Jeff was a guy who had hoarded for quite a while. Jeff had a house (location unknown) in which he severely hoarded in. He went to Chattanooga, Tennessee one day to work on his music when he got a call that his house was on fire. Even after this incident, Jeff began hoarding again, except in Tennessee. What caused Jeff to hoard? He thought he could fix about everything. On top of that, Jeff struggled with deciding what to throw away and what to keep. Both of these hoarders have some things in common; They both don’t want to part with ANYTHING, they won’t listen to family members, and they both ended up in therapy. I know what hoarding is like because my papaw did it, and his case is very similar to Merlene and Jeff's. Honestly, TV does show a lot of truth about hoarding.
Looking for a case similar to the case on the Criminal Minds (Criminal Minds; "Unknown Subject", Season 7, episode 12), I came upon famous rapist and killer, Ted Bundy. The killer in this episode is similar to Ted because they both raped and killed several people. The main similarity is that they both would revisit their victims. Ted had sex with the victims dead body, while this killer raped his victims for a second time (alive). Here is an article that supports those facts.
Competition also can play a factor in a crime. Here is an article on how competition can lead to conflict. On Criminal Minds, "The wheels on the bus go", season 8, episode 8, two brothers fight against each other to be the best. It's totally normal to be competitive, but sometimes a little friendly competition can lead to serious harm, even if it isn't intended. There's been plenty of cases where this has happened.
