00:08:02,367 --> 00:08:04,367 and the world is -- things are there for him, 88 00:08:04,467 --> 00:08:05,867 and he deserves them. 89 00:08:05,967 --> 00:08:10,166 They're owed to him, because he's so great. 90 00:08:10,266 --> 00:08:13,000 SAHNI: Many people have a desire to have nice, material items, 91 00:08:13,100 --> 00:08:15,900 nice cars, nice clothes, nice homes. 92 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,600 But most individuals in society don't take 93 00:08:19,667 --> 00:08:22,000 from other people to gain those accomplishments. 94 00:08:22,100 --> 00:08:25,700 A psychopathic individual uses other people to get 95 00:08:25,767 --> 00:08:28,767 ahead, and they victimize people all along the way. 96 00:08:28,867 --> 00:08:30,000 And for Aeman Presley, it was about fame. 97 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,400 And for Aeman Presley, it was about fame. 98 00:08:52,767 --> 00:08:54,400 SAHNI: There are people every single day 99 00:08:54,467 --> 00:08:56,600 whose dreams are failed. 100 00:08:56,667 --> 00:08:59,667 For somebody who experiences grandiosity, 101 00:08:59,767 --> 00:09:00,000 being able to stay in a status position is 102 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,667 being able to stay in a status position is 103 00:09:02,767 --> 00:09:05,066 a critical part of what continues to feed it. 104 00:09:05,066 --> 00:09:09,100 And so for Aeman Presley, having a failed acting 105 00:09:09,166 --> 00:09:10,667 career doesn't really 106 00:09:10,767 --> 00:09:13,000 do anything to help bolster that grandiosity, 107 00:09:13,100 --> 00:09:14,567 but killing people does. 108 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,100 He's not getting the attention and recognition that 109 00:09:37,166 --> 00:09:39,166 he thinks he should have by being an actor. 110 00:09:39,166 --> 00:09:43,000 So he's finding another way to make his mark on the world. 111 00:09:43,066 --> 00:09:46,166 If he can't get adoration, he will settle for fear. 112 00:09:57,467 --> 00:09:58,533 DETECTIVE: Mm-hmm. 113 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,066 SAHNI: When we think of a narcissistic individual, 114 00:10:25,066 --> 00:10:26,700 and we think about their grandiosity, 115 00:10:26,767 --> 00:10:28,266 it's all about themselves. 116 00:10:28,266 --> 00:10:30,000 But in so many of our episodes and crimes, 117 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,667 But in so many of our episodes and crimes, 118 00:10:31,767 --> 00:10:35,567 the high that that individual is after is 100 percent 119 00:10:35,567 --> 00:10:38,567 about the harm another person experiences. 120 00:10:38,667 --> 00:10:40,700 It isn't incidental or a byproduct. 121 00:10:40,767 --> 00:10:44,400 It's actually the focus of how they achieve pleasure. 122 00:10:44,467 --> 00:10:47,667 A sadist is somebody who enjoys seeing 123 00:10:47,767 --> 00:10:50,800 the pain and suffering in another individual. 124 00:10:50,867 --> 00:10:54,166 It's a common trait that we see in psychopathy. 125 00:10:54,266 --> 00:10:55,567 In a way, there is no such 126 00:10:55,567 --> 00:10:59,467 thing as collateral damage for a sadist, because the damage is 127 00:10:59,467 --> 00:11:00,000 the entire goal of their behavior. 128 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,967 the entire goal of their behavior. 129 00:11:22,967 --> 00:11:25,200 MORGAN: In psych, we often think, it's like that old adage, 130 00:11:25,266 --> 00:11:27,000 "I want you to suffer like I do." 131 00:11:27,066 --> 00:11:28,800 Many psychopaths, 132 00:11:28,867 --> 00:11:31,400 they enjoy the control over the person, 133 00:11:31,467 --> 00:11:35,800 and they actually enjoy that person's fear, 134 00:11:35,867 --> 00:11:39,200 their terror, their emotions, and their suffering. 