1984 interview with Detective Robert Keppel (regarding the Green River Killer)
“Cris didn't want to play. He never played.”
The Golden Man (1954)
Context: Cris didn't want to play. He never played. He was off in a world of his own, a world into which none of them could come. He never joined in anything, games or chores or family activities. He was by himself always. Remote, detached, aloof. Seeing past everyone and everything — that is, until all at once something clicked and he momentarily rephased, reentered their world briefly.
