Those journal entries don't really read like journal entries to me. The longer entries seem more like prepared and considered stories--stuff written for an audience other than yourself. I wonder if he was keeping those as notes for a book.


The extracted quote at the top of the Forbes article here seems to indicate he was thinking along those lines: http://www.forbes.com/sites/sarahjeong/2015/01/22/the-dread-...

"I imagine that someday I may have a story written about my life, and it would be good to have a detailed account of it."


A book he could never publish. Unless he got caught.


Write it and have it published when you die I suppose is the other solution.


Or after the statute of limitations runs out, but I'm not sure how long that would be for the crimes he's accused of.


People publish books about crimes all the time.


I think you'd expect that from someone on the spectrum of pathological narcissism or psychopathy, which is I think not unlikely given what we know about him.