135 00:11:47,467 --> 00:11:50,400 When we think about what has gone on over the years in 136 00:11:50,467 --> 00:11:50,596 social media and the kind of bullying and harassment 137 00:11:50,596 --> 00:11:54,100 social media and the kind of bullying and harassment 138 00:11:54,166 --> 00:11:56,567 and trolling behavior, 139 00:11:56,667 --> 00:11:59,367 most of us, the line that pulls us back is 140 00:11:59,367 --> 00:12:01,767 we realize we don't want to hurt another human being. 141 00:12:01,767 --> 00:12:03,000 The difference is a sadistic 142 00:12:03,100 --> 00:12:05,600 offender doesn't mind creating victims. 143 00:12:08,667 --> 00:12:11,166 I have many -- what I call them projects. 144 00:12:11,166 --> 00:12:12,967 They were different people in the town 145 00:12:12,967 --> 00:12:14,567 that I followed, watched. 146 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,200 Tying somebody up is very personal. 147 00:12:34,266 --> 00:12:36,600 It can give an individual like Dennis Rader 148 00:12:36,667 --> 00:12:39,166 the ultimate power over their victim. 149 00:12:39,266 --> 00:12:44,100 He derives joy from watching another individual suffer. 150 00:12:44,166 --> 00:12:47,467 The same sadistic tendency and drive that we see in BTK, 151 00:12:47,467 --> 00:12:50,596 we also see in criminals like Gary Sampson. 152 00:12:50,596 --> 00:12:51,166 we also see in criminals like Gary Sampson. 153 00:13:06,100 --> 00:13:09,000 Sampson victimized complete strangers, 154 00:13:09,100 --> 00:13:11,367 some of whom were even trying to help him. 155 00:13:11,467 --> 00:13:15,667 This exemplifies his sadistic tendencies 156 00:13:15,667 --> 00:13:17,767 to use people as objects. 157 00:13:17,867 --> 00:13:20,596 I mean, he didn't even care about their names. 158 00:13:20,596 --> 00:13:20,667 I mean, he didn't even care about their names. 159 00:13:20,667 --> 00:13:23,400 They're basically a means to an end for him. 160 00:14:04,867 --> 00:14:10,266 Sampson's describing a level of force and violence 161 00:14:10,266 --> 00:14:12,400 that is so excessive to what he needed to do 162 00:14:12,467 --> 00:14:17,200 to render the victim helpless and to gain compliance 163 00:14:17,266 --> 00:14:19,367 that you can only think he must have been 164 00:14:19,467 --> 00:14:20,596 enjoying this and getting a high off of it. 165 00:14:20,596 --> 00:14:21,900 enjoying this and getting a high off of it. 166 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,367 It gives him a sense of power, 167 00:14:23,367 --> 00:14:25,567 and it drove that urge to do it again. 168 00:15:11,300 --> 00:15:14,400 He was finding ways to prolong the deaths, 169 00:15:14,467 --> 00:15:16,867 trying to find different ways to do it in order 170 00:15:16,967 --> 00:15:18,867 to satisfy that urge. 171 00:15:18,967 --> 00:15:20,596 He wanted to torture this person. 172 00:15:20,596 --> 00:15:21,100 He wanted to torture this person. 173 00:15:21,166 --> 00:15:23,400 He was not trying to do it quickly. 174 00:15:23,467 --> 00:15:27,000 He was trying to inflict as much pain as possible, 175 00:15:27,066 --> 00:15:28,467 and that is sadism. 176 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,200 Sadists might modify their behavior in order to 177 00:15:48,266 --> 00:15:50,596 keep chasing that high and to keep fulfilling 178 00:15:50,596 --> 00:15:51,000 keep chasing that high and to keep fulfilling 179 00:15:51,100 --> 00:15:53,467 that need to watch someone else suffer. 180 00:15:53,567 --> 00:15:55,467 And that's also true for individuals who 181 00:15:55,567 --> 00:15:58,700 engage in sexual sadism, like Michael Ross. 182 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,967

