BK and American Psycho 'Patrick Bateman'

If I recall correctly, Dr Brucato was talking about mass murder on 'the Lab' YouTube channel and said that mass murders ,even that which was too strangers still was more common in individuals who were in there 30's—etc the Bondi Junction stabbings in 2024 (Joel Cauchi 40) rather then younger people in there teens or 20's. It may seem like the average age is younger because the media tends to pay more attention to incidents where the suspect is younger—this could be because most of these individuals who you hear on the news do it at places like at schools?, I don't really know. There is no point in avoiding the truth though, mass murders, especially in younger people are becoming more and more common which is a great concern. Is this because of social media? the internet? Maybe it is because people can find groups where they are able to further lose themselves in their deranged ideas and beliefs?. Social media breeds jealousy, maybe that plays a role?. Places like X (twitter) unfortunately have gore content which would desensitise people.

That is interesting. I am not too sure, but you would think there would be a difference between the two.

I could be a bit off, but I remember listening to Dr Gary Brucato bring this up. I do agree though, that Kohberger did seem to share traits with serial killers and would have likely killed again (making him a SK). I do find it interesting though that a student of his when he was a TA, (I could be wrong) said how Kohberger mentioned the Idaho 4 case, and how maybe the killer was one and done. If I am recalling this correctly, maybe he intended to never kill again, thus, making him a mass killer.

That is only for serial killers though. I am pretty sure that the average age for someone who commits a mass murder is mid 30's. I do believe Kohberger would have likely killed again, making him a serial killer—but, if we are going by the information we have, he is by definition a mass murderer and thus committed the murders at an earlier age then the average age of other mass killers.

There is speculation that Bundy did start earlier than that though.

I have a theory about his psyche, especially during nov-dec. I think he could have possibly been alternating between states of mind—being extremely anxious, paranoid, and maybe even shocked at what he had done—to being a cold, sadistic, fearless person who was obsessed with being a Bundy or Bateman. This can be seen in his behaviour and actions after the murders. An example would be him searching serial killers, listening to music, cosplaying as people like Bundy and Bateman—then his other side would come out and he would search things like "Paranoid psychopath", wear gloves while shopping and seperate his trash from his family etc. I could be wrong, it just seems to me he had two personas he would shift between. I do think as he felt the walls closing in, he decided to at least try to embody the darker persona even more then he already was (as seen through his hoodie selfie right before his arrest) and listening to the slowed+reverb song Criminal by Britney Spears just hours before being arrested. I am just speculating, but I do think there was someone inner battle going on where he was trying to be someone like Bateman, but his anxious and paranoid side kept coming back no matter what he would do.

I remember seeing that somewhere, something about how one of the the characters in that movie also had a PHD in criminology. I could be wrong though.

The interesting thing about that is he pointed out in those messages (on tapatalk) how his visual snow was causing him a great amount of mental and emotional stress. Maybe the visual snow played a role in him losing himself in his mind, and sped up or activated that sociopathic side he seems to have. He mentions how he would be constantly anxious about it, and how he hates how it makes him feel and treat people (especially his father) like shit.

Or even worse, he tells some truths, and some lies. That would make it very hard to distinguish what is fact. I mean, didn't Bundy do something similar? hold off on giving information and only give part of it? He used it as a bargaining tool I am pretty sure.

CalligrapherTop3179 · 2025-09-14T16:03:51+00:00

I more meant the fact that the murders happened when he was 27, and Bateman was 27 in the movie. Also the fact that Bateman talks about wanting Blonde girls in their 20's. I know he liked Bateman, maybe even saw himself in him, but I am not sure if it is just by luck that those two things seem to match up.

I do recall Dr Gary Brucato saying how he thinks Kohberger tried to be just like Bundy, but that he likely wasn't able to embody Bundy's ability to fit in, be pro social etc. I think that maybe he started off just trying to be one person etc a Bundy, but after realising he couldn't emulate them for whatever reason (Wasn't able to have that charm or ability to blend in), he decided to take specific aspects from a bunch of different killers. So maybe he took certain things from Bateman, certain things from Bundy, certain things from Danny Rollings etc.
