Aries: The Performer and the Infamy Machine

He killed at least eight women and could not stand the fact that nobody knew it was him. So he drew a smiley face on a truck stop bathroom wall, wrote an anonymous confession with details only the killer would know, and waited. When nobody responded, the letters started — to prosecutors, to journalists, to news outlets — each one signed the same way.In a hotel room on the thirty-second floor of the Mandalay Bay, another man had been there for three days. He checked in under his own name, set up twenty-four firearms, and mapped the sight lines down to the crowd below. On October 1, 2017, he opened fire on 22,000 people. He killed sixty. Then he turned the gun on himself. He left no note, no manifesto, no motive. He left a number.Episode 8 of the Aries Season introduces the Performer — the dark Aries who does not just commit violence but advertises it. The audience is not optional. The audience is the architecture. Jillian Clemmons traces two men shaped by fathers who modeled a specific lesson about power, two men who experienced a catastrophic collapse before the killing began, and two men for whom the violence was not the end — it was the opening act.The same need underneath. Different volumes. The same frequency. Featuring: Keith Hunter Jesperson (The Happy Face Killer) | Stephen Craig Paddock (The Las Vegas Shooter). Sources: Wikipedia | FBI.gov | Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Final Report | Oregon State Penitentiary records | All That’s Interesting | Psychology Today | People | CNN| NBC News Thank you for liking, subscribing and sharing.
