Expert: "Blake Leibel was all about power and control" | Forensic Files

one of the things we know about narcissus is they're prone to grandiose fantasies of power and control and then
you look at his developing background in his career and there's a lot of evidence
of a preoccupation with violence he takes up with Yana and everything seems on the outside to be superficially okay
and then when she becomes pregnant and she doesn't want to have sexual relations with him anymore
well then we learn what's really going on it's all about him one of the hallmarks of the narcissist is extreme
selfishness they will have what we call narcissistic rage in response to not getting their needs immediately
gratified and that's what we see unfortunately happen to this innocent victim he says the science is gonna tell you
who did this to the police but his subtitles are I'm so important of course it's not me
I can't possibly have done this I'm - above everybody - ever be held accountable for my actions
Blake LaBelle was all about power and control the refusal to acknowledge that he's done anything it's all consistent
with how narcissistic he is he thinks he's gonna get his way he thinks he's gonna get away with it so he's used to
defining the reality for those around him and he believes he can do the same thing here he's been doing it his whole
life well fortunately our system has made him accountable for his actions [Music]
