Don said: "Those who see him selecting a six year old girl as a target because he lacks the ability to confron an adult are engaging in rank speculation. I admit that."

Not rank speculation. Studies have born out the theory that those who attack very young or very old victims are inadequate. This is the same mentality of a schoolyard bully--they attack the weakest to make themselves feel good. It is also the reason so many killers start out by killing or abusing animals--weaker creatures who cannot fight back.

If this killer's primary target was John Ramsey, he may not have felt he could confront Ramsey and win since John would have been able to defend himself. Pick a vulnerable, weaker opponet and you're bound to come out the weiner--er--winner.
