Not to absolve him of taking responsibility for his own heinous actions, but I put a good chunk of the blame on the failure of his parents, too.

He simply lacked the ability to understand that his own behavior is what was putting people off and had no normal way to cope with that. I'm sure having the problems he had was greatly compounded by his ability likely have what ever he wanted.
It's also a possibility that he actually took relationship building classes as he supposedly had a website telling how he was ripped off and that they were all scams. This was from reddit though and not sure if that's been confirmed. If that is true then yes he did actually put effort into trying to fix himself.
Not trying to make excuses but I don't think the kid was just a psychopath as it appears at first glance.

One thing to consider, this is Socal, Santa Barbara- Ridiculous amounts of money and wealth. His dad being an assistant director might mean a nice living here but I suspect the family is at the lower end of rich, tops.
Nevertheless, with enough to get him a BMW and tuition at UCSB and hollywood connected parents should be enough to get anyone in socal laid by the time they are 22. unless.
Unless they are extremely introverted. If you don't toot your own horn here, you are not going to get noticed by girls. You have to have a lot of money/power/something to offset that in a big way.
I wouldn't be surprised if this guy is entirely introverted and was probably a decent fellow, but expected girls to notice him for what he thought his qualities were instead of showing them off.
psychobabble!
