He’s very manipulative. He believes that his very aging victims are somehow better off being murdered.
He takes a ring from each victim to keep.
At a large house he’s currently staying at he will give a young woman one of his murder victim’s rings, which is initialized inside the ring loop.
He is aware of this and when she asks about it he gives a smokescreen answer that it used to belong to a family member, or something.
This will be the main part of his undoing in the end.
I don’t think this was for romantic purposes but rather for just another manipulation feather for his cap.
Now from news reports about the murders she realizes the initials match up to one of the murder victims, as the killings are a nationwide story.
For some reason instead of going to the police with what she now knows, she instead wears the ring in a manipulative way herself, coming down a stairway into a crowded room where he is speaking to people.
Near the base of the stairs she stops and rests her right hand on the railing, being sure to catch his attention to the ring.
She also has a very stern gotcha kind of look on her face, though she can’t actually prove anything.
I think she does all this to protect the much older woman of the house, maybe her grandmother, from becoming the next victim.
Anyway he now realizes he’s close to being outed and decides he needs to quickly dispose of her and get the ring back.
Now claiming that he will be suddenly leaving for Seattle(?) because of a letter he had “just” received, he somehow talks her into going to the train station with him.
They end up inside facing out an open doorway on the just departing and still accelerating train, he has every intention of pushing her out to her death.
He says to her that the still accelerating train “needs to be going faster, just a little bit faster.” She knows what’s going on and makes a quick pushing or tripping move that sends him to his own demise on the tracks.
There are other specifics I can remember but nothing turns up any close matches on internet search.
Thanks for any help.
