Profile

Official Profile

The original profile report has not been released. This page presents what has been gained from various press releases in regard to the killer's profile. There is certainly more information being withheld for investigative purposes. According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the profile of the suspect, as generated by profiler Tom Davis, is as follows:

Probably in a dysfunctional relationship with a woman.
Has little control over the relationship, which may be the catalyst for his attacks.
Victims were chosen at random.
Victims are a substitute for a close female interest.
Most likely clean-cut man who is employed.
Articulate and well-groomed.
May seem "normal."
Good social and verbal skills.
May also have a volatile temper.
Average guy from an average neighborhood

The killer is said to seek out "substitute victims" in order to relive his rage. He seeks out women from whom he can easily gain confidence. These are women from "high-risk" lifestyles. The murderer made no apparent attempt to hide the bodies, suggesting that he did not plan the disposal of his victim, opting instead to leave them in the area of his attacks.

Note: While profiling is a useful tool, it is not an exact science. Profiler Tom Davis has been proven wrong in the past when he asserted that two missing persons (Lillian Martin and Joshua Bryant, age 10, her grandson) had moved on to another life in another location. The skeletal ramins of Bryant were found months later --only 5 miles from their Deltona FL home. Lilian Martin reamins missing and is presumed dead. On the hand, Tom Davis has been successful in using his profiles to help capture suspects.
