Iraq/Afghanistan War Vet + Post-Katrina New Orleans = Psychotic Break?


Zachery Bowen along with his girlfriend Addie Hall, were featured in this 2005 Newhouse News article about New Orleans. Zachery murdered, dismembered, and cooked his girlfriend, Addie Hall. He then committed suicide by jumping off a building:

A suicide note in the pocket of a man who jumped off the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel late Tuesday led police to the grisly scene of his girlfriend’s murder, where they found her charred head in a pot on the stove, her legs and feet baked in the oven and the rest of her dismembered body in trash bag in the refrigerator, according to police and the couple’s landlord.

As it turns out, Zachery was a US military veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars:

Friends said he served in the military in Iraq and Afghanistan and displayed both pride and bitterness over that experience.

Do you think that the stress from all three of those very stressful situations pushed this man into a psychotic break, or do you think it's just a coincidence and that he was probably psychotic before all that? Or a mixture of both?
