Aside from that in itself being crazy? I would assume things like internet search histories and library records would indicate a person had been planning something like this - Douglas Garland had books and searches full of stuff like 'how to kill without emotion'.

On the other hand, you have stumbled upon a reasonably good screenplay premise.
