      As a 🇬🇧, what you say, is alien to me. I can’t imagine paying for anything. I’ve seen many consultants and doctors, and I’ve been admitted many times, for x-rays, CT scans, mammograms, surgery, endoscopy, colonoscopy, cameras up and down every orifice. I’ve had blood transfusions. I’ve also had a tooth out under general anaesthetic. The amount of medication I take is ridiculous, I order it online, and have it delivered every 4 weeks. Our NHS is in a mess, but it’s not fallen yet, and generally our NHS staff work hard, are friendly, and caring. Same goes for our GPs, it’s practically impossible to get an appointment, but we get yearly health and medication checks. I worked for many years, and paid taxes. My taxes pay for everyone, and me. Even out of work people. So, that’s why we have a “ free at the point of need” service. 😊

      Also dont forget the title; Doctor, Officer, whatever, bc women love status. And it shows you are a man of honor, or so they think and knowledge and good edu, all things they love and can brag about to their gf's.
      Then climb up richer and richer. Take money from one, spend it on the next, so she thinks you have plenty to buy her presents and keep going up. Eventually you can take enough to pay them all back, but the last one.

      Anyone of any intelligence can have charisma, the key is to read people and connect with people, on an emotional level and Derek did just that with his victims.
      I'm not a therapist but I'm planning to go study to be one, I've been obsessed with personality disorders and studying them, and to me it seems as though Derek is more of a psychopath than NPD. Psychopaths are very narcissistic (he folded the first time after being praised by the cop) and VERY cool under pressure. That's why Derek was able to remain calm even with pretty much all the US after him. Above all, they are chronic liars, a psychopath will look you in the eyes and lie to you, an NPD will do that while fidgeting or soothing themselves with something. That's not what a psychopath will do.
      There's a difference in NPD, Psychopathy and Socipathy they are not all the same. They may appear so but there's subtle differences and one of the main differences between psychopath and NPD is the ability to stay calm under pressure (psychopaths dont feel normal human feelings like anxiety and fear, hence being able to lie so easily, NPDs are very prone to anxiety and fear no matter how charming they are)

He also falsely told her he'd had a vasectomy and she ended up falling pregnant.

In 1992, there was a press blackout to protect Stephanie Slater who had been kidnapped by Michael Sams and the press complied. Stupid 24 hour TV news has to have something to fill up their schedule, so they broadcast his details and tipped him off.

      The news did nothing wrong. The judges and police and prosecutors had loads of evidence against him for years, and did nothing, treated him as a joke. His victims came forward showing how he had stolen hundreds of thousands from them, and the police laughed them off.
      At times like these, all people can do is try to go to the media. And doing so is probably the only reason the police actually started getting serious about the case, beyond just inviting him for coffee and doughnuts hoping he'll confess.
