Casey’s Profile – Part 2: Her Psychopathy

Casey’s Profile – Part 2: Her Psychopathy

Posted on January 9th, 2010 by by Valhall

Excerpt:

As Marilee Strong shares in her book Erased: Missing Women Murdered Wives, Professor Delroy Paulhus, professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia, developed a three-part psychological profile, one that Marilee Strong describes as a “cluster of toxic traits”, that he refers to as “the Dark Triad”. The three traits of the Dark Triad are: psychopathy, narcissism and Machiavellianism. As Strong states:

“Someone who possesses any of the three traits to a significant degree
has the capacity for violence. An individual with a disturbing concentration
of all three traits could be extremely dangerous.”

We will show that Casey’s psychological make-up is covered by the latter statement. Strong believes the Dark Triad has been the “missing link” to understanding “the complex and contradictory psyche of eraser killers”. And I believe it is the missing link in understanding Casey, and why she killed Caylee.

This article, along with the next two, will step through the three traits of the Dark Triad, and then we’ll move to what Casey’s particular make-up in this “toxic trio” means in interpreting why she did what she did, and what scenarios may have played out in the erasing of Caylee. We will begin with her psychopathy.