really good job of articulating -- 186 00:17:23,367 --> 00:17:25,166 it was the power he was after. 187 00:17:25,266 --> 00:17:29,100 And it was about that urge to control another human being -- 188 00:17:29,166 --> 00:17:32,800 evoking fear, evoking fight, evoking humiliation, 189 00:17:32,867 --> 00:17:34,867 evoking pain and torture. 190 00:17:34,867 --> 00:17:37,200 That is the high that he craved. 191 00:17:37,266 --> 00:17:40,367 And once he got a taste of it, he needed to keep it going. 192 00:18:07,066 --> 00:18:10,300 The importance of the strangulation is key here. 193 00:18:10,367 --> 00:18:13,567 For Ross, it allows him to feel 194 00:18:13,567 --> 00:18:16,200 the individual's life being drained from them. 195 00:18:16,266 --> 00:18:18,500 It's an intimate connection that 196 00:18:18,567 --> 00:18:20,596 gives him a sexual fulfillment. 197 00:18:20,596 --> 00:18:20,967 gives him a sexual fulfillment. 198 00:18:20,967 --> 00:18:23,266 It's the epitome of sexual sadism. 199 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,567 SAHNI: What's interesting about Ross is that while the crimes 200 00:18:38,667 --> 00:18:41,000 are so sadistic and so violent, 201 00:18:41,100 --> 00:18:43,100 he blended into everyday society. 202 00:18:43,166 --> 00:18:46,767 He graduated from a very well-respected school. 203 00:18:46,767 --> 00:18:49,266 Psychopathic individuals, they're oftentimes people 204 00:18:49,266 --> 00:18:50,596 publicly who we might walk right past. 205 00:18:50,596 --> 00:18:52,266 publicly who we might walk right past. 206 00:18:52,266 --> 00:18:55,200 The risk is right in front of you, and you don't see it. 207 00:18:55,266 --> 00:18:57,300 MORGAN: They're good at disarming people, 208 00:18:57,367 --> 00:18:59,166 because they seem nice. 209 00:18:59,266 --> 00:19:01,467 There's another trait in psychopathy. 210 00:19:01,567 --> 00:19:03,967 When we talk about superficial charm, 211 00:19:03,967 --> 00:19:07,400 it's a behavioral strategy on the part of a psychopath to get 212 00:19:07,467 --> 00:19:09,867 what they want -- everybody likes a little flattery, 213 00:19:09,967 --> 00:19:13,166 and they don't see the wolf coming. 214 00:19:13,266 -->

because as long as I 220 00:19:28,266 --> 00:19:30,467 do that, I'm gonna beat these people. 221 00:19:36,867 --> 00:19:40,767 DERIGHT: Charm can be anything from smiling to someone 222 00:19:40,867 --> 00:19:43,467 to building them up and giving them compliments. 223 00:19:43,567 --> 00:19:48,000 We all use charm to try to get something that we want or in 224 00:19:48,100 --> 00:19:52,452 order to make a situation happen -- in a psychopath, 225 00:19:52,452 --> 00:19:52,467 order to make a situation happen -- in a psychopath, 226 00:19:52,467 --> 00:19:54,467 it's going to make someone disarmed. 227 00:20:03,767 --> 00:20:05,500 Ted Bundy is perhaps one of 228 00:20:05,567 --> 00:20:09,467 the most notorious examples of superficial charm and glibness. 229 00:20:09,567 --> 00:20:12,767 His smile, his wit, his demeanor 230 00:20:12,834 --> 00:20:16,266 helped him meet and become close 231 00:20:16,367 --> 00:20:19,000 with his victims so that he was ultimately able to 232 00:20:19,100 --> 00:20:20,667 murder them. 233 00:20:20,734 --> 00:20:22,452 Using charm allows you to be a wolf in sheep's clothing 234 00:20:22,452 --> 00:20:24,100 Using charm allows you to be a wolf in sheep's clothing 235 00:20:24,166 --> 00:20:28,166 and Ted Bundy is not alone in using charm to lure victims. 236 00:20:28,166 --> 00:20:31,000 One of the examples of superficial charm 237 00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:33,834 is in the case of Anthony Allen Shore. 238 00:21:22,834 --> 00:21:25,367 He's studying the things that might put her at ease 239 00:21:25,367 --> 00:21:29,667 or might make her in a position to do what he wants to. 240 00:21:29,767 --> 00:21:33,066 He's literally and figuratively learning how to 241 00:21:33,066 --> 00:21:34,667 speak her language in order 242 00:21:34,734 --> 00:21:36,367 to get closer to her. 243 00:21:36,467 --> 00:21:39,467 MORGAN: For psychopaths, charm is a deadly weapon. 