I watched something on Opera earlier before I fell asleep about this woman who was with this man for 17 years but was married for 9 and they had 2 little boys (I think...maybe it was 3) and he had never physically abused her throughout the entire 17 years but he had been emotionally abusive and mentally controlling, she said he'd tell her that she wasn't being a good mom or that she didn't know how to do anything right the woman even pointedo ut that he'd tell her that she wasn't loading the dishwasher right. Well she said that they had went to a marriage counselor because she eventually got tired of him controlling and emotionally abusing her and that he didn't like what the counselor told him so he left and stayed gone for 5 days. She had met him in a hotel room to discuss divorce and custody when he attacked her, knocked her unconscious, tried to suffocate her and drown her but she lived, he got arrested and put in jail but got out after 24 hours because it was his first offense. 3 weeks later he was hiding in her van when he jumped up and shot her twice in the back of the head...once again she somehow lived after 5 months he tried to hire a hit man to take out her mom, brother and herself but he actually hired a undercover cop and got busted. The man is now in jail for 30 years without parole but the woman still lives in fear that he might try to get another hit man or even come after her himself whe he get's out in 30 years.

In conclusion, the woman said that besides the controlling behavior and the emotional abuse he showed no signs of being capable of any of this and he also stated that in the hotel room the night she was first attacked that he snapped and she saw a look on his face that she had never seen before in the 17 years that they had been together. So tribe to answer your question anyone is capable of anything andj ust like the woman pointed out you can be with someone 5 months, 5 yers or even 50 years and not really know who they are or if they are capable of something of that sort. He man had obviousally planned out each and every attack down to the finest detail. I believe that serial killers aren't necessarily crazy but they have obstacles in their lifes that provoke this type of behavior in some way and eventually they just fall off the edge so to say, I'm also with CD they must have a very hifh IQ in order to sit odwn, plan a crime scene out, down to the finest little detail...espically the people who do it and are never caught...those who perform what's called "the perfect murders".
