Help me understand!

New to this case and feel like I must be missing a lot of info. How is it possible this Allen guy never committed any other crimes? No history of anything? Nothing violent, not even a bar fight or something? And just escalated to double murder? And then never did it again? This is truly mind blowing to me. I’m sure this guy did it but it’s just so shocking this guy went from zero to double homicide.

And what is the suspected motive? He just always wanted to do it and finally had the opportunity? He snapped?

I’m so very confused.

I'm sure the motive is known. Richard Allen said he wanted to rape the girls. He told a correctional officer and he also told Dr. Wala that was what he wanted to do to the girls.

Look up his co workers stories of him. He was a creep for a long time before this happened.
