When we look back at the trial of serial killer who received the death sentence, Ted Bundy, it was reported that he showed no emotion.
When we look back at the reaction of Scott Peterson who was
convicted to death for killing his wife and unborn baby, we all witness that he
had a mask like facial expression and showed no emotion. Now we have seen
the same thing with Drew Peterson. As soon as the "guilty" verdict of
was read for killing his third wife Kathleen Savio, Drew Peterson showed no
emotion.
That lack of emotion is typical of a sociopath’s reaction
when found guilty. They detach and tune out as though the situation had nothing
to do with them. They may even joke and make light of their situation.
Peterson was overheard saying, after hearing the verdict, “I guess that
ruins my Christmas.”
His joke clearly reflects that he feels no remorse for what
he did.
Peterson will be spending the rest of his natural life
behind bars where like most sociopaths will insist he did nothing wrong and how
it was everyone else’s fault he is in prison. This sociopath will be where
he deserves to be so he can no longer seduce, marry, and harm women who
fall prey to him.
He fancies himself as being irresistible to
women. Like many sociopaths, his seductive personality lured them
in. The fact that he was a policeman and considered to be on the right side of
the law, initially made many women feel safe and secure. But once he
got them into his clutches, it was a different story.He became
controlling and abusive.
Thank goodness 24-year-old Christina Raines' father put
an end to her engagement with Peterson a few years ago. Her father told the
media that Peterson tried to control his daughter and use her to watch his
kids.
The young woman’s father was her savior; he went to
Peterson’s home with police in tow to collect his daughter, escorting them to
and from he home with police units. Peterson, who was more than
twice the young woman’s age, blamed her father and the press for the breakup.
In typical sociopath form, Peterson said, "This is what the media
always does to me. As soon as the story got out on Chrissy, I knew it would be
a problem for us.“
If you listen close enough to what a sociopath says, they
often reveal themselves as Peterson did in his "Nightline"
interview years back when Peterson said, after he was asked about
Christina Raines’ family, “I’d be wary of me too.” He also
admitted when the romance is gone in his relationships he tends to
have flings and move on.
Thankfully, his comments sparked a fight between the couple,
and Christina Raines returned the engagement ring and a cell phone.
Christina Raines, 24, is still alive. It's unlucky that
Stacey Peterson, who is still missing, was just 17 when the affair began
while he was still married to Kathleen Savio. Kathleen was 10 years his junior
when he married her. Most of the women he married or went after were
young and petite. These were women Peterson felt he had some
control over.
I had the opportunity to briefly see Peterson when I
was at CNN. Peterson was there to do the Larry King show and was in the makeup
room, where, according to the makeup artist, he hit on her. She
told me that he stared directly into her eyes and didn't break the gaze as
she applied his makeup.
Perhaps Peterson wanted to see if he could control
this curly haired, glasses-wearing, pierced, short-statured woman with
colorful and strange tattoos all over her arms, chest and neck. The
eye stare was no doubt his test to see if he could assert control
over this different-looking woman. Most likely, Peterson has played
this staring game with many other women. Those who blinked, turned away, or
women he sensed were intimidated by his stare were the ones, if
circumstances allowed, he probably took to the next level of seduction.
Even though Peterson will live out his years behind bars,
don’t be surprised if you hear that he has landed another relationship. Unfortunately,
there are emotionally disturbed women out there who are attracted to men behind
bars and who feel empowered by defending them. They have the
illusion the criminal would never do any harm to them because they
are special and they have control over the situation, which is only true
when the perpetrator is behind bars.
Little do they realize that sociopaths like Peterson will
still be in control as he plays mind games with them in an engaging way with
manipulation and emotional abuse, which is typical of a sociopath like
Drew Peterson.
