But when you try to translate that into normal human logic, “Why these kids? Why that night?” It doesn’t add up in a way that gives families peace.
I mean, courts can prove how and who, but “why” is often twisted, vague, or just plain empty. He might say something if he wanted to manipulate sympathy, but the real answer is likely worse and that there is no answer that makes sense, because the void in him doesn’t make sense.

Sadly my own family was affected by a similar event nearly 8 years ago. My cousin was murdered by her boyfriend's son. Her boyfriend was also killed and their killer attempted to kill two others that day.
We never received an answer to "Why?" throughout the investigation or trial. The killer is now in prison for life without the possibility of parole, but we'll likely never know why he chose to murder two people and attempt to kill two others.
