Number and type of weapons and motive and such are not relevant when talking about a person deranged enough to do something like this. Stop thinking he was a rational person making rational decisions. I know it's human nature to try and figure out the 'why' of a thing, but when it comes to seriously mental folks there is no figuring it out.

Why did Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy and David Berkowitz kill all those people? Why did Timothy McVeigh blow up a building? Why do any of these horrific things happen? Because these folks are mentally screwed up in ways that are not understandable to the general population of the world and to try to figure it out or make sense of it is beyond our capabilities.

The motive definitely is relevant..all the little pieces of info we have are too in their own way.  

Even if could never fully understand his mind I think it's important to find out why and how it happened. People don't just do things like this on whim.

They don't do it on a whim, these examples I gave took preparation and were premeditated. That doesn't mean there is no reason for it other than they're just bat [BLEEP] crazy. They can say they have a 'reason' but all the people I mentioned were just messed up people. I mean, what is a good reason/excuse to eat your victim (Jeffrey Dahmer?) None, other than he was exceptionally messed up in the head. No childhood trauma, or any other trauma is going to explain that away. 

Ted Bundy had no trauma in his background. No childhood whatever to motivate him to kill all those women. He just did it. 

Some people are just evil. There is nothing to explain it.
