Well, before I get into that, there's something that I have to address; Tessa and her sister are revealed to have been kidnapped by their mother, Annette. There was a missing child case, known as the Macy Stevens case, in which a 2 year old was kidnapped from her hometown of Tennessee; it's revealed that Annette kidnapped her, forged a birth certificate, and renamed her. This resulted in the media heavily attacking the birth mother, until she eventually killed herself.

She later faked a pregnancy, and met a woman named Taylor online. Realizing that she lived a few miles from the store that Taylor worked at, she kidnaps Taylor, and murders her after she had given birth to Tessa. As for Lori, it's revealed that she murdered Lori as to keep her quiet about Jos' true lineage, and she threatened to murder a young Tessa when Jos learned that she was really Macy. When she reunites with Tessa, Annette drugs and kidnaps her; essentially, she's a delusional baby snatcher. As for mitigating factors, she is obviously mentally unwell, and she only kills two people as compared to the ORM's established killing of three women in two years, plus his killing of Ariel ten years later.
