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.

So, let me get this straight…if someone commits a murder, they must have committed other crimes before hand?

Murders happen, everyday, by people who have never committed a crime before that. Every single day.  It’s not confusing.

I 100000000% believe Allen is guilty but OP has a point. A violent murder with a blade with 2 young capable victims that went unsolved for so long was a wild first (possible) murder. This type of crime is not random, he thought about it and planned something violent toward women for a long time. Another commenter is right, maybe it was his first murder but almost certainly not his first crime. That type of rage and violent sexual energy builds.
