Chapter 52 Chapter 50: Paola Decanti's Apartment

Paula handed Anthony the new analysis and he read it right away.After reading it, he didn't know how to evaluate it. "Officer, I hope you don't mind what I say, but this report is incomplete, you just wrote a brief summary of what we all know, and honestly, you can't help us." Paula stood up. "You're dead wrong, Kaloski presented a very complex clinical situation, from which we deduced that his aggression turned into sexual aggression. Clinically neutered, turned into a serial killer." "These are the facts, and that's how we build our theories."

"And these are actually a complete waste of time. Take a closer look at my analysis of his character, at the end of the report, the first eight definitions of a serial killer." Anthony looked at those lines and nodded. "You wrote about two types of serial killers: those who are organized and those who are not. It's not a perfect classification, but it's an effective one. Unorganized killers kill randomly, commit crimes on impulse, and are likely to leave Evidence. They usually know the victim, they usually commit the crime near the victim’s residence, and they use what is convenient as a weapon: a chair, a belt, or other things that are available at hand. Sexual assault is usually rape.”

Anthony rubbed his eyes. He was sleepy and had only slept for a few hours. "I'm sorry, please continue." "Another kind of killer, the methodical kind, is the one who has a lot of freedom of movement and grabs his victims by force. Usually the victims are strangers. The weapons are prepared in advance and never Will remain at the scene. The body will be dumped in a middle ground, which is what the killer wants. Now tell me, what kind of killer is Karowski?" "Obviously the second." "Any observation can lead to that conclusion. But let's go a little further. We have his file. We know who he is, where he came from, what he was thinking. Forget everything that happened in the last few days and focus on When he first entered St. Matthew's Institute."

"A very impulsive personality, which will explode under certain circumstances, just like lighting gunpowder." "And after five years of treatment?" "Become a different person entirely." "Would you say the change was gradual, or was it sudden?" "It was very sudden. I can say that it happened after Dr. Crowe forced him to listen to the recordings of his own hypnotherapy sessions." "Father, I don't mean to offend you, but after reading these interview notes between you and Dr. Karowski and Dr. Crowe, I believe that you are wrong. And your mistake pointed us in the wrong direction to investigate. "

Anthony leaned forward: "I don't mean to offend you, I have a degree in psychology, you know, but I went to graduate school as punishment. My real career is completely different from this, and you are a professional criminal expert. I'm lucky you're here, but, I don't understand how you came to that conclusion?" "Take another look at the paper I wrote," Paula said, pointing to the paper. "After I wrote 'Totally disagree with the above!', I listed five characteristics that we could not find in Kaloski, that is, he belongs to the character of a methodical killer. According to that criminal psychology Textbook, any expert will say that Kaloski has a lot of abnormal behavior in the methodical killer. He has a deep psychological trauma, and this case is at odds with his past experience, are you familiar with the term? It's called 'cognitive dissonance' ?”

"It's a state of mind. It's a person's behavior and inner beliefs that are extremely contradictory. Kaloski's cognitive dissonance is very serious. He thinks he is a model priest, and at the same time his 89 victims will see him as Be a beast." "That's right, so, as you say, Kaloski is a man totally devoted to the church, indifferent to the intrusions of the outside world, but within a few months has become a serial killer, cold-blooded and insane Is it because he listened to the recording of the first time he was abused when he was a child and realized it?"

"It looks a little... a little unreliable." Anthony said hesitantly. "Or it's impossible. Dr. Crowe's irresponsible behavior will hurt Karowski, but it will never inspire this completely subversive transformation. When you read the list of victims to Karowski, Religiously fanatical, he covered his ears, ashamed and indignant. It was impossible for him to transform into a methodical killer in such a small place within a few months. Let us go back to the time when he killed the first two victims in the institute. Form: He dismembered a priest and killed another."

"But the Cardinal died at the hands of Karowski. By his own admission, his fingerprints are also present at the three crime scenes." "Yes, I have no doubts that Kaloski killed them, that is clear. But what I want to say is that his motives for killing them are not what we think. The most important part of his file is that despite his twisted soul , and still being a priest is part of the reason why he committed these horrific crimes." Anthony understood, he was very sad, and to keep his balance, he sat down on Paula's bed. "Obey authority." "Correct. Kaloski wasn't a serial killer at all, he was hired to kill."
