Paging watchers of Criminal Minds

I'm watching the "Elephant's Memory" of Criminal Minds. This is the episode from Season Three, where the BAU is called in to a small town in Texas, to investigate what appears to be spree killings that involve a teenaged boy.

What I want to know is if I'm the only one out here who strongly identifies with the killer and who spent half the episode hoping the killer was mis-identified.
