Thomas Lee Dillon had a normal life with a job and a family, but he didn't like life, so he pretended to be other people. A sports star, a singer, the president, and even a killer.

Stephen King wrote a character like this in his story “Apt Pupil”; the character used to do the exact same thing where he would sit on a hill and watch cars through his sniper scope and pretend to shoot but one day he eventually did so and went on a spree and beforehand often had killed animals, I wonder if it’s just coincidence or maybe Thomas had inspiration 💭

@mommy2libras 11 ай бұрын

I highly doubt it. People like this kill because it makes them feel powerful and they simply enjoy the act of taking someone's life, not because they heard or read about it and think it sounds fun. He imagined himself to be some strong, powerful, influential person who was basically above everyone- a sociopath with delusions of grandeur. In fact, I'd bet that he never read Different Seasons, or much of anything at all as far as literature. Especially fiction. He'd be busy "writing" his own story, which would of course star himself. He would always be the main character- anyone else who existed around him, including his wife and kids, would likely only matter in how he related to and interacted with them. He would see it as a waste of time to spend his time reading what someone else imagined and wrote because it would never be as good as his own story/life in his mind.

11:16 "never provided detectives a satisfying answer". "He said he killed bc he wanted to" That is the answer, doesn't matter if detectives feel a sense of satisfaction or not. They don't think like a killer so may just not understand a real answer when they hear it.

@justlucky8254 Жыл бұрын

Yep. Some people are what they are and do what they do "just because." Plenty of people do horrible things without any reasons or motivations beyond simply wanting to do so. They put no more thought into it than they do into choosing which soda to get from the vending machine. That might frustrate people who want to find some deep cause that helps it make sense to themselves, but there's not always any sense to be found and especially not when the perp is mentally screwed up.

@NickyBlue99 Жыл бұрын

Exactly, some people just do evil deeds because they can. There's no deeper reason or meaning. There's no "trauma" or deep pathological reason that they're trying to deal with, which causes them to kill others. Some people just do evil deeds because they want to. Not everything is extremely deep or a mystery wrapped in an enigma. I guess that can frustrate some people because they've been conditioned by TV shows like criminal minds or whatever other crime dramas are on TV to believe that all criminals like this guy have some deep backstory and trauma or psychological problem that caused them to kill. Or that every killer is some sort of complex psychological puzzle that needs to be solved with terms like "narcissism"/"psychopathy"/"sociopathy"/etc.

If you ever do an unsolved story, I’ve got one for you. Near Byesville, Ohio, there was a murder in the 80’s or early 90’s of an elderly man named Potts. Years later on the same date, someone came back and killed his elderly wife in the same house. It’s always lived rent-free in my head, but I’ve never heard about it being resolved. A screwdriver was the weapon of choice, if my memory serves correct.
