Joseph Scott Morgan: 我真的没想到这么快会再次讨论这个案件。伯明翰发生了一起独特的犯罪事件，一个连环杀手和大规模枪击案的结合。达蒙·麦克丹尼尔现在被认为与18起凶杀案有关，还与其他涉及人员受伤的犯罪有关。如果麦克丹尼尔不在，伯明翰的凶杀案数量不会这么高。麦克丹尼尔涉嫌在14个月内犯下14起谋杀案，但未引起全国关注，这很奇怪。预计麦克丹尼尔的受害者人数还会增加。连环杀手和大规模枪击案的组合非常罕见。麦克丹尼尔现在犯下了18起谋杀案，并参与了大规模枪击事件。连环杀手并不常被抓获，但警方在麦克丹尼尔的案件中做得很好。麦克丹尼尔可能有同伙参与犯罪。存在一种叫做“舒适杀手”的类型，他们有经济动机，比如职业杀手。麦克丹尼尔可能是一个舒适杀手，因为他收钱杀人。麦克丹尼尔的服务可能被幕后黑手雇佣。如果麦克丹尼尔收钱杀人，那么付钱的人可能要承担更大的责任。很难理解麦克丹尼尔杀人的动机。必须尽可能多地收集信息，因为伤者可能很快去世。为了理解当时的情况，必须追查每一个线索。 Dave Mack: 我认为大规模杀手是在特定区域内射杀多人，而连环杀手是在狩猎。大规模杀手在短时间内杀死多人后离开或自杀。连环杀手可能会改变作案手法，甚至需要几年时间。连环杀手会模仿其他杀手的行为，但他们很难改变自己的方式。BTK在社区中表现得像个普通人，他的家人也不知道他的真实身份。麦克丹尼尔既是雇佣杀手，又是大规模杀手，这与BTK不同。雇佣杀手被抓后会供出雇主，麦克丹尼尔也参与了大规模杀戮。麦克丹尼尔夺走了许多无辜者的生命。这对夫妇在庆祝新生命的到来时遇害。调查人员需要处理在不同时间、不同地点发生的死亡事件，这给调查带来了困难。
