Casey’s Profile – Part 5: Her Dark Triad

Posted on January 11th, 2010 by by Valhall

Excerpt:

We have looked at the apparent severity of the three “toxic traits” of the Dark Triad, psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism, as exhibited in Casey’s behavior and treatment of others. What we have found on this cursory review is, to intentionally understate it, she is not lacking in any of the three traits. So, borrowing heavily from Marilee Strong’s work in Erased, we will look at what Casey’s Dark Triad means from a criminal profile standpoint applying Strong’s
observations of the male eraser killer to the theorized female eraser killer to see if we have a fit. Strong states about the eraser killer’s appearance in life to others:

Unlike most other murderers, he very often has no criminal record and sometimes no
history of violence whatsoever.

He is also someone who has always been a fabricator of reality. He is not your harmless
garden-variety fibber but a compulsive, pathological liar whose lies are meant to get a
reaction out of other; to inspire their admiration, to evoke their sympathy, to get him
exactly what he wants. He makes up stories big and small, often lying about things for
no readily apparent reason. But he is especially practiced at deceiving others about who
he really is. The expertise at lying and manipulation that is needed to successfully lead
a double life is indicative of a high degree of machiavellian thinking and behavior.
