normal realms of abnormal psychology.

Look at it from the mindset of a paranoid schizophrenic off meds, and possibly a substance abuser, and it will make perfect sense. This crime can't be looked at logically, through the eyes of normalcy. Why do schizos think the newscaster is talking to them through the TV screen---or weird combinations of numbers mean something significant to them? For all we know the perp entered with no clearcut plan in mind, and flipped on the TV and started watching "Nick of Time(?)," (the kidnapping moving that was on that night), and thought the movie was telling him to kidnap a child.

The note was written in the house......the killing implement made in the house---possibly indicating impulsiveness and little planning. We may be giving the killer more credit than due.
