Even more chilling was Andrew’s frequent use of violent expressions in his speech. Instead of repeating the common phrase “going ballistic,” Andrew would often substitute “going on a five-state killing spree.” He’d say, “If I found out I had AIDS, I’d be so mad I’d go on a five-state killing spree,” or “This is outrageous enough to make me go on a five-state killing spree.” Andrew’s frequent use of this phrase to be humorous was disquieting to Phil, who later told the FBI about it, after Andrew had actually committed murders in four states.
