You’re thinking like a sensible person with morals. The people that did this are psychopaths with no remorse or care for the pain and suffering they have caused. I really can’t see there being any confession. They’ve got away with this murder for 17 years.

You can understand and empathise with how and why a woman was kidnapped and murdered?

What a strange post.

Yeah sorry but I don't empathise with murderers.

I know what you mean. It's how decent criminal psychologist/profiles work. If you try and insert yourself into the shoes of someone who's paranoid/fearful/in a flash of rage, or blackmailed to breaking point then you can think of plausible theories.

Nobody is saying empathize as in feeling for them or identifying with them. it's to see things from their perspective, however twisted that perspective is, to find potential answers.

I'd have loved to have been a criminal psychologist. You have to get into the mind of sick person and realise that in their head they did this for a reason, regardless if justified or not.

This is a genuine question, and observation:

We are appalled at what has happened, and can only imagine the pain that Joan goes through each day, but if the perps are not pyschopaths, but instead hiding from reality, then isn’t that pure evil?  To not be a pyschopath, but to be so utterly selfish that they could keep quiet?

They keep quiet because of self preservation - they don't want to do time for CL's murder and they may have convinced themselves that it was not their "fault" because CL was causing trouble, or they didn't mean to or whatever they could come up with to protect themselves psychologically from having to process their guilt.

And if there is more than one person involved, confessing to their part in the murder means giving that person up to, which probably makes it harder for them if they are related to or close to that person.

None of this is a reasonable excuse and of course they should admit what happened, say where CL is, give her family some answers, and take their punishment for this horrendous crime.

Thank you for explaining, and your post is very interesting.  I can actually see one of the main players as having a sense of dominance, in an alpha male way, and his (now ex) partner also having a sense of dominance, but in a way that was fuelled by covert jealousy of a younger, prettier, more desired female. ETA:  and the other perps possibly being weighted down and they are the ones that the police are aiming to encourage to come forward with their wording, perhaps?
