The Untold Story of Caylee Anthony 43:03 October 17, 2009
According to what I have read so far his mother didn't appear to have a college degree or interest in any profession-that she was a stay-at-home Mom for years. Her jobs were fairly menial-selling cigarettes and aspirin at a kiosk at a casino, doing crafts, quilting, etc. I wonder if she's a depressed person for having so little ambition in life. We're not getting the whole picture of his family life, his relationship with his mother,etc.
Friends revealed that if he lost at gambling(as in poker) he would get very angry-that he was always intent on winning instead of having fun. That he was awkward in social situations not a good trait for a future doctor.
Then the incident where he pinned and his female friend against the wall in an unwanted sexual aggression, alarming her. His lab partner in Med. School said he was "disturbed", that he would sit at the lab counter and not say anything for long periods. It's also odd that his parents didn't help him with med. school expenses, esp. since his Dad was a dentist whose salary should have been good.
I think besides a sociopath he's a misongynist. His user ID was "sexaddict" which was telling. It appears that he had an addictive personality from a young age.
He is yet another example of a troubled person where the red flags are going up left and right and no one acknowledged he needed help. Just like the Fort Hood shootings where Hasan was raising flags for YEARS. Both of these ill men were in the medical profession!! Is that scary or what? And Megan McAllister, a clueless, co-dependent,social climber, with expensive taste, when her fiance was in serious debt, is still planning on being a doctor. She had to have known that he travelled to the casino 19 times as they lived together. A huge red flag!! Do you want someone who is that dumb to be your doctor?
We need to be assertive when we see troubled behavior on someone's part before they commit such awful crimes. Mental illness cannot be ignored. Look what it can cause if not addressed and treated!
The prospect of eventually getting married only to have a boring life as a doctor was the driving force for Markoff to "kill for thrills" which is a common pursuit for todays youth.
I hope and pray he truly pays for his crime and that his parents find the time to ask God for forgivness for what they did to his mind becaused they really screwed him up by ignoring him as a kid.
