All week long, Jemimah worked on the killer’s psychological profile. She believed the killer of the young women was a product of an overbearing parent, narcissistic on one hand and needy on the other. The mother probably alternated between expressing love and hate: one moment hating her husband and loving her child; the next moment, just the opposite. The case file was full of interviews with Charlie’s friends and acquaintances. Not one confirmed that Charlie had violent tendencies. On the contrary, they made him out to be kind and gentle, even when stoned.
Charlie’s brother from Wyoming claimed the body. He told Jemimah that Charlie was the second of three children. He loved animals, football and fishing. He was popular in high school. He dated regularly, generally stayed in relationships for six months to a year. He didn’t like to be tied down—liked to travel, hunt and fish. Their mother was a loving woman who attended all their school functions. She died when the boys were in high school. His father remarried some years later. Charlie called home at least once a year. Charlie didn’t fit any of the criteria of a serial murderer. Jemimah crossed him off her list.
