A dead body of a human is worth less than a chunk of meat that you'd buy from the grocery store. It is NOT a person. It's a worthless scrap of garbage that left over from an actual person. So why anyone would care about it in the first place, much less be massively affected by one, is beyond me. I get that Scully personally relates to these crimes, but THEY'RE DEAD. Why would anybody care, in the slightest bit, what happens to the husk of their existence once they're dead. You're dead. Your existence has come to an end. There's no afterlife from which to watch this an be upset by it. And no reason to care what happens to what's left behind by anyone else. Your loved one is dead, that's the end of it. This episode is masterfully acted by everyone in it, but lacks any actual depth. If Scully puts FAR too much value on the chunk of meat we leave after we die, why should anybody care? It only becomes relevant in the slightest AFTER he moves on to living people. By which point, anybody with any sense has already lost interest.
