'Sexual sadist': Unabomber hunter James Fitzgerald says 'incel' should not be ruled out in Idaho killings
MOSCOW, IDAHO: People are still reeling from the murders of the four University of Idaho students while the killer is still on the loose. Recently, a number of experts have come up with their own theories regarding the suspect. In a recent interview, retired FBI criminal profiler and forensic linguistic, James Fritzgerald stated that "incel factor" should not be ruled out in the Idaho killings.
The author of 'A Journey to the Center of the Mind', who has investigated some high profle cases including that of unabomber Ted Kaczynsk, said that the police's investigation into the background of the victims did not yield anything fruitful. "My instincts are telling me that after almost two weeks of investigation being under taken by the police, the victimology so far that is the background of the individual victims, Madison, Ethan, Kaylee and Xana have not brought about any fruitful investigative leads for them" he reportedly said.

"That’s bothersome because automatically you were thinking of an ex-boyfriend or somebody that maybe Ethan had a fight with or something like that. But, apparently, that inner circle has not been - has been resolved or at least further - no further investigations are involving that. So now the police investigators have to go into the outer perimeter of this investigation. Like pizza delivery people, uber drivers and things like that," he said.
Elaborating, he added, "I’m leaning in that direction at this point, but, after two weeks, you think some lead would have come up. I’m not ruling out the incel factor, involuntary celibacy, that is a subculture. Mostly younger men who feel they are not dating the kind of women they would like to date and while most of them, the vast majority are not violent. Some do have violent ideation to carry out threats and actually take actions against people."
Then he described the two major factors that Idaho investigators are looking at. "Is it possible they saw the young women Stacey, or the young man Ethan as a Chad? The profilers and behavioralists are looking into all the online footprints of those type of people. Could it be a sexual sadist who travels the country and does some of these things elsewhere? Including the one in Oregon that we talked about. These are some of the factors that the investigators right now, are looking at."
When asked about the profile of the somebody who kills in this, he answered that he strongly suspects the preperator behind the Idaho murder could be an adult male. "I’m certainly leaning towards an adult male. It takes a lot. Shooting someone with a gun is one thing, you pull a trigger basically over and done with. But wounding with a knife or killing with a knife is a whole different set of physical and emotional reactions," he said.
"This offender has a violent ideation about him. Although the crime itself is not that sophisticated, the four corners of the crime itself, let’s face it. He used one of the oldest weapons available after a rock and a club, that is a sharp or slashing type of instrument. But he got into the scene, how he, perhaps, preoffense behavior, how he explored the interior of the apartment or had schematics about it or in there other times and of course the post offense behavior getting away with this crime. He apparently left no
fingerprints behind, no blood on his part and and no DNA. There is sophistication before and after the crime," he concluded.
