There'll be four, five people, a family, maybe some guests: enough to put up a fight. And you know they let themselves get tied up. You just know the guys said, 'We just want to tie you up.

And more than likely, he’s gonna cause such severe injuries to the victim that she’s probably going to die. Many times, this starts out as a rape and turns into a homicide because the sadist doesn’t know when to stop. The fear that comes back to him from the victim carries him away.”
