"Officials may never know (kidnapper) DiMaggio's motive" WTF?

[bettyellen]

Why are they acting as if this shit is so very weird or different?
I thought that since the subjugation of women (in the name of love) is common as dirt they'd have pulled a clue, no?

1. maybe they should listen to what her friends have said

[Nay]

2. Oh, for fuck's sake--they can't figure out his motive?? Why, he was claiming his child 'bride'

like every other fucking caveman has for the past 100,000 years. Jesus. He just went a bit farther by killing off some relatives, but that's not unheard of, either. Honestly, are they trying to pretend they don't know how these male minds work when it comes to sex? No one has read the horror stories of the Mormon 13-yr-old girls married off to old men? DiMaggio felt entitled to his own slave woman, just like those old Mormons.

6. Thank you! Do people not make the connection?

Got to be that male privledge thing.
Must be awfully nice not noticing this crap.

[Nay]

9. Really. It just makes me spew. Notice he didn't waste his time on a Plain Jane, either. NOPE.

Grabbed himself a gorgeous blonde 15-yr-old cheerleader. I mean, this shit writes itself, for Christ's sake.

3. Obvious motive is obvious

Why did they even say that?

[Jackpine Radical]

4. Maybe their own taste runs to large herbivores or something…

5. Fine Corinthian leather. n/t

[tabasco]

7. Gee, why did he kidnap a 16-year old cheerleader????

We're struggling here! Anybody got any ideas?!?

[kestrel91316]

8. [phone]

[GaYellowDawg]

10. Because he was a fucking predator. Duh.

It's not any more complex than that.

[Princess Turandot]

11. They may have been referring to his murdering of the mother and little brother?

Originally, I thought he must have killed them as he was trying to take the girl. However, the reports are that the kidnapped girl didn't know that her mother and brother were dead until the FBI told her. So my assumption is that he grabbed her from somewhere else altogether, which would leave his motivation for killing the others unclear.

[bettyellen]

12. because he knew they would ruin his plan of taking her.

Not so hard to figure out the two things are connected.

13. What a disturbing case all around. Really threatens what little faith in humanity I have left.

Some people - some men - feel so entitled to whatever it is they want, they'll destroy - or take - lives to get it.

[bettyellen]

14. And they prey on the kinder, less experienced types....

That this poor girl was afraid to share her fears with her Mom says a lot about how much pressure there is for girls to not make waves.

15. He apparently followed in his father's footsteps...

Man Killed in Idaho Mirrored Father's Actions

A man suspected of abducting a 16-year-old family friend after killing her mother and younger brother died in a shootout with FBI agents exactly 15 years after his father committed suicide, a family spokesman said Monday.

James Lee DiMaggio, 40, appears to have followed in his father's footsteps in a carefully laid plan, said Andrew Spanswick, a friend who runs a behavioral treatment center in West Hollywood.

Spanswick said DiMaggio's father disappeared exactly 15 years before the house was set on fire.

James Everet DiMaggio was addicted to methamphetamine and had a troubled life marred by criminal activity, Spanswick said. His cause of death was listed as dehydration, but he consumed a large amount of methamphetamine intravenously and "walked into the desert," he said.

The elder DiMaggio was arrested in 1988 after breaking into the home of his ex-girlfriend, wearing a ski mask and a carrying a sawed-off shotgun and handcuffs, Spanswick said. The former girlfriend wasn't home, but DiMaggio held her 16-year daughter and her boyfriend at gunpoint. The girl escaped after asking to use the bathroom.