244 00:21:39,467 --> 00:21:41,467 It blinds us when we're normal 245 00:21:41,467 --> 00:21:43,467 to the danger that is in front of us. 246 00:21:43,567 --> 00:21:46,300 It disarms us and makes them more lethal. 247 00:21:46,367 --> 00:21:48,600 We don't see it coming, and they know it. 248 00:22:13,567 --> 00:22:15,834 We'd like to think that most people would accept 249 00:22:15,834 --> 00:22:17,967 the rejection, apologize. 250 00:22:17,967 --> 00:22:21,367 Many psychopaths don't have a good appreciation of how well 251 00:22:21,467 --> 00:22:22,452 they're doing in their charm, and he may have thought it was 252 00:22:22,452 --> 00:22:25,000 they're doing in their charm, and he may have thought it was 253 00:22:25,100 --> 00:22:27,667 working very well, and then when he was rejected, 254 00:22:27,734 --> 00:22:28,967 got angry. 255 00:23:02,300 --> 00:23:03,467 He has a tourniquet with him, 256 00:23:03,567 --> 00:23:06,266 which is not the thing you take on a date. 257 00:23:06,367 --> 00:23:07,467 He's got to be up close 258 00:23:07,567 --> 00:23:10,166 and personal to strangle someone with a tourniquet. 259 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,667 SAHNI: When we think about these different traits 260 00:23:29,734 --> 00:23:31,734 we've discussed in psychopathy, 261 00:23:31,734 --> 00:23:34,600 one of the important distinguishing factors between 262 00:23:34,667 --> 00:23:37,200 those of us who aren't psychopathic and those who are, 263 00:23:37,266 --> 00:23:40,000 is our willingness to manipulate others to a degree 264 00:23:40,066 --> 00:23:41,166 that creates harm. 265 00:23:46,767 --> 00:23:49,367 Manipulation is something that we use 266 00:23:49,367 --> 00:23:52,166 in our everyday life all the time. 267 00:23:52,266 --> 00:23:52,452 Trying to get someone to buy something if you're in sales, 268 00:23:52,452 --> 00:23:55,934 Trying to get someone to buy something if you're in sales, 269 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,767 trying to get your toddler to eat their vegetables. 270 00:23:59,867 --> 00:24:02,867 Manipulation is not necessarily a -- a negative quality. 271 00:24:02,967 --> 00:24:06,066 It's a human quality that exists in all of us. 272 00:24:06,066 --> 00:24:09,667 But then also manipulation is yet another tool 273 00:24:09,734 --> 00:24:13,600 that psychopaths use in order to victimize people. 274 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,467 TUSSEY: On the surface, John Wayne Gacy 275 00:24:16,467 --> 00:24:18,467 looked like a regular community member. 276 00:24:18,467 --> 00:24:20,967 He was even involved in local politics. 277 00:24:20,967 --> 00:24:22,452 He performed as Pogo the Clown at kids' parties. 278 00:24:22,452 --> 00:24:24,467 He performed as Pogo the Clown at kids' parties. 279 00:24:38,967 --> 00:24:40,300 MORGAN: Gacy lured people in with 280 00:24:40,367 --> 00:24:42,934 the promise of getting a construction job. 281 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,767 That was a manipulation. That's a very appealing offer. 282 00:24:45,867 --> 00:24:47,834 There's nothing suspicious about it. 283 00:24:47,834 --> 00:24:51,266 I mean, "Oh, I'll get a job," and it's disarming. 284 00:24:51,367 --> 00:24:52,452 SAHNI: He would create a scenario that he was gonna 285 00:24:52,452 --> 00:24:54,266 SAHNI: He would create a scenario that he was gonna 286 00:24:54,367 --> 00:24:57,767 show them a magic trick to get victims to voluntarily 287 00:24:57,867 --> 00:24:59,400 agree to be tied up. 288 00:24:59,467 --> 00:25:02,200 Most of us are sitting here thinking, "I would never let 289 00:25:02,266 --> 00:25:03,567 someone just tie me up," 290 00:25:03,567 --> 00:25:06,734 so that should give you the litmus test and the measure 291 00:25:06,734 --> 00:25:09,367 for how successful he was. 292 00:25:09,367 --> 00:25:12,200 Michael Hernandez is another good example of someone 293 00:25:12,266 --> 00:25:16,100 who uses manipulation to lure his victims in. 294 00:25:53,266 --> 00:25:55,934 Jaime was good friends with Hernandez. 