Ed Kemper felt isolated and incompetent, detached from the people around him.

He searched for a place where he could feel powerful

and in control. He lived most of his life in his imaginary vicious world, where he could

live out his darkest and most deranged fantasies.

He dreamed of raping women, killing women, and dismembering their corpses.

His rage simmered, egged on by thoughts of his controlling abusive mother.

The longer Ed fixated on vengeance, the more hatred towards his mother consumed his every

thought.

He longed for her death, and he wanted it to be at his own hands.

Finally, when his twisted daydreams became too hard to resist, Ed Kemper's violent fantasies became Santa Cruz's horrific reality. Hi, I'm Greg Polson.
