What do you mean no motive.

He stated to a case worker that he wanted to be the best serial killer people have ever seen.

Maybe no motive to kill those specific people, but he had a motive to kill people.

I mean, no revenge, sex, drug, money motive. May be for fame, like the ripper, if some of the letter are from him
