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.

It's not always the case that criminals have a past. Look at the Tanner Horner/ Athena Turner case, apparently he had no significant criminal past.

Actually they do always have a past. They might might not be known to
LE but they would have a history of deviant behavior and a violent temper.
