Another sniper attack in virginia - What does it take to catch this guy

[Arthur Dent]

Let me preface my opinion by saying that I have both academic and clinical training in profiling, including the opportunity to interview a lesser-known serial killer and a cannibal.

Sounds like Polly has a new role model. :rofl:

Very well thought out.

However, I believe it is one person, male, mid to late 20's, currently single (with a history of multiple, failed heterosexual relationships). This person holds a "menial" job, meaning his job entails rote, mundane, non-taxing tasks that require no special training....such as a delivery person or techinal assistant. He is a worker bee who answers to a hierarchy of supervisors. He is does his job, but it is not the occupation he sees as worthy of his intelligence or "skills"...the skills he feels he possesses, but these skills are not adequate for job or career placement. He would be described as an average worker who has a clean work record. He does his job and goes home....he does not socialize with his coworkers. His IQ is high relative to his peers, but his social inadequacies limit him from holding a white collar job. And he knows it. His upbringing was relatively unremarkable, other than he could be described as a quiet kid.

Of course, this could effectively apply to at least half the men in menial jobs. Not a criticism, just pointing out that these profiles seem more useful AFTER a suspect has been caught.
