Childhood Lack of Stable Family of Lee Boyd Malvo Discuss the lack of a stable family and deficits in young Lee Malvo’s early childhood and adolescence and how this led him to develop dissociative tendencies, i.e., to become detached or depersonalized, allowing him to be susceptible to John Muhammad’s brainwashing or intensive indoctrination to become the D.C. sniper.
