Past[]
His parents divorced when he was young and his mother Trudie Keyes got primary custody, since his father wasn't interested in keeping him around. This rejection caused Darryl to lash out, to the point where he injured his hand with a substance that left a permanent burn scar on his hand. As an adult, Darryl seemingly moved past his issues and became a pharmacist and was on good terms with his coworkers and customers, ensuring every prescription was at the proper level.
Unknown to anyone, Darryl grew to become a serial rapist/killer and used his job to secretly pocket the drugs for his spree. Darryl targeted mostly mentally ill or vulnerable healthy women such as hitchhikers or drifters, taking advantage his plain appearance to make them drop their guard and testing the drugs on them for sadistic pleasure. Once he saw the drugs cause various reactions, he would assault and kill them in an abandoned house near his home. Darryl also constructed a tunnel in the closet of the rooms to head his mother's home should the women escape and get the law on his trail. His mother was aware of his actions and was complying participant by offering him safety.

Iris managed to escape, forcing Darryl to leave for his own home and by the time APD raid the home, he is gone.
Doubts were raised from Iris' story, since nobody was seen exiting the home and her mental illness.
