To Kill and Kill Again Quotes

“Serial offenders generally commit their crimes as stress is building on them. That stress level reaches a peak, and that’s when they make the kill. It’s like a weight being lifted off their shoulders. That’s what they [the killers] say. It’s a cathartic experience.”

“You know,” the deputy told them, “last night, we found Wayne under a bridge out in Milltown. He had some kinda altar set up. And a small fire, and he had killed some cats, sacrificed ’em, I guess.

“So the story of the robbery, and a two-column photograph of a handcuffed George, ran the next morning. It was front-page news, and in a quirk of juxtaposition, the story and picture appeared adjacent to a yuletide cartoon, a reminder of the upcoming holiday. It showed Snoopy advising: “Cheer up! You’ve got 9 big shopping days left.”

“But a next-door neighbor was certain that she saw Wayne Nance, a neighborhood boy, in the Pounds’s backyard that day. Then another neighbor reported that she saw someone who fit Nance’s general description in the West Riverside vicinity on that afternoon. Yet another neighbor witnessed a man walking away from the Pounds’s house on the day of the murder, carrying a black bag as he walked in a southwesterly direction through the field beyond the house—toward Tamarack Trailer Park, where Wayne Nance lived.”

“McGuinness case was now construed by an agonized public as Phase I of a diabolical satanic triad. Whoever the killer was, he had to kill a virgin, a Christian, and a betrayer. It had to be in that order. Supposedly Donna Pounds, a devout Christian, was sacrificed by this devil-worshipping psychopath who was satisfying Phase II. Supposedly a book had been found in a trash can behind the house, detailing the ritual by which she had been murdered. Some contributors to the rumor mill claimed that the ropes found in the house stood for Salem witch-trial nooses. A devil sign of some sort was said to have been painted on a wall in the basement with Donna’s own blood, and similar signs were said to have been cut into her body. Somebody told somebody that parts of her body were found in Pattee Canyon, a picturesque recreation area south of Missoula. Sheriff Moe was aware of the rumors, and he knew, too, that Harvey Pounds was an avid proselytizer against satanism. On a local Christian radio show, his fundamentalist, God-fearing ministry sermonized on the question: Was Satan marshaling his forces for the inevitable confrontation?”

“There, after retying the rope restraints on her ankles and taping her mouth shut, he stood behind her and squeezed five rounds from the Luger into the back of her head at point-blank range. Her body fell forward into a crouch. Her killer then shoved the gun between her legs and inserted the barrel into her vagina, where he left it.”

“Her name was Robin. It was late August of 1984. The place was the strip in East Missoula, a truck town just east of Missoula, Montana, and a place where trouble is always waiting to happen. As she neared the entrance to the Cabin, her eyes targeted the bouncer at the door. He wore a big smile and she couldn’t help noticing his handsome physique, evident under a tight, Star Wars T-shirt worn with the sleeves cut off. His name was Wayne. He recognized right away that this girl was from out of town. She told him that she had just been kicked off a truck after she had gotten into an argument with the trucker. She didn’t have any money. That was not surprising, either, given the slept-in appearance of her trench coat. He also could see that she had beautiful, pearly white, perfect teeth. She said her name was Robin. About five-foot-four, she had auburn hair, which she had recently dyed and—maybe partly because she was heavy set, probably weighing close to 140 pounds—very large breasts, which he couldn’t help but notice.”