295 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,400 He had no reason to think that 296 00:25:57,467 --> 00:25:59,367 Hernandez would do anything to harm him. 297 00:25:59,467 --> 00:26:02,600 Someone like Hernandez doesn't return loyalties. 298 00:26:02,667 --> 00:26:04,166 He uses them to exploit someone. 299 00:26:04,266 --> 00:26:06,266 He sees them as signs of weakness. 300 00:26:29,266 --> 00:26:30,467 MORGAN: It is a manipulation. 301 00:26:30,467 --> 00:26:33,500 They say whatever they need to tell you to do it, 302 00:26:33,567 --> 00:26:35,166 and then we end up believing if we follow 303 00:26:35,266 --> 00:26:38,000 their instructions, then we believe it'll be okay. 304 00:26:38,066 --> 00:26:40,166 I think that's what Jaime's doing in this setting, 305 00:26:40,266 --> 00:26:42,667 but with psychopaths who manipulate, 306 00:26:42,734 --> 00:26:44,266 they're never gonna let you go. 307 00:27:14,834 --> 00:27:18,100 Hernandez doesn't make any real attempts to cover up 308 00:27:18,166 --> 00:27:21,000 the fact that he manipulated Jaime, that that was his agenda, 309 00:27:21,100 --> 00:27:22,452 that was his goal, and that is what he did to his friend. 310 00:27:22,452 --> 00:27:23,600 that was his goal, and that is what he did to his friend. 311 00:27:23,667 --> 00:27:25,934 That is one of those traits we see in 312 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,066 psychopathic individuals. 313 00:27:27,066 --> 00:27:30,166 We see that display of just willing 314 00:27:30,166 --> 00:27:33,667 to look at humans as transactional characters. 315 00:27:33,734 --> 00:27:36,100 They have something that I want. 316 00:27:36,166 --> 00:27:38,000 How do I get it? That lack of empathy 317 00:27:38,100 --> 00:27:41,200 is definitely a marker of psychopathic behavior. 318 00:28:04,767 --> 00:28:07,934 Lack of empathy is a detachment 319 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,367 from the typical emotions that we, 320 00:28:10,367 --> 00:28:13,400 as humans, experience when we interact with each other. 321 00:28:13,467 --> 00:28:15,567 Jeffrey Dahmer sought out 322 00:28:15,667 --> 00:28:19,567 his victims ultimately wanting to turn them into human zombies 323 00:28:19,667 --> 00:28:21,500 so that they had no real 324 00:28:21,567 --> 00:28:22,452 ability to interact with him, all for his own pleasure, 325 00:28:22,452 --> 00:28:25,100 ability to interact with him, all for his own pleasure, 326 00:28:25,166 --> 00:28:28,000 with zero remorse for what he did. 327 00:28:28,100 --> 00:28:30,834 For most of us, we feel bad that somebody 328 00:28:30,834 --> 00:28:32,567 else is struggling or suffering. 329 00:28:32,667 --> 00:28:34,266 With a psychopathic individual, 330 00:28:34,367 --> 00:28:37,000 they're not bothered by harm and pain and suffering. 331 00:28:37,100 --> 00:28:39,667 They exhibit that lack of empathy, 332 00:28:39,767 --> 00:28:40,767 that lack of connectedness, 333 00:28:40,834 --> 00:28:42,300 even to their own family members. 334 00:28:42,367 --> 00:28:44,667 We see that in the case of John Hummel. 335 00:29:25,867 --> 00:29:27,000 Lack of empathy, 336 00:29:27,066 --> 00:29:28,862 it definitely impact someone's ability 337 00:29:28,862 --> 00:29:29,367 it definitely impact someone's ability 338 00:29:29,367 --> 00:29:31,500 to maintain long-term relationships. 339 00:29:31,567 --> 00:29:35,266 So for Hummel, rather than problem solving in the way that 340 00:29:35,367 --> 00:29:36,734 other individuals might, 341 00:29:36,734 --> 00:29:39,867 when we have relationship issues, he gets rid of his 342 00:29:39,934 --> 00:29:42,100 problem by getting rid of his family. 