IMO, assuming he's guilty, which is not yet proven:
sounds like he was trying to turn himself in.
which when coupled with the "i love you guys" call to his home and his spending all of his time sleeping, sounds a lot like depression, actually.
which isn't very sensational or sociopathic, but would be more statistically likely.

OK- and when they got there he lost his guts to turn himself in and just sent them to the basement? What's odd is how many times the cops and him came into contact and never thought anything. Beyond that, ok, maybe he was totally calm, they come to a house where some unknown person is, no resident of the house is there and they are looking for a missing person: "She went to the movies"!? And then the cops ticketed him for driving without a license and the cabbie also got ticketed on the way to the airport with both the towtruck and taxi drivers saying that the kid reeked something terrible.
The fact that others said he smelled so badly is a very important piece of this puzzle because we know that the house had a totally SEPERATE area from the main part of the house. The bodies were in this seperate area and the basement was in the main part of thehouse where everything else was including the bedrooms bathrooms kitchen etc, so he killed them in this little seperate area which the cops didnt check and couldnt have smelled the decomposed bodies from where they were in the main house. So what does him smelling so badly tell us? It tells us that he spent a considerable amount of time in that seperate area where the bodies were after they started to decompose, he REMAINED in that area, near the bodies long enough that the smell began to cling to his body and he took the odor on himself. He didnt have to stay in that area since the main house is where everything else was YET HE CHOOSE to stay in the area where the dead bodies were for such a long time that he began to smell to, and smelled badly enough that the tow truck driver himself was RETCHING even with the windows down. So what kind of person spends time, enough time to begin to smell themselves, with dead bodies when they can be in a totally different part of the house where there is no smell or sign of the dead?
A sociopath I say.
I also want to comment on something I dont like to talk about much but it is the best and only example I can personally attest to. I was in the US military I am a trained US Navy Seal. The only action I saw was in Panama when we were sent to capture Noriega. I dont wish to discuss the details of all of that as I am not at liberty to do so, but my point is that we were trained to be unemotional, unattached and unhesitant to KILL, we were trained to the point that killing was a second nature we didnt think twice about it, it is what we were trained to do above all else. 99.9 percent of all the people in my squad were very haunted by what we had to do in Panama, when you kill someone it stays with you forever no matter how much training and brainwash they put us through you never get over it, even if its the enemy you know its a human being likely a father or a son or a loved one to someone, it haunts you in your sleep and disturbs you when you are awake and it never goes away, you move on and deal with it and can have a relatively normal life after but its always there and its a heavy burden to carry around the rest of your life, this is how MOST every single soldier I know feels to this day, we did what we had to do but we didnt enjoy it for a moment, even if many of you might feel that those of us who served in a war theater enjoyed going out and machine gunning everything in sight, it isnt true for 99% of the people who serve, but there was always one or two guys in our squad who really did enjoy it and were totally incapable of realizing that they were killing real living and breathing human beings, someone who was some mothers son. They loved to kill and thought nothing of it, they were good soldiers and to this day they brag about their exploits and get a hard on thinking about it. I served side by side with a FEW of these types, and they were indeed FEW during my time in the military, I dont know about now but there were very few then, but my question is what makes them that way, it is clear to me that they are wired differently than the rest of it and I believe one pretty much has to be born that way, these people, the FEW that I knew, were clearly sociopathic in my opinion and I believe they were such due to some sort of genetic defect.
So I ask, what is a sociopath and how does one become one in your opinion?
