Every day Quote by Robert Dugoni
““We try too hard to figure out why these guys kill when it’s really not possible to identify all of the factors that cause an individual to become a serial murderer. Think of the billions of things that have gone into developing who you are. I’m not just talking genetics and upbringing—think of all the things you’ve experienced every day of your life that have shaped who you are. That’s why there’s no template for these guys.””