343 00:30:22,667 --> 00:30:25,467 TUSSEY: He discusses it so calmly. 344 00:30:25,467 --> 00:30:28,033 There's nothing about his actions, 345 00:30:28,100 --> 00:30:28,862 non-verbal or verbal, that suggests he feels remorse 346 00:30:28,862 --> 00:30:31,667 non-verbal or verbal, that suggests he feels remorse 347 00:30:31,734 --> 00:30:33,266 beyond the superficial 348 00:30:33,266 --> 00:30:35,767 acknowledgement that he feels bad about it. 349 00:30:56,734 --> 00:30:58,862 He kills his entire family, 350 00:30:58,862 --> 00:30:59,066 He kills his entire family, 351 00:30:59,066 --> 00:31:01,166 and despite the fact that people would say he was 352 00:31:01,266 --> 00:31:03,100 attached to his daughter, that he loved her, 353 00:31:03,166 --> 00:31:05,867 he was enjoying being a father and a parent, 354 00:31:05,967 --> 00:31:08,400 she was dispensable when, ultimately, 355 00:31:08,467 --> 00:31:11,100 her needs conflicted with his needs. 356 00:31:11,166 --> 00:31:14,066 And that's the key, really, is that for some individuals, 357 00:31:14,066 --> 00:31:17,266 their psychopathic tendencies stay in check for many, 358 00:31:17,266 --> 00:31:19,867 many years, but the minute that their need 359 00:31:19,934 --> 00:31:22,300 comes into conflict with other people's needs, 360 00:31:22,367 --> 00:31:24,667 they choose themselves. 361 00:32:04,767 --> 00:32:06,867 He's talking about being detached. 362 00:32:06,967 --> 00:32:10,367 He's talking about not feeling the closeness 363 00:32:10,467 --> 00:32:13,567 that he should have for his family members. 364 00:32:13,567 --> 00:32:15,567 He's not thinking about what happened 365 00:32:15,567 --> 00:32:18,100 after and getting pleasure out of it. 366 00:32:18,166 --> 00:32:21,166 He's not reveling in it, but he's not remorseful, either. 367 00:32:32,667 --> 00:32:37,467 Not only is he unable to express the typical emotions 368 00:32:37,467 --> 00:32:38,667 that you would see in someone 369 00:32:38,767 --> 00:32:41,367 who's experiencing the loss of someone else, 370 00:32:41,367 --> 00:32:42,767 let alone their own child, 371 00:32:42,834 --> 00:32:45,367 he's not even able to do that for himself. 372 00:32:45,367 --> 00:32:50,467 His relationship with death is really him saying, 373 00:32:50,467 --> 00:32:51,667 "I don't really know how to feel. 374 00:32:51,734 --> 00:32:53,166 "I -- I don't have these positive 375 00:32:53,166 --> 00:32:55,767 or negative feelings associated with it." 376 00:33:20,367 --> 00:33:24,166 One thing we see with both John Hummel and Kevin Davis is 377 00:33:24,166 --> 00:33:27,367 that they both have a very significant lack of empathy, 378 00:33:27,467 --> 00:33:28,767 to a degree that 379 00:33:28,834 --> 00:33:28,862 they're able to victimize people in their own family. 380 00:33:28,862 --> 00:33:31,367 they're able to victimize people in their own family. 381 00:34:25,667 --> 00:34:28,862 He's saying that it's a beautiful thing that happened, 382 00:34:28,862 --> 00:34:29,266 He's saying that it's a beautiful thing that happened, 383 00:34:29,266 --> 00:34:31,166 and he's in awe of people 384 00:34:31,266 --> 00:34:33,867 that can do this in such beautiful and creative ways. 385 00:34:33,934 --> 00:34:37,367 He's not showing any remorse for doing what he did. 386 00:34:37,467 --> 00:34:41,066 He's not showing any regret that it was his mother. 387 00:34:42,367 --> 00:34:44,400 SAHNI: There's a complete lack of empathy. 388 00:34:44,467 --> 00:34:46,100 He knew that she was struggling. 389 00:34:46,166 --> 00:34:49,567 He dragged her from room to room and then continued 390 00:34:49,567 --> 00:34:53,100 to inflict pain on her and inflict harm on her. 391 00:34:53,166 --> 00:34:57,166 And the way he
