Am I Missing Something?

Discussion

People often talk about what a master manipulator Ed Kemper is. Yet when I see interviews of him, I see someone who is deeply insecure and anxious without much of a filter. There are two interviews where he seemed to be in control of the message: the 1983 KCRA interview about the Blind Project, and the 1984 interview that was part of Murder: No Apparent Motive. Otherwise, he is all over the place in both print and video interviews, rambling on and saying things that upset him when they are quoted later. That’s doesn’t seem to be the approach of a skilled manipulator, at least of the media. What am I missing?
