(Feb. 18) -- Joseph Andrew Stack, a disgruntled software engineer who police say deliberately crashed a small plane into a Texas office building, was likely a "self-loathing" individual who blamed others for his own perceived failures, a world-renowned criminal profiler said.
Stack, 53, apparently set fire to his house before he flew a small plane into an Austin office building housing Internal Revenue Service employees. He is presumed to have died in the crash.
"A narcissist hates losing and then facing reality, so Joe vented his anger via a letter before killing himself," said criminal investigative psychologist Maurice Godwin, who has not treated Stack.
The letter that Godwin refers to is a 3,205-word essay that Stack is believed to have posted online before the crash. In it, the author detailed his anger at the U.S. government and expressed his disdain for the IRS and what he described as the "monsters" of organized religion.
"There isn't enough therapy in the world that can fix what is really broken," the manifesto said.
