It may also have been an attempt to "save" himself, knowing that something was terribly wrong with him, and thinking that if he just played it straight long enough, then he could become normal.

Except that he was already doing his killings while volunteering at the crisis hotline. He is also one of the many who believed he was superior to the "normal" emotional humans. Therefore no desire to be one.

Perhaps, but there's no reason to think he gave up all his victims, indeed the opposite is assumed.

And this is where study and awareness of the problem have improved things in this regards. While some would see the increasing the numbers of people diagnosed as a bad indication, it's actually more that we now know the signs of what to look for, and how to tell it apart from other issues.
The same can be said of ADD. While it does get misdiagnosed, on the whole, it's more that we now know what it is we're looking for, and even 50-60 years ago, we didn't have a term for it. So of course the numbers went up, just like the number of airplane crashes rose after the Wright Brothers flew.

His M.O. was quite rigid and well established. It was random personal meetings using physical prop bait... Not using personal information gleaned from the suicide hotline.
However later, after he escaped from county jail and went to Florida, began his attacks in dorm rooms while the victims were sleeping.

I'll leave you to it. Not my thing, I don't want to understand serial killers. Hell I figure if I could really understand the mind of my ex, I'd be as crazy as he.

It's really a study of sociopaths, not serial killers strictly.

a Nuroscientist's own research and brain scan proved that his brain is identical, in the crucial areas, to those of famous psychopaths and serial killers.
And He found that his family had a linage of murderers.
BUT... He's discovered that his upbringing in an very loving environment appears clearly to have overcome what "naturally" should have been his fate.

"Child brain scans to pick out future criminals
Published on 03-01-2011
Source: Telegraph
More researchers believe that violent tendencies have a biological basis and that tests and brain imaging can pick them up in children.
They argue that, by predicting which children have the potential to be trouble, treatments could be introduced to keep them on the straight and narrow. If the tests are accurate enough then a form of screening could be introduced in the same way we test for some diseases.
The theories were put forward by two leading criminologists at the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington.
Prof Adrian Raine, a British criminologist, argued that abnormal physical brain make-up could be a cause of criminality, as well as helping to predict it.
His studies have shown that psychopaths and criminals have smaller areas of the brain such as the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, both of which regulate and control emotion and behaviour. He also believes that a lack of conditioning to fear punishment, which can be measured in toddlers before disruptive behaviour is apparent, could also be a strong indicator.
Dr Nathalie Fontaine, who also spoke at the conference, argued that children as young as four exhibited “callous unemotional traits” such as lack of guilt and empathy that could also suggest future bad behaviour. Linking these features with “conduct problems” such as throwing tantrums could be a strong way to predict who could be anti-social in later life.

It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison

I feel the same. We don't even watch movies about serial killers.
