The traditional motives for killing: Love, Lust, Loathing, and Loot pushes greed to the back burner.
True crime is all around us, these days. From podcasts to television shows to movies and conventions, it’s practically in the air we breathe. It’s the true crime junkies’ world and we’re all just living in it.
The best authors do not sensationalize violence and human suffering. They provide context and depth to the crimes they study. Many might highlight the fallibility of the legal system and the ruinous forces of internalized racism and misogyny.
Greed seems to lag behind motives deemed sexier or more psychologically complex, including Jealousy, Love, and Revenge.
We’re reminded that true crime does not simply consist of a neatly constructed narrative with a criminal mastermind and heroic detectives and ideal victims. Life, and crimes, are so much messier than that.
There is always familial greed. We all know the sea’s full of sharks eager to feast on your flesh and blood. Most interestingly, some of them are your flesh and blood.
