"When he came to my home, he was just as nice as he could be, well-educated, well-mannered," Hembree said. "We sat and talked numerous times together. We thought a lot alike. And I respected him a lot, I really did. This is what is so very painful for me."
(Hembree is the latest victim's sister, the one who recognized him on Dr. Phil)
She said: "We thought a lot alike."
A very good article on Narcissism by Dr. Sam Vaknin says:
"The Narcissist is possessed of an uncanny ability to psychologically penetrate others. Often, this gift is abused and put at the service of the narcissist's control freakery and sadism. The Narcissist uses it liberally to annihilate the natural defences of his victims by faking unprecedented, almost inhuman, empathy.
This capacity is coupled with the Narcissist's ability to frighteningly imitate emotions and their attendant behaviours. The Narcissist possesses "resonance tables". He keeps records of every action and reaction, every utterance and consequence, every datum provided by others regarding their state of mind and emotional make-up. From these, he then constructs a set of formulas which often result in impeccably and eerily accurate renditions of emotional behaviour. This is enormously deceiving."
From what I have read - almost everyone who met that creep Hicks thought they & he had A LOT IN COMMON. Con Men always make it seem like you have a CONNECTION. Connie said the same thing about her con man.
Someone should show this to Ms. Hembree and Ms. Grant before they do Good Morning America on 12/15/05!! It might explain a few things to them.
