Check out this wikipedia entry on the incident, a family friend who works in the mental health industry said of Vince W Li that "He needed help, but
he just wouldn't get it," she said. "He was definitely schizophrenic, probably paranoid schizophrenic," she said. There was the constant paranoia,
and the unannounced bus trips that would catch his wife by surprise.
So clearly his history is a little more colorful than is being let on by most media outlets. I know a couple schizophrenics, one is disorganized and
wanders the streets ranting, but is mostly harmless. The other easily hides his dark side from the world, no one would suspect he's got such a large
mental problem, unless they know him really well and know what to look for. Also he often changes jobs as he loses the ability to handle the
environment and his anger towards the people within it. Once he hopped on a bus and cut off contact with his family, living in the middle of nowhere
on the opposite side of the country. Also has strong paranoid tendencies.
The first one takes medication, the second one doesnt. Vince li didn't take that type of medication.
It's interested that vince li also frequently changed jobs and once left his wife abruptly to live in another city before she came to join him.
Clearly he's had problems for a while, now whether he's killed before or not, I'm not sure anymore. A methodical serial killer is one thing, a
paranoid schizophrenic killer quite another. It would certainly explain his choice to kill during the bus ride, not the most logical thing to do.
