The Curious Mysterious Motives Behind Homicides

Some of the most perplexing cases in jurisprudence involve motivations that seem to defy logic. From custodians stealing shoes to the baffling ultralight aircraft theft case, these murders challenge our understanding of crime. In this article, we will explore two particularly intriguing cases, each marked by an unusual and bewildering motive.

Murder for a New Relationship

In 1984, a custodian at Drexel University murdered a student to collect her shoes, a crime that initially seemed like a bizarre act of shoe hoarding. However, the incident brings to light a more unsettling motive: some individuals murder to enter into a new relationship or continue an existing affair.

These cases are perplexing because:

Most of the time, these individuals have no previous criminal record. Their current partners are likely suspects. The affair is in danger of being exposed. The chances of getting away with it are almost non-existent. The other party is unlikely to go to jail for them.

Executing such a plan often results in a far worse situation. This behavior raises fundamental questions about why anyone would go through with such a dangerous and ultimately futile endeavor. As the saying goes, it is often the worst outcome that one tries to avoid.

The Lightheaded Ultralight Aircraft Theft

In 1983, in a bizarre quadruple homicide in North Texas, a family man with no criminal history allegedly killed four men to steal an ultralight aircraft. Here is the case examined through several lenses:

Unlikelihood and Mysterious Nuances

The ultralight aircraft, linked to the murder, would likely have been too risky to use, due to its connection to the crime. The man made suspicious phone calls, which would be easily traceable, even with outdated technology. The murders exhibited a professional hit style, which contrasts with the man's previous life. The true motive remains elusive, possibly hinting at a deeper history of corruption in law enforcement and possible involvement of CIA operations.

Corruption in North Texas Law Enforcement

The Texas Sheriff’s Departments of the 1970s and 80s were plagued by corruption. Unsubstantiated rumors suggested that deputies and departments were involved in the drug trade. Lack of technology and oversight enabled these corrupt practices. Multiple investigations by the FBI and DEA were unable to uncover the truth, likely due to investigating officers being implicated themselves. Important details from drug busts were often missing, allowing the assets and contraband to be redirected.

Drug Smuggling and CIA Involvement

During that era, small planes facilitated significant drug trafficking within Texas. Evidence of CIA involvement in large-scale drug trafficking networks has been established. Law enforcement corruption was so pervasive that it required a high-level network of complicit individuals to function, including the Texas Rangers.

Corruption was extensive and systemic. Even a notorious drug-smuggling figure, Rex Cauble, had a connection to the Texas Rangers, who were instrumental in his prosecution. However, Cauble’s case was compromised when a Texas Ranger involved in the investigation was unexpectedly killed during a botched drug raid.

The alleged motive for the murder—stealing an ultralight aircraft—was implausible, given the circumstances. The evidence against the man, Lester Bower, was questionable, and alternative suspects warrant further investigation.

In conclusion, the ultralight aircraft theft case remains one of the most puzzling and complex cases of murder motives. The underlying reasons behind this crime extend beyond a simple theft and could be indicative of a much darker truth.

Rest in Peace, Lester Bower

Lester Bower, despite wrongful incarceration, will perhaps one day see justice. The truth, elusive and hidden within the complexities of human nature, will eventually surface.
